And good morning to you. It is Saturday, June the 28th. We're watching Capitol Hill this morning, where Senate Republicans are aiming to begin voting today on Donald Trump's sweeping spending bill. The latest 940 pages in all was released overnight.

Spoiler alert, this new Senate version extends tax cuts that disproportionately benefit the rich

and pays for them by slashing crucial medical and nutrition programs that are likely to

reverberate throughout the economy. We're going to have much more on where this

bill stands, what's hidden in those 940 pages, and the strategy that Democrats are reportedly

considering to fight its final passage. But we begin this hour with another dangerous power grab

by Donald Trump, facilitated once again by the United States Supreme Court. The decision handed down

by the supermajority conservatives yesterday is as consequential and as dangerous as their decision

to hand Donald Trump criminal immunity last year. The question before the justices was whether

federal courts and judges can stop a president from enforcing unconstitutional policies

before those policies do real irreversible harm. And then now the answer is, mostly they can't.

A universal injunction. It's an order issued by a federal judge called a circuit court judge

that blocks a potentially unconstitutional policy from taking

effect nationwide until the courts can deliberate and rule on its legality. And what the conservative

justices did yesterday to undermine nationwide injunctions may have profound and dangerous consequences

for every American, not just immigrants, or those who will

suffer directly from any potential unlawful federal edict. The case is called Trump v.

Kassa, and at its center, it's Trump's attempt to end birthright citizenship by executive

order to take away a right that is guaranteed by the 14th Amendment since 1868 and decades thereafter confirmed

by the Supreme Court. Every lower court that reviewed Trump's order agreed that it was almost

certainly unconstitutional. So they did what courts have long done when the government

threatens to break the law in a way that would harm thousands or millions.
