Brenna Lewis | October 20, 2020
The 1973 Supreme Court case that legalized abortion on demand through all nine months and for any reason (alongside its companion case, Doe v. Bolton) is known as Roe v. Wade.

Brenna Lewis | October 12, 2020
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have engaged in quite the show of mental gymnastics with their non-answers on the integral question about if they will pack the Supreme Court by adding more members to the Court than the typical nine.
