Having business before the Supreme Court will want to draw near and give their attention. Announcer landmark cases, cspans special history series. Exploring the human story and constitutional dramas behind 12 Supreme Court decisions. Quite often, in our famous decisions, the Supreme Court was unpopular. Lets go through a few cases that illustrate what it means to live in a society of different people who help stick together because they believe in the believe in the rule of law. Tonights case is katz v. United states. It is a 1967 case. Charles katz was an unlikely hero. He took his wiretapping case to the Supreme Court and in a seven to one decision expanded our privacy rights. We will begin by listening to Justice Samuel alito in his constitution hearings where he talked about the importance of the kats case. I was talking about cats versus the United States this morning in relation to wiretapping. You had to look into property law in the interest of an invasion, and then with the de
ripping off his gloves saying i can t help you anymore. a year later, abortion access is even worse. republicans remain focused on restricting laws that americans overwhelming reject. the body inside a mom s body is not her body. not her body. not her choice. the supreme court may have empowered the states to reshape abortion law. but reproductive rights remain a national issue that the biden/harris administration and congress must respond to. tonight, from dallas, this a state considered ground zero in the national fight over abortion rights, this is one year post-roe a reidout special. thank you for joining me on this special edition of the reidout. my guest is vice president harris. we wanted to bring around this table people whose lives and works were affected by the elimination of the right to an abortion. joining me are genesis sanchez, amanda zarosky, lead plaintiff in the lawsuit against the state of texas. shannon brewer, and dr. todd ivy, an ob-gyn in the
