The Week's True Verdict: Corporations Win, Everyone Else Loses

At 29:40 · chapter starts 28:50

Viewed individually, each ruling has its own legal rationale. Viewed together, they tell a single story. This week: corporations can't be sued for abetting foreign government atrocities; corporations can't be sued for insufficient cancer warnings on pesticide labels; corporations can sue Cuba for seizing their oil. Meanwhile: TPS holders can't challenge their deportation in court; incarcerated people can't sue officials who violate their religious rights; permanent residents can't enforce their right to re-enter the country. The consistent answer to the question 'who gets to sue and win' in the Roberts Court is: corporations. Everyone else — immigrants, prisoners, workers, asylum seekers — has been systematically stripped of legal recourse.
