May 8, 2022

Radio talk show host Dale Jackson and Yellowhammer News’ Yaffee take you through Alabama’s biggest political stories, including:

— Who leaked the Supreme Court order that could overturn Roe v. Wade?

— Will Alabama go back and change an abortion law the sponsor has called “the toughest in the nation?”

— Is the U.S. Senate race ready for another shake-up?

Former U.S. Attorney Jay Town joins the show to discuss the Supreme Court leak, U.S. Representative Mo Brooks’ (R-Huntsville) potential testimony before the January 6 Committee and everything happening in Alabama politics this week.

Jackson closes the show with a “Parting Shot” directed at those who don’t understand that slowing down the economy to stop inflation will hurt real people. He argues that some lawmakers will eventually view that as an opportunity to spend more money.
