Wednesday: Civil Rights under attack: the Supreme Court guts a key provision of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. Our guests are Barbara Arnwine, Executive Director of the Lawyers Committee on Civil Rights and Professor Spencer Overton of George Washington University Law School and former Justice Department official.
And the Supreme Court rules on the Defense of Marriage Act which bars gay and lesbian married couples from receiving the same federal benefits as opposite sex married couples and on California’s Proposition 8 which banned same sex marriage. We speak with Rick Jacobs of the Courage Campaign.
