The Supreme Court Upholds Birthright Citizenship and Bans on Transgender Athletes; What’s in a Heat Wave?

from Here's the Scoop · host Savannah Sellers, Lawrence Hurley, Bill Karins, Chloe Melas

In a 6-3 ruling, the Supreme Court blocked President Donald Trump’s executive order to limit birthright citizenship. But the conservative majority upheld a ban on transgender athletes and struck down campaign finance rules. NBC News Senior Supreme Court Reporter Lawrence Hurley discusses why the birthright decision was so close — and what the justices’ rulings this term tell us about their position on executive power. And with record high temperatures affecting roughly 162 million people and wildfires raging in the West, NBC News Meteorologist Bill Karins explains what’s causing the intense weather and if we’ll have more in store throughout the summer. Plus, are Taylor and Travis really tying the knot at Madison Square Garden? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
