The Supreme Court hears arguments Wednesday in a major abortion case, the first with Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh on the bench.
will hear arguments over whether Trump may shield his personal and business financial records from state and congressional investigatorsAmid the high-stakes litigation, Trump has ramped up his critiques of the court's liberals, accusing Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor of bias last week andIn the abortion case, the justices will consider a Louisiana law that was passed in 2014.
Travis Tu, lead attorney for the Center for Reproductive Rights, has argued in legal briefs filed with the top court that the admitting-privileges law fails to provide any medical benefits while presenting a serious burden on women seeking abortions. A substantial portion of Louisiana's argument has targeted what's known as third-party standing, or the right of abortion clinics to sue on behalf of the women they serve. Louisiana argues that the clinics should not be able to represent women in lawsuits targeting regulations that the state believes are necessary for their safety.
Both men also voted last year to allow the Louisiana admitting law to be enforced while the Supreme Court considered its constitutionality, though they were in the minority at the time because Chief Justice John Roberts sided with the court's liberals.
