Monday: SCOTUS Is About to Decide Who Gets to Be American

Monday, June 22 — The Supreme Court is deciding who gets to be an American, and the administration is already acting like the answer is settled. This episode breaks down the Court's packed end-of-term sprint: the birthright citizenship case (Trump v. Barbara), the administration's contested "domicile" theory under the 14th Amendment, and why even a narrow ruling could rewrite 128 years of precedent. Then the number that should stop you cold: a secret USCIS quota pushing 100 to 200 denaturalization referrals per month — against a historical average of 11 per year. Rush and Reagan argue these aren't two separate stories. They're two hands of the same policy squeeze. The roundup covers independent agency firings, transgender athlete bans, and mail-ballot deadlines — all landing before July. The split-decision scenario is the one to watch, and the denaturalization quota is already running regardless of how the Court rules. Bookmark SCOTUSblog. Connect the dots.
