Week in Review: Roe vs Wade, right to carry, and Charleena Lyles inquest

Bill Radke discusses the week’s news with Publicola’s Erica Barnett, Seattle Times Patrick Malone, and Puget Sound Business Journal’s Alex Halverson. We were also joined today by Eilis O’Neill.

The U.S. Supreme Court officially reversed Roe v. Wade on Friday, declaring that the constitutional right to abortion upheld for nearly a half century, no longer exists. What impact will this have in Washington?

The Supreme Court this week also ruled this week that Americans have a right to carry firearms in public for self-defense. What does this mean for Washington?

On Tuesday, an inquest began into the 2017 Seattle Police killing of Charleena Lyles, a black woman who was shot in front of her children by two white officers. What have we learned?

Officers arrested 31 members of Patriot Front, a white supremacist group after hearing for nearly two months that a Pride event in a northern Idaho city was likely to be targeted by far-right extremists. Two of those arrested for misdemeanor conspiracy to riot are from King County, and three others are from elsewhere in Washington. What are their ambitions for chaos in the Puget Sound area?

The Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce has lost its appeal challenging the JumpStart Seattle payroll tax. In a decision filed Tuesday in the Washington state Court of Appeals, the court disagreed with the chamber's argument that JumpStart is an illegal tax on the right to work for wages. Does that mean similar taxes are on the way?
