1398: Gender Justice

Supreme Court Fast-Tracking, Jacobson v. Massachusetts

The hosts discuss the legal process for challenging mandates, noting that cases must typically move through appeals courts before the Supreme Court decides to hear them. They revisit the 1905 *Jacobson v. Massachusetts* case, often cited by legal scholars like Alan Dershowitz. They clarify that the historical ruling allowed for a fine for non-compliance but did not grant the government the right to forcibly inject citizens.
