Lisa Boothe sits down with Texas Congressman Chip Roy for a wide-ranging conversation about artificial intelligence, Big Tech, immigration and the problems he believes are preventing Congress from delivering meaningful reform. Roy explains why he supports the potential of AI while raising concerns about its rapid expansion, massive data centers, pressure on the electrical grid and water supplies, government subsidies, job displacement and the growing influence of a small group of technology companies. Rather than calling for sweeping federal regulation, Roy argues for greater transparency, congressional scrutiny and preserving nondigital alternatives — including cash, communications and transportation — so Americans aren't entirely dependent on connected technology. The conversation then turns to immigration. Roy explains his proposal to pause immigration while Congress considers changes involving birthright citizenship, chain migration, diversity visas, public benefits and H-1B visas. Roy has separately introduced legislation in 2026 that would change the H-1B selection process, require employers to make good-faith efforts to hire Americans first and restrict companies that recently conducted layoffs from hiring H-1B workers. Finally, Roy reflects on his time in Washington as he prepares to leave Congress. He discusses lobbying, reelection pressures, congressional spending, compromise and why he believes lawmakers too often focus on gaining influence and committee positions rather than solving major problems. He also talks about returning to Texas, spending more time with his family and remaining involved in public policy after his current term ends.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The mail-in ballot saga has come to an end — for now. Mary and Andrew detail yesterday's Supreme Court decision rejecting President Trump's restrictions on mail-in voting, which they call “good news” in the fight against election interference. “Knock it off,” Andrew says to paraphrase the Supreme Court: “we are not engaging in this.” Then, the co-hosts delve into two more examples of what they consider attempts by government bodies to meddle in the midterms, the first being Missouri's failed redistricting effort as the Supreme Court rejects the state's new Trump-backed congressional district map. The second: the Solicitor General's emergency motion to stay an injunction on the Trump administration's SAVE database, urging the court to restore the immigration verification system that was blocked by a lower court. Plus, the prosecutor who led the “grand conspiracy” investigation into Trump's political enemies earlier this year has left the probe. And former CIA Director John Brennan preemptively goes to court ahead of the government's likely prosecution against him.

The updates just keep coming. On Sunday, the Trump administration returned to the Supreme Court to ask for more control over mail-in ballots, coming two days after U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani's order blocking the government from implementing parts of the new Postal Service rule. Mary and Andrew analyze the case's implications as states begin sending out their ballots ahead of the midterms before turning to another update: a preliminary injunction issued in the CASA Inc. v. Trump case on birthright citizenship. Then, the co-hosts turn to the ICE agent involved in the shooting of a Venezuelan man during Trump's “Operation Metro Surge” in Minneapolis, who is now being federally charged with making false statements to the FBI about the event. They call this “good news” — an instance of the federal government choosing to intervene in an “outrageous” case instead of leaving it up to the states' discretion. Plus, the Supreme Court allows the construction of Trump's White House ballroom to continue.A Note to Listeners: As the 2026 midterm elections heat up, MS NOW is headed to the Lone Star State.

In breaking news, Judge Boardman (Federal Judge, Maryland) has entered a new Nationwide Preliminary Injunction declaring that, as it relates to a large class of babies already born in the US, Trump's latest attempt to deny birthright citizenship is in direct violation of the Supreme Court's 6-3 decision from June, Barbara v. Trump. Popok explains what happens next.

CAPTION 1900 UKVoting Rules and Birthright Citizenship BattlesRichard Epstein discusses constitutional legal battles surrounding mail-in voting and birthright citizenship. On mail-in voting, the Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to allow postal restrictions preserving custody. Epstein believes the court will support this neutral federal regulation. On birthright citizenship, a Maryland judge blocked an executive order narrowing citizenship eligibility, calling it unconstitutional. Epstein critiques her historical reasoning but acknowledges the Chief Justice shares her view. He explores complexities including diplomatic immunity, territorial status, and whether the government can restrict pregnant foreign nationals from entry to prevent birthright citizenship tourism.

Congress may pick up where the Supreme Court left off with birthright citizenship. The high court gave a kind of mixed bag on the issue in the spring, but upheld the fact that the President could not redefine a constitutional amendment with an executive order. But with the House back in session right now, they're looking into ways to restrict birthright citizenship. In a hearing on Capitol Hill, the House Oversight Committee is looking at so-called birth tourism.
Greg and Holly chat with the editor of SCOTUSblog, Kelsey Dallas, about the latest ruling against an Executive Order limiting Birthright citizenship, as well as what cases are to come before the Supreme Court.

