Full Committee Hearing - Insular Cases Resolution

The legal precedent created by a set of rulings known as the Insular Cases set up a “separate and unequal” doctrine for the residents of the five populated U.S. Territories. To this day, federal courts continue to use this as justification to deny territory residents fair taxation, access to federal programs, and even voting rights. On Wednesday, May 12, we’re hosting a legislative hearing on H.Res.279, which calls on the legal system to abandon this unfair set of standards. Watch live here at 1:00 p.m. Eastern.
