SCOTUS Just Barely Preserves Birthright Citizenship

In their second emergency episode in two days, Leah, Melissa, and Kate break down the Court’s final day of the term and folks, it’s a doozy. We’ve got America’s preeminent “father of daughters” Coach Brett Kavanaugh’s majority opinion allowing states to exclude trans women and girls from female sports teams, a massive blow to campaign finance law, and the survival of birthright citizenship by the skin of the 14th Amendment’s teeth.

To top it all off, we got an Alito retirement fakeout courtesy of NPR. Get tickets for STRICT SCRUTINY LIVE on November 6th in Washington, DC: Buy Melissa’s book, The U.S.
