The Overturning of Roe

Making the Case

Overturning Roe didn’t happen overnight. It didn’t happen on accident. It was the result of a decades-long effort to capture and control the Supreme Court.

In this episode, Senator Whitehouse is joined by NARAL President Mini Timmaraju, University of Michigan Law Professor and Strict Scrutiny host Leah Litman, and Rep. Hank Johnson. When the Supreme Court released the Dobbs decision last year, they shredded a constitutional right and overturned decades of legal precedent. But the decision itself wasn’t the only story making headlines at the time. A leak of the decision sounded alarms both inside and outside the Court.
