OA1158 - We start off with some patron questions about what to do when ICE comes to your neighborhood, the one thing that the world’s most annoying white libertarians got right, and how to best exercise the very few rights US citizens have coming back into the country. Then in our main story: This week the Supreme Court heard arguments over birthright citizenship--or did it? Matt explains how they might do something even worse than expected while still striking down Trump’s attempt to end the  Constitutional right to citizenship for everyone born on US soil by executive order. 

Finally, we polish off today’s episode with a meaty footnote about the lies and tyranny of a very different kind of would-be monarch.
