29:25Now PlayingMother Jones reporter Pema Levy joins Court Accountability Action’s Lisa Graves to talk about one of the most important cases in front of the Roberts Court, Trump v. Barbara, which considers Donald Trump's counter-constitutional attack on birthright citizenship. Pema and Lisa discuss the case, the fringe legal claims of John Eastman (the disbarred Clarence Thomas clerk), and the devastating consequences if the Roberts Court rules for Trump--along with the good PR John Roberts would get by ruling against him.
