Looking Back At The Supreme Court’s 2019-2020 Term

Watch the full Goldwater Institute teleforum featuring Goldwater’s Jon Riches and Timothy Sandefur.

This month, the U.S. Supreme Court concluded an unusual term with some blockbuster decisions on a wide range of subjects—decisions that not only set important precedent on topics such as school choice, the status of Indian reservations, and the immigration status of children whose parents entered the country illegally, but that also indicate some profound differences in the ways the Justices interpret laws generally.

Yesterday, the Goldwater Institute hosted an online forum looking at some of these decisions and what they tell us about the future of American law. How does Justice Neil Gorsuch compare to some of his conservative colleagues? What are the limits on regulatory agencies that try to change the law? What does the future hold for a parent’s right to decide what schools to send their children to? Join Goldwater attorneys Timothy Sandefur and Jon Riches as they discuss some of the fascinating ins-and-outs of constitutional law.

We are grateful for your support of the Goldwater Institute’s efforts to advance and defend liberty throughout the United States. For over 36 years, we’ve been defending the rights of Americans to live their lives free from government interference.

Our plans for 2025 include:

  • Stopping pernicious DEI and other woke programs in America’s universities.

  • Defending parental rights across the United States so that parents can send their kids to the school that best fits their needs, free from leftist indoctrination.
  • Eliminating government interference in the fundamental right of individuals to own property and use it as they see fit.
  • And much, much more

We seek to restore the presumption of liberty; that people are free to act without first asking permission from the government.
