Abortion Litigation and Second Amendment Litigation After Dobbs and Bruen
On Saturday, September 17 at 3:15pm, the Supreme Court Preview will feature a panel on "Abortion Litigation and Second Amendment Litigation After Dobbs and Bruen." With its landmark decisions in Dobbs (overruling Roe v. Wade) and Bruen (vindicating a Second Amendment right to carry a gun outside the home), the Court spoke with a tone of finality. Quickly thereafter, however, many complicated legal issues have arisen in the wake of both Dobbs and Bruen—including questions on the right to travel, federal/state authority over access to abortion medication, and new challenges to gun regulations, like California’s ban on high-capacity magazines. This panel will discuss which issues are likely to reach the Court first and will predict whether and how the Justices will handle them.
