Professor Hill Talks with Indianapolis Newspaper about Impact of a Trump Supreme Court
12/08/2016
Some conservatives who oppose abortion rights and the rights of same-sex couples to marry have become energized over the notion that future United States Supreme Court picks will be made by President-elect Donald Trump. IU McKinney Professor John Hill talked with Nuvo Newsweekly in Indianapolis about the likelihood of precedents being overturned.
In the story, Professor Hill points out areas where rights that some conservatives object to are rolled back rather than overruled completely, noting that judges are cautious about altering long-standing precedent.
Professor Hill is the author of After the Natural Law: How the Classical Worldview Supports Our Modern and Moral Political Values, which was published in March by Ignatius Press. He holds a J.D. and a doctorate in philosophy, both of which he received from Georgetown University. In addition to being a professor of law at IU McKinney, where he teaches constitutional law, civil procedure, torts, jurisprudence and ethical and legal issues at the end of life, he also is a Grimes Fellow, and an adjunct professor of philosophy in the Department of Philosophy at IUPUI.
