The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that a group of Jackson plaintiffs do not have a right to uncontaminated drinking water, nor to honest information about it from public officials. If that strikes you as strange, you’re not alone. On this episode, host Wilson Stribling interviews Jade Craig, assistant professor at the University of Mississippi School of Law. They discuss common misunderstandings about the concept of rights. Then analysts Lucien Smith and Brandon Jones look at the Jackson water case as well as the broader topic of legal rights.
