Game changer: How the Supreme Court just rewrote the rules of politics

from The Briefing with Jen Psaki · host Jen Psaki, Rep. Jamie Raskin, Kristen Clarke, Rep. Jason Crow, Jim Messina

After years of political party power players like Senator Mitch McConnell trying to take control of national party purse strings to which candidates to help and how to shape the party, all it took was one ruling by the Supreme Court to change the way campaign politics is funded. Jen Psaki talks with Jim Messina, former campaign manager for President Barack Obama about how the Supreme Court's ruling changes the game in terms of how political donations are spent. Donald Trump has had a long-time fixation on the political power of demagoguing around restricting citizenship and who can be called a citizen of the United States. And despite the plain language of the 14th Amendment of the Constitution, Trump is not alone on the radical right in wanting to expunge birthright citizenship as an American right. Rep. Jamie Raskin and general counsel for the NAACP, Kristen Clarke, talk with Jen Psaki about creeping right-wing tide against birthright citizenship and the significance that today's Supreme Court ruling was too close for comfort. Rep. Jason Crow talks with Jen about the eyebrow-raising results coming out of tonight's Colorado primaries.  To listen to this show and other MS podcasts without ads, sign up for MS NOW Premium on Apple Podcasts.