A lot can happen in a week. Mary and Andrew begin with the most recent movement in the court battle against President Trump's three-tiered mail-in voting executive order. Last week, Judge Talwani issued a fresh injunction blocking one provision of the EO centered around the Postal Service, two days after the Supreme Court lifted a block from the same judge, saying the provisions in the EO could not be applied to November's midterms. The co-hosts affirm that this fight is far from over before moving to two more updates from cases they talked about last week: a motion brought by Mary's ICAP team alongside others challenging the 2026 birthright citizenship EO and a decision on Minnesota's effort to extradite an ICE agent from Texas, after he was charged with shooting Julio Sosa-Celis through the door of a Minnesota home. Next, a win for Anthropic after a federal judge ruled against the Pentagon, saying it acted illegally in labeling the AI company a “supply chain risk.” Plus: a moving video from an active-duty Marine Colonel pleading for an Afghan national to return to the US after he was deported- despite his asylum status after his family helped the US military in Afghanistan. A video edition of this episode is available on YouTube now.

Our latest Anchoring Truths Podcast returns to a topic discussed at the beginning of the summer which has only added resonance since: the true meaning of birthright citizenship under the Fourteenth Amendment.Our guest is a true giant of the American legal academy—Richard A. Epstein. Laurence A. Tisch Professor of Law at NYU, Director of the Classical Liberal Institute, James Parker Hall Distinguished Service Professor of Law Emeritus at the University of Chicago, Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, and now Senior Fellow at the Civitas Institute, Epstein has spent more than five decades reshaping how we think about property, contracts, torts, Roman Law, and constitutional structure. His landmark 1985 book Takings remains one of the most influential works of legal scholarship of the modern era. He is widely regarded as one of the most brilliant, rigorous, and fearless classical-liberal thinkers of his generation—a living legend whose writings have shaped generations of lawyers, judges, and scholars.He's with us to discuss his powerful new book, The Myth of Birthright Citizenship: What the Fourteenth Amendment Really Says, and to unpack the Supreme Court's recent decision in Trump v. Barbara.Read The Myth of Birthright CitizenshipFollow Epstein's latest writing at Civitas Outlook
My good friend from home, who happens to be a very bright conservative lawyer, joined me for the first time in a few years to discuss the following topics:- the craziness of 2020- Is Joe Biden a good man?- How is Trump 2.0 doing?- Originalism versus Living Constitution- The Birthright Citizenship debate- The surprising reason MJ doesn't like Ted Cruz- Why Rubio is the probably the best guy for the job
According to Mary and Andrew, recent moves by President Trump's administration have been following a pattern: “If at first you don't succeed, try try again.” The co-hosts begin by breaking down the flurry of news surrounding mail voting, starting with Monday afternoon's decision by the Supreme Court to allow President Trump's executive order curtailing mail voting to proceed, though not issuing a decision on the merits of the order. They discuss that decision in conjunction with the Postal Service's announcement on Friday for a final rule that would comply with the executive order, a move that Andrew calls a proxy for the government to “have the Postal Service act in a way that has a clearly disproportionate impact on certain voters.” Then, a conversation about birthright citizenship after a motion was filed yesterday rejecting Trump's executive orders that attempt to limit the legal principle. Plus, an analysis of the Second and Ninth Circuit Court's rulings disqualifying U.S. Attorneys that were improperly appointed by Trump and a quick nod to Minnesota suing the governor of Texas for not extraditing an ICE agent accused of shooting a man in Minneapolis. Tune in next week as we switch to Wednesday morning releases — and video editions of Main Justice available on YouTube.

