The Supreme Court hears arguments today in three cases challenging President Donald Trump's effort to end birthright citizenship. Lower courts have blocked the president's order, which he signed on his first day back in office. However, the primary debate in court today will center on something else: the legality of nationwide injunctions, or when a lower-court judge single-handedly puts a government policy on pause nationwide. These rulings have been instrumental in blocking some of the president's most egregious policies. Washington State Democratic Attorney General Nick Brown, leading one of the cases in today's hearing, talks about what's at stake. And in headlines: Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy told lawmakers, 'I don't think people should be taking advice, medical advice from me;' the CDC reported drug overdose deaths dropped significantly last year; and Omaha, Neb., elected its first Black mayor.

  • It's Thursday, May 15th.

  • I'm Jane Koston, and this is What A Day, the show that has always been called What A Day,

  • and not just like Big Day Show or some other rebrand we need to walk back two years later

  • because no one knew what the hell this podcast was called.

  • Take notes, HBO.

  • On today's show,

  • Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. continues to show us he's not qualified for the job.

  • And like he told us this time.

  • And a left-wing political commentator and streamer, Hassan Piker,

  • talks to Crooked about being questioned by border agents at a Chicago airport.

  • But let's start by talking about the Supreme Court.

  • Again.

  • Today,

  • the court will hear oral arguments regarding the Trump administration's efforts to end birthright citizenship in the United States.

  • But while that's obviously the headline issue that most people are paying attention to,

  • with good reason, that's not actually all that the court is deciding right now.

  • Instead, the court is debating nationwide injunctions,

  • in which a judge blocks a policy from going into effect nationwide.

  • We've seen this happen multiple times this year,

  • 17 times between Inauguration Day and March 27th, for example.
