About this episode

During its last two terms, the US Supreme Court and its six-member Republican-appointed supermajority showed its power to shape important policy issues that affect all Americans, bringing down significant and highly controversial rulings on abortion, student loan forgiveness and affirmative action. So what’s next?

Bloomberg Supreme Court reporter Greg Stohr looks ahead at which cases are likely to be of greatest consequence this term—spanning gun rights, reproductive rights, speech on social media and how much power federal agencies should have. And later, we look at Donald Trump’s federal prosecutions, one of which is already before the court thanks to an extraordinary request from Special Counsel Jack Smith.
