Legal commentator Edward Whelan will present to us us on "The 2024 Elections and the Future of the Supreme Court." Ed will explore how the upcoming elections could shape the future of the Court and its impact on key legal issues. Would a Republican victory help preserve or further solidify the conservative majority on the Court, on issues including as abortion, religious liberty, and administrative law? On the other hand, in the event of a Democratic win, how would the Court's ideological balance shift? And what about recent movements for court reforms like expanding the number of justices? There are high stakes ahead for the Court.
