Episode Details

The Supreme Court actually finished its term on time this year — and handed down four rulings on the very last day. Our favorite legal expert Lisa Graves joins me to walk through all of it: birthright citizenship surviving by a shockingly narrow margin, a cruel ruling against trans athletes, and a campaign finance case that makes Citizens United look modest by comparison. We also get into Clarence Thomas's corruption, retirement speculation, and what a Trump SCOTUS pick might look like next.

After the break: a caller helps me sort out the confusing 6-3 vs. 5-4 reporting on the birthright citizenship case, and I dig into the deeply disturbing story of Scott Wiener — a longtime trans ally and congressional candidate — getting chased out of San Francisco's Trans March over his stance on Gaza. I've got thoughts on what that kind of infighting actually does for us heading into the midterms.
