Prof. Epps: It's a 'Hot October' for Supreme Court
October 8, 2019
October is here, and Supreme Court watchers are sitting up straight. The 2019 term is underway, and already a number of potentially controversial cases are on the docket. Pending SCOTUS review are federal protection for LGBTQ employees, gun rights, abortion rights and the fate of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, with rulings expected during the hotly contested 2020 presidential election. UB School of Law Prof. Garrett Epps says, "The court is nearly as polarized along partisan lines as is the nation, and like the rest of us is stressed by the unpredictability of the political situation and the Trump administration. All told, this is going to be a hot October term."
