This week on Bloomberg Law's Weekend Law, legal experts break down three major developments: the Supreme Court's latest decision gutting the Voting Rights Act, the second indictment of former FBI Director James Comey in seven months, and the ongoing Bayer litigation.
Elections law expert Richard Hasen, a professor at UCLA Law School, analyzed the Supreme Court ruling that further weakens the landmark civil rights law, describing it as a critical blow to voting protections. The decision continues a trend of the Court restricting federal oversight of election laws.
Former federal prosecutor Robert Mintz, a partner at McCarter & English, discussed the Justice Department's decision to indict James Comey for the second time in less than a year. Mintz provided insight into the legal strategy and potential implications for the former FBI director.
The episode also covers the latest in Bayer litigation, with updates on ongoing legal battles over the company's products.
