In this episode of It's Complicated, legal analysts Asha Rangappa and Renato Mariotti break down the Supreme Court’s recent decision on universal (a.k.a. nationwide) injunctions. What does it really mean for the future of executive power and birthright citizenship? And how does this tie into Trump’s attempts to rewrite the 14th Amendment?

The hosts explore the legal nuance behind “complete relief,” class actions, and the Court’s growing tendency to centralize power. Plus, they dissect the implications of the Court’s language, the shadow docket, and how this decision might unfold in real-world litigation.

Later, they shift gears to analyze the surprising outcome in the P. Diddy trial — what the jury's verdict says about prosecutorial overreach, the use of RICO, and the controversial Mann Act convictions.