Part 2! SCOTUS Series. Episode #2 of 5. In August 1895, a ship docks in San Francisco carrying a cook named Wong Kim Ark — born in that very city, armed with an airtight certificate proving it. The customs collector refuses to let him off anyway. What follows is a four-month standoff in the harbor, a Supreme Court case that will define what "American" means, and a legal argument that never really died. This episode traces Wong Kim Ark's fight for the citizenship he was already owed — from Chinese Exclusion to Angel Island interrogations to the Supreme Court's 2026 ruling that cited his case by name. Some questions, it turns out, don't stay settled. Find transcripts and show notes at www.digpodcast.org Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
The Republican nominee for the 9th Congressional District also called for a Constitutional amendment to limit birthright citizenship and said legal immigrant should "assimilate" to American culture instead of "taking advantage of America."
Original Air Date: April 2nd, 2026 The Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the case of Trump v. Barbara regarding President Trump's executive order issued on his first day in office, which seeks to limit birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment by denying automatic U.S. citizenship to children born in the United States if their parents are undocumented or present on a temporary basis. Justices from across the ideological spectrum asked pointed questions about the order's interpretation of the phrase "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" in the 14th Amendment and whether the executive branch can unilaterally alter long-standing practice and precedent on citizenship. President Trump attended the arguments in person, the first time a sitting president has done so. Lower courts previously blocked the order as unconstitutional. What will the Supreme Court's decision mean for the future of birthright citizenship in the United States?

The ACLU's Anthony Romero unpacks a sweeping docket—from a Supreme Court showdown over birthright citizenship to voting rights and free speech—as the rule of law is tested. --- In a timely conversation about the ACLU's massive docket of cases, Pam Karlan speaks with Anthony Romero, JD '90, executive director of the ACLU, about the surge of civil rights and civil liberties battles facing the country right now. Romero discusses major pieces of litigation spanning immigration, free speech, voting rights, and government accountability. A key focus is the Supreme Court showdown over birthright citizenship, where the Trump administration is attempting to deny citizenship to certain children born in the U.S., a move Romero calls an attack on one of the core promises of the Fourteenth Amendment. They also explore what happens when the government pushes the boundaries of compliance with court rulings and what that means for the rule of law.

Mary and Andrew begin this week by addressing Todd Blanche's “Meet the Press” interview with Kristen Welker, where, among other things, the newly appointed Attorney General proclaimed that “no attorney general should ever pledge” to act independently of the White House, despite decades of post-Watergate reforms. Keeping in the Blanche vicinity, the co-hosts detail a complaint filed by former Michigan AUSA Sunita Doddamani, who alleged she was fired without cause simply for doing her job prosecuting FACE Act violations. Then, a dive into revelations of undercover agents targeting Minnesota nonprofit organizations as part of an investigation that led to indictments of protestors that, in Mary's view, included “a whole lot of First Amendment protected activity.” Plus, Trump changes a Treasury Department rule making it harder to find fraud and illegal activity and asks the Supreme Court to let him keep building the ballroom while they appeal a lower court block. Last up, an unsatisfying end to litigation against the administration over their use of the Alien Enemies Act after the 5th Circuit en banc panel dismissed the case. Further Reading: Here is the filing in the case Sunita Doddamani brought to challenge her firing.

Let's talk about Trump's Birthright citizenship move and desperation....
Will Rosenzwieg was an Assistant US Attorney in Florida working on a significant Medicare fraud case when he was summarily fired by then AG Pam Bondi, citing Article II. He's now suing AG Todd Blanche and the Justice Department. His attorney, Margaret Donovan, joins this episode to share how a years-old blog Rosenzwieg had written criticizing Trump—before he was ever a federal employee—led to his dismissal, hours after it surfaced on social media via a right-wing influencer. “It's remarkable that the government wouldn't recognize what is so flagrantly a First Amendment violation,” Donovan says. After detailing the complaint, Mary and Andrew move to Todd Blanche's confirmation, before examining a ruling by an Alabama judge rejecting a motion to dismiss the case against the Southern Poverty Law Center on vindictive grounds. Next, they look at the latest in Trump's White House ballroom case after an appeals court upheld the block on its construction last Friday. Plus: a nod to his two new executive orders targeting birthright citizenship.

The Supreme Court struck down the last attempt by the president to limit birthright citizenship. Now President Trump is trying again. This time with two executive orders that are narrower in scope. Iran has released details of an agreement it is finalizing with Oman, to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The critical waterway wouldn't be open to American and Israeli ships. And Trump's public messaging about what happens next in Iran is simply not matching reality.Want more analysis of the most important news of the day, plus a little fun?

