LEARN MORE We the People Podcast: The Supreme Court Remote Argument Part 2 Last week, the Supreme Court continued to hear oral arguments by teleconference, and the National Constitution Center recapped those arguments live on C-SPAN with advocates on either side of each case. Tune in to this recap for Our Lady of Guadalupe School v. Morrissey-Berru—which raises the question of whether two former teachers who taught at Catholic schools fall under the “ministerial exception,” and thus are unable to sue their employers for alleged employment discrimination. Host Jeffrey Rosen was joined by Sunu P. Chandy, legal director of the National Women’s Law Center, and UCLA law professor Eugene Volokh to explain the case and recap the argument. Download the episode here or wherever you find your favorite podcasts. The National Constitution Center's education team is here to help with any of our online resources. Email
