The ACLU's New Podcast Talks SCOTUS

President Trump could announce his nominee to replace Justice Kennedy any time now, so you must be wondering: What will it mean to have a rigidly conservative Supreme Court? If Trump nominates a hardened ideologue, what precedents could be overturned? What civil rights and civil liberties are at stake?

Listen to the latest episode of the ACLU's new podcast, "At Liberty," to hear ACLU Legal Director David Cole unpack what Trump's Supreme Court pick could mean for our future legal battles – and how we can continue to defend and expand rights for all.

Justice Kennedy's swing vote was often the deciding factor in contentious cases: recognizing marriage equality, allowing affirmative action to continue, and preserving Roe v. Wade when it was very close to being overturned. His replacement will have a lasting impact on generations to come.