This is HUGE! President Trump signed two new executive orders that are much narrower than his original 2025 order, after the Supreme Court ruled that his earlier broad attempt to end birthright citizenship violated the Constitution. The administration says these new orders target specific exceptions rather than eliminating birthright citizenship generally. Trump says if SCOTUS wont do their job, he'll do it for them!

President Trump's executive orders targeting birthright citizenship and birth tourism, debate the future legal battles ahead, and discuss a federal judge allowing the end of Haitian TPS protections, Flock license plate cameras after another officer is accused of abusing the system, celebrates the Braves extending their winning streak, examines why Gen Z is delaying adulthood, and reacts to the Miss North Carolina title controversy.
The first ticket on Mary and Andrew's agenda: the latest on Todd Blanche's confirmation. After prodding from two Republican Senators, Blanche released a Sunday night statement allegedly rescinding the $1.776 “Anti-Weaponization Fund” to pacify their concerns. And by all measures, it worked. But in Andrew's estimation, the statement was “the world's smallest fig leaf,” with both hosts noting that the “settlement agreement” can only be changed in writing if signed by both parties. Mary calls it “basically a press statement” rather than a legal order. Then, they turn to former FBI Director James Comey's filing of multiple motions to dismiss his “Seashell” indictment, including one on the grounds of vindictive and selective prosecution. They detail court filings that show an array of issues with the case, including surveillance of him and his wife by the Secret Service. Next, Andrew and Mary detail why Jeanine Pirro's Reflecting Pool case against Olympian David Hearn fell apart, after a disastrous rush to charge before the facts were in. And last up: Trump asks the Supreme Court to hear an appeal over E. Jean Caroll's $83.3 million defamation verdict.

Let's talk about Trump failing on his rehearing on Birthright Citizenship....
Mary and Andrew begin this week by addressing the Department of Justice dropping the subpoenas they ordered against New York Times journalists who reported on security concerns regarding President Trump's new Qatari-government-gifted Air Force One jet, noting that the attempt to subpoena the writers speaks to a failed effort of “chilling and intimidating” other reporters. But still, there were even more subpoenas: last week, the DOJ filed subpoenas for 14 major law firms as part of an ongoing lawsuit between the American Bar Association (ABA) and the Executive Office of the President, which Mary and Andrew believe is an effort by the government to try and “get the law firms to pressure the ABA to drop this lawsuit.” They also touch on an update to journalist Katie Phang's lawsuit against the federal government over Epstein files redactions and address Jack Smith's criminal referral by House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan. Plus, two immigration-related cases: a judge's decision to throw out a DOJ lawsuit challenging Minnesota immigration laws and an appeal court's decision to reverse a lower court decision releasing Pro-Palestinian activist Mohsen Mahdawi.

Our podcast today focuses on several U.S. Supreme Court rulings involving presidential authority, birthright citizenship, and election procedures. The conversation examines competing constitutional interpretations of executive power, the structure of federal agencies, immigration and citizenship policies, absentee ballot regulations, and judicial reasoning in closely divided court decisions. It also includes extensive discussions on American politics, ideological disputes, government institutions, immigration, capitalism, communism, national identity, and public remarks made by political figures regarding America and its values. 1. Presidential Authority to Fire Officials A Supreme Court ruling on President Trump's authority to remove officials from independent federal agencies strengthened presidential control over the executive branch by overturning or limiting previous precedent that restricted a president's ability to remove agency officials. It is characterized as a major constitutional and political victory for presidential power. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) should be fully accountable to the president because they are part of the executive branch. Bipartisan commissions may become less common as a result of these decisions. 2. Commentary on Zohran Mamdani and Progressive Politics His Fourth of July remarks were anti-American and compare progressive or socialist policies to communism. Communism produces poverty and authoritarianism and contrasts "American exceptionalism" with what we characterize as Mamdani's worldview. 3. Birthright Citizenship Another major topic is the Supreme Court's handling of birthright citizenship. Children born in the United States to undocumented immigrants should not automatically receive U.S. citizenship. Current policy, an argument for restricting birthright citizenship, expresses support for either a constitutional amendment or federal legislation to change it. 4. Mail-In Ballot and Election Law Case Supreme Court case concerning absentee ballots in Mississippi. The Court upheld a law allowing ballots postmarked by Election Day to be received and counted afterward. The ruling will make it harder to make elections fair and argue for stricter election procedures and federal election reforms. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
