The Supreme Court Saved Birthright Citizenship — This Time

from Defending Democracy with Marc Elias · host Democracy Docket

The Supreme Court upheld birthright citizenship 6-3, rejecting Trump's executive order — but three justices sided with Trump, and Justice Kavanaugh's concurrence signals the fight may not be over. Democracy Docket founder Marc Elias also breaks down the other cases that closed out the term: a 5-4 win in the mail-in ballot case, where the RNC tried to stop states from counting ballots postmarked by Election Day but received after, and a loss in his campaign finance case where six justices struck down a provision that had been law since 1976. The wins are worth celebrating, but the margins are narrow and none of these fights are finished.
