What Did SCOTUS Do Now? | Law Professor Sam Bagenstos talks to Susan J. Demas

No, the Supreme Court didn't rule that Trump's attempt to end birthright citizenship stands. But the right-wing Court gave him a big win in his ongoing quest to exert executive power.

We have been absolutely blitzed with decisions from the Supreme Court this week, including cases on birthright citizenship, Planned Parenthood and Medicaid funding, parental rights and religious freedom in schools, and more.

“This is a very conservative Supreme Court,” says University of Michigan law professor Sam Bagenstos. “This is a Court that believes in executive power — at least when Republicans are president — and they have worked really hard to consolidate the power of this president.”

Sam returned to Lincoln Square to break down several consequential cases with Executive Editor Susan J. Demas: CASA v. Mayorkas, Mahmoud v. Taylor, and Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic.

And for more on the Planned Parenthood case, make sure to read Sam’s article with Hannah Katch, who previously served as the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) senior advisor for Medicaid in the Biden Administration.
