Ecuador's Election Could Have Lasting Consequences / Mark Weisbrot

In this episode of CEPR's Unpacking the Court three-part pod series, we sit down with Dr. Algernon Austin the Director of Race and Economic Justice at CEPR to unpack the June 2024 Garland v. Cargill decision, its ripple effects on federal gun regulation and more. Far more than a debate over bump stocks, they explore how the Supreme Court’s shift toward textualist deregulation undermines public safety, especially in Black communities, and what state and community-driven solutions can do to fill the gap.
