Supreme Court justices will consider a dispute over congressional powers to authorize discrimination suits against states brought by service members injured abroad. Cases and Controversies discusses former Texas State Trooper Le Roy Torres' suit against the state Department of Public Safety for employment accommodations. He says he suffered lung damage due to exposure to burn pits while deployed in Iraq as an Army reservist. His attorney, Brian Lawler, explains how Texas and a handful of states say the federal government can't authorize such suits against states, even though they can be brought against local governments.
