i m dressed up as lady justice and i believe that it stands for the fact that justice should be blind. it should be without bias. and there s religious bias in the supreme court. extreme religious bias. the thinlgs going on in texas drove me here today. reporter: the supreme court will be back in session on monday. they are not taking up this texas law, but they are taking up a mississippi law, banning abortion after 15 weeks. so this is an issue that voters say will be front and center, particularly, they believe, a ruling could come down regarding that particular case mid-next year, right around the time of the midterm elections and so full focus on this issue. suzanne malveaux, with cnn, in washington. jessica levenson is a professor of law at loyola law school and joins me now from los angeles and host of the podcast, passing judgment.
center, particularly, they believe, a ruling could come down regarding that particular case mid-next year, right around the time of the midterm elections. and so full focus on this issue. suzanne malveaux, cnn, in washi washington. jessica levenson is a professor of law at loyola law school and joins me now from los angeles and also the host of the podcast, passing judgment. thanks so much for being with us. hundreds of marches around the country support from coming in from around the world. what message do you think yesterday s event sent? i think they sent a message that there are a lot of people who care deeply about this issue, more so than just posting on facebook or twitter about how much they care, but actually leaving their homes and literally taking it to the streets. i think the real question, though, will be, can people channel this energy they put into a communal event, which frankly in a lot of ways is a
