On Saturday, May 30, 2026, Max and Blake argue that three Supreme Court cases dominating the headlines are actually one story about who holds constitutional authority in American life.

• Trump v. Slaughter: The Court signals it may end 90 years of independent agency protections, dismantling the constitutional firewall between executive politics and regulatory bodies like the FTC.
• Trump v. Cook: A challenge to Federal Reserve independence exposes a market mispricing danger — bond markets are pricing in zero political risk at the Fed, a bet with serious free market consequences.
• Trump v. Barbara: The birthright citizenship case tests the 14th Amendment's text against an administration theory that legal scholars note the amendment's own framers never intended.
• Little v. Hecox / West Virginia v. B.P.J.: The transgender sports cases are better read as a federalism and constitutional scrutiny story than a culture war flashpoint.

The episode closes with a concrete local action item: read the 14th Amendment citizenship clause yourself, then check your senators' confirmation votes before the June rulings land. New episodes every Saturday.
