River to River, hosted by Ben Kieffer

Questions involving carbon pipelines, ghost guns, and vaping regulation were put before the Iowa Supreme Court and the United States Supreme Court.

As the death of United Health CEO Brian Thompson continues to make headlines, the U.S. Supreme Court has a case before them involving ghost guns, the weapon used by the assailant. The question before the court is whether an agency can classify these weapon parts kits as firearms.

On this River to River, host Ben Kieffer is joined by legal scholars Andrew Crouse and Lorraine Gaynor to look at the most crucial cases being decided by the Iowa and U.S. Supreme Courts, including this ghost gun case and a case involving youth transgender care access.

  • Andrew Crouse, professor of legal analysis, writing & research
  • Lorraine Gaynor, assistant professor of legal analysis, writing & research
