Aug 25, 2026 · 1h 2m

Summary

Law professors discuss the Supreme Court’s recent stay on an injunction against a Trump executive order restricting mail-in ballots, noting the ruling was procedural and did not address the merits. They also analyze a new motion challenging a second executive order attempting to limit birthright citizenship, arguing it violates the Constitution despite the Court’s previous rejection of similar claims. The hosts explain how these legal maneuvers aim to disenfranchise voters and redefine citizenship ahead of the 2026 midterms.
