0:00.0 | At the end of this busy week, capped off with today's Supreme Court decisions, let's turn now to the analysis of Brooks and K. Part. That is, New York Times columnist, David Brooks and Jonathan K. Part, associate editor for the Washington Post. And we should say that you are both joining us tonight from the Aspen Ideas Festival in Colorado. Your beautiful backgrounds make me wish I was there with you guys. It's great to see you, |
0:21.7 | but let's jump right in to those Supreme Court decisions today. Big wins for the president, |
0:26.6 | one on allowing religious parents to opt their kids out of LGBTQ learning and storybooks in school. |

1:25.6 | I'm thinking particularly of President Biden |
1:28.3 | and say student loan, student loan debt forgiveness. |
1:31.7 | But when it comes to what the court did |
1:34.5 | in terms of birthright citizenship, |
1:37.3 | the ruling has stayed, |
1:39.3 | the injunction is still in place for 30 days. |
1:42.2 | But after 30 days, |
1:49.6 | we're going to be in a situation where children born in the 28 states that weren't a party to this ruling could be born, not be citizens in those states. |
