The Supreme Court delivered three major rulings this week, James Comey was indicted for the second time, and Jenny Beth Martin sat down with two of the country's sharpest constitutional law minds to break it all down. Carrie Severino, president of the Judicial Crisis Network and former clerk to Justice Clarence Thomas, joins the show to walk through Louisiana v. Callais (the 6-3 ruling against racial gerrymandering), the unanimous First Choice Women's Resource Centers donor privacy victory, and the high-stakes oral arguments in Mullin v. Doe over whether the Trump administration can end Temporary Protected Status for hundreds of thousands of Haitians and Syrians. Then Dr. John Eastman, senior fellow and founding director of the Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence at the Claremont Institute and former clerk to Justice Clarence Thomas, joins Jenny Beth for a wide-ranging conversation on the Comey indictment, the Brandenburg true-threat standard, the Counterman v. Colorado decision, and the alarming wave of lawfare against attorneys who represent President Trump. Eastman also breaks his silence on his April 15th California disbarment and announces he is taking the case to the United States Supreme Court. Jenny Beth closes with King Charles's surprise Boston Tea Party joke from his joint address to Congress, the deeper Anglo-American constitutional heritage behind the moment, and a renewed call to pass the SAVE America Act and fully fund the Department of Homeland Security.
