Gathering at Andrews airbase: Legal teams headed to Guantánamo Bay for a one-week pretrial session in the USS Cole bombing case. Two reporters and three legal observers are also headed down. https://t.co/oTndPpNfP1

Over the course of her new memoir, Jill Biden “keeps putting up hurdles for even the most sympathetic of readers,” Amy Davidson Sorkin writes. https://t.co/TUGpBEbpfa

I wrote about the SCOTUS decision in Trump v Barbara—just 5-4 on what the majority rightly called “the promise” of birthright citizenship in the Constitution. Trump, alarmingly, is not alone in trying to break that promise—and he never has been. @newyorker https://t.co/j90HFj13xx

The decision that rejected Donald Trump’s attempts to rewrite the Constitution was much too close. https://t.co/NEfkWvaWxG

Some background in here on Josh Turek, who just won the Democratic nomination for the Senate in Iowa—an open GOP-held seat that now seems to be in play. @newyorker https://t.co/oYuMtxdeA5

Pope Leo's Easter message:

"Let those who have weapons lay them down! Let those who have the power to unleash wars choose peace! Not a peace imposed by force, but through dialogue! Not with the desire to dominate others, but to encounter them!"

Post-Birthright Citizenship oral arguments, a prospect Kavanaugh raised—Trump’s E.O. is thrown out, but on statutory, not constitutional grounds—deserves more attention.
Not the likeliest outcome, maybe, but one that would unsettle what had been seen as a settled right.

“It’s a new world; it’s the same Constitution”—Chief Justice Roberts (reassuringly) in the Birthright Citizenship oral arguments

[Amy Davidson Sorkin @tnyCloseRead]

Trump, as a party to the case, is at SCOTUS—but what about Sarah and Matthew, the American babies who are among the respondents?

MUST READ: A bombshell NYT investigation shows that Cesar Chavez sexually abused young girls.

Dolores Huerta also discloses for first time that that Chavez raped her.

So much more from Manny Fernandez and Sarah Hurtes —>

I wrote about Trump’s loss in the SCOTUS tariff case (and more than people may want to know about Gorsuch’s 46-page concurrence on the “major questions doctrine”) for @NewYorker

[The New Yorker @NewYorker]

The Supreme Court shot down Donald Trump’s tariffs. On Friday, the President announced a new 10% worldwide tariff, this time under a different legal authority; by Saturday, he’d raised the rate to 15%.

A critical mass of Justices could upend our long-shared understanding of what it means to be born an American.

I wrote about new books by ⁦@CarolLeonnig⁩ - ⁦@byaaroncdavis⁩ & @jonkarl , which raise questions: Was the multiheaded drive to prosecute Trump a mistake? Did it help him? And did Merrick Garland get a bad rap? ⁦@NewYorker⁩ https://t.co/WSGoWztW5d
