Summary

Mike and Justin open this midweek supporters’ episode with a discussion of oral arguments at the Supreme Court in the birthright citizenship case. The Court is considering not the merits of the President’s order putting constraints on birthright citizenship, but rather if district court judges have exceeded their authority by issuing universal injunctions against the order.  Next is a look at President Trump’s executive order on lowering drug prices. Neither Justin nor Mike sees much in the order that will make a difference. Still, they’re both fans of the idea of lower drug prices for Americans - an idea that polls extremely well across ideological lines, but smacks of price controls, which are anathema to free-market conservatives. They close by considering whether states were doing the right thing in allowing online sports betting in the wake of a 2018 Supreme Court decision allowing them to do so. They consider rising gambling addiction and the strong pull of the online betting apps to be a serious problem for which states have yet to find an acceptable answer.
