Justice Thomas Breaks Tie This Time: Weekly Recap

Justice Thomas Breaks Tie This Time: Weekly Recap

Last week, Justice Gorsuch cast the tie-breaking vote to join his more liberal colleagues in an American Indian treaty case. The week before, it was Justice Kavanaugh crossing over on antitrust. This week, the latest contestant on Join-the-Liberals is the ever-idiosyncratic Justice Thomas, casting the tie-breaking vote against Home Depot in a class action case. But he made waves once again on the opposite end of the ideological spectrum, with a separate opinion in a case over an Indiana abortion law in which he dueled with Justice Ginsburg, alleging her dissent in the case “makes little sense.” Hosts Kimberly Robinson and Jordan Rubin break down those opinions as well as others on retaliatory arrests and Social Security benefits. They also highlight the latest case added to the high court’s already-charged docket for next term involving a cross-border shooting. With 38 decisions in argued cases down and 31 to go, stay tuned for more “Cases and Controversies.” Hosts: Kimberly Robinson and Jordan Rubin. Producer: Nicholas Anzalotta-Kynoch.
