SCOTUS In the wake of the recent Affirmative Action and abortion cases, what role do you believe the Supreme Court plays in American life? Does it have an outsized influence? What should be done? What can be done? 3. Speaker of the House After the ousting of Kevin McCarthy, the US House of Representatives was essentially paralyzed without an acting speaker.
