Summary

The very RINOs who are undermining Trump’s agenda are bizarrely securing his endorsement. We begin by showing once again how the endorsements are killing any effort to pass a MAGA agenda. I also comment on the latest policy jockeying with the reconciliation bill. Next, we’re joined by constitutional law professor Josh Blackman for another discussion about judicial supremacy, recent political court cases, and the trajectory of their outcomes. Professor Blackman is not very optimistic in the long run that the Roberts court will fundamentally clip the wings of radical lower courts on enough cases. He offers some fascinating examples of hypocrisy with Roberts rushing in to overturn conservative lower courts while using the emergency shadow docket to keep terrible lower-court rulings alive, even when those issues are pressing. He also believes we are about to get screwed on birthright citizenship at the Supreme Court. The only solution is for other branches to grab back that power. The Florida attorney general is providing us with the test case. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

0:36.7	Vatican. And I'm not going to
0:39.0	get into that. It's just not my scope. I'm not Catholic. If you guys are Catholic, and if you
0:44.3	out there, feel free to email me your thoughts on the new Pope. But I was just thinking as an analogy
0:51.5	here, you know, this is a religious institution. It's a church.
0:56.7	So, you know, a bunch of people get together in a conclave and they get to decide what happens.
1:03.2	We have that system right now for governance. I mean, we didn't adopt it. But this is what it's like with the courts.
1:13.5	We always wait with baited breath, with, you know, butterflies in our stomach, waiting to see what five justices will say.
1:22.4	And it could be what's a marriage, what's a human, what's a citizen.
1:27.9	You know, this week we're going to have oral arguments,
1:30.4	not officially on the merits, but it probably will come in,
1:34.1	but on whether to lift the injunction on banning anchor babies.
1:39.3	That's going to be oral arguments on Thursday.
1:41.2	I'm thinking the notion that whether someone could break into the
1:46.3	country and drop a baby is going to be determined by this conclave of unelected life-tenured.
