12:54Now PlayingBeginning today, the Supreme Court's new term is expected to see cases on a number of important and highly contentious issues. The last session was defined by a single case, the Affordable Care Act, President Obama's signature bill, which was upheld by a 5-4 vote and cleared the way for the largest revamp of America's healthcare system since the 1960s. In the new term, the Court is expected to hear cases on a number of important and highly contentious issues, ranging from affirmative action and same-sex marriage to corporate accountability for international human rights violations and voting rights. We're joined by Nan Aron, President of Alliance for Justice.
