Inez Stepman of the Independent Women's Forum is in for Jim Geraghty for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch. Today, Inez and Greg discuss President Trump's Iran speech, the agreement among congressional Republicans to fund most of the Department of Homeland Security, and another facepalm moment from Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.

First, they're glad President Trump once again explained just how devastatingly successful the U.S. military has been against Iran over the past month and that operations should be over within 2-3 weeks. But there are still big questions about what conditions we need to say it's over and what happens after that in the region.

Next, they react to House Speaker Mike Johnson agreeing to take up and pass the Senate bill funding most of Homeland Security, except parts of ICE and Customs and Border Protection. It's a win for airline passengers and also for DHS employees who haven't been paid since mid-February. But it's another example of Republicans making frustrating concessions.

Finally, they cringe at Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s unusual illustration defending the prevailing interpretation of birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment. Inez also explains why the Trump administration is unlikely to win the case currently before the court.
