The Most Important Supreme Court Term in Decades
The latest term of the U.S. Supreme Court will include blockbuster cases on two of the most contentious topics in American life: abortion and gun rights.

Guest: Adam Liptak, a reporter covering the United States Supreme Court for The New York Times.
