## Resource

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. Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
