  • Why Florida Copied Its ‘Don’t Say Gay’ Bill From Hungary & What It Means for Democracy in the United States by Floersheimer Center for Constitutional Democracy

    Why Florida Copied Its ‘Don’t Say Gay’ Bill From Hungary & What It Means for Democracy in the United States

    On the eve of mid-term elections in which polls find large majorities of Americans worried about the future of U.S. democracy, scholars and journalists are tracking growing interest here in the successful path of autocratic leaders abroad. Do once-democratic countries like Hungary offer American populists a meaningful roadmap for reforming the structures of U.S. democratic governance and constitutional law?

    Professor Shaw discussed:

    • The fact that for the first time, we now have real-time live audio of case arguments on the Supreme Court website (water rights cases can be weirdly interesting)

    • Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Org. (Mississippi case)
    • Cameron v. EMW Women’s Surgical Center (ostensibly procedural Kentucky abortion case that may signal how the later cases will be decided)
