Description

Sarah Longwell and Georgetown University Law Center's Steve Vladek discuss the Supreme Court's final day of the term—a narrow 5-4 ruling upholding birthright citizenship, the court gutting independent agency protections (while carving out a suspicious exception for the Fed), and a rapid-fire tour through rulings on mail-in ballots, trans athletes, campaign finance, TPS for Haitians, and asylum seekers at the border. Plus: why Amy Coney Barrett has become the MAGA right's newest target, and what Steve thinks Alito is waiting for before he retires. Ready to reach your weight loss goals?

It’s so telling that the criticism on the right is almost exclusively targeted at Justice Coney Barrett and not Chief Justice Robert’s or Justice Kavanaugh who also broke from the President. At the end of the day she is a women in power and that will always be her original sin to these maga psychos.

I remember Lindsey Graham, during KBJ’s confirmation ranting and whining, like only that little prick can, about “legislating from the bench” . Not a squeak out of him these days

This court's hypocrisy is so galling- they can't even state a principle and stick to it; they simply change the principle to suit their desired outcome.

So weary of the fascists being referred to as “conservatives.” There’s nothing conservative about shredding the Constitution

Kavanaugh's opinion saying that Congress can change birthright citizenship with legislation shows how unqualified he is to be on the court. Changes to the Constitution have to be made via a constitutional amendment.

I enjoyed hearing Mr. Vladeck’s analysis. His explanations are clear and concise and I appreciate his calm demeanor amidst all this craziness. Andrew Weissmann is my absolute favorite but Mr. Vladeck gets high marks too!! Thanks Bulwark!

Agree with Steve; felt relief because it wouldn't have surprised me if they had ignored the Constitution on this issue

Yay! Steve Vladek is one of my favorite legal analysts and he's back on with Sarah!
