11. Is the US Supreme Court fit for purpose?

  • Summary

  • The US Supreme Court has shocked the world by overturning the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling that had protected American women's right to abortion for almost 50 years. And other controversial recent rulings have fuelled questions about the legitimacy of the nation's highest court. As the row rages on, are further rights under threat? Or could calls for reform see the court's justices stripped of some of their power? This is The Overview.

    Presented by Julia O'Driscoll with guests Brigid Kennedy of The Week, Tanya Washington, law professor at Georgia State University College of Law and Journalist Jill Filipovic, author of OK Boomer: Let's Talk. Thanks to The Week's Kari Wilkin. Produced by Rich Jarman.
