Tuesday round-up
on Jul 7, 2015 at 9:07 am
End-of-Term overviews come from Nina Totenberg of NPR, who describes the October Term 2014 as a “historic term, a surprisingly liberal term – and a nasty term.” And C-Span has video of a panel featuring a group of Supreme Court reporters discussing the just-ended Term and making predictions for next year.
Other coverage of and commentary on the Court focus on criticism of the Court by Republican presidential candidates. At Yahoo! News, staff of the National Constitution Center discuss calls by Mike Huckabee for term limits, while Katie Zezima of The Washington Post reports on Ted Cruz’s advocacy for judicial retention elections.
Briefly:
- Additional commentary on the Court’s decision in Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs v. The Inclusive Communities Project, in which the Court held that the Fair Housing Act does allow a cause of action based on disparate impact, comes from Richard Rothstein, who in a post at the Working Economics Blog argues that the Court’s decision “will not by itself make a big practical difference in policy.”
