Breaking news from the Supreme Court where the justices have agreed to hear the birthright citizenship case on its merits. Joining us, MS Now senior legal reporter Lisa Rubin on its merits. Surprised.>> No. Maybe a little bit as to the timing, but not surprised that we're here again. We all expected that this would happen.Just to refresh, Katie, you and our viewers, last year, or I'm sorry, earlier this year, it feels like last year in June, we learned from the Supreme Court that they basically were kicking ...

I can tell you, Michael, that this has to not only be an embarrassment for the Eastern District of Virginia, but a terrible disappointment as well, because they made great efforts to have this go down very differently than it did initially. Lindseay Halligan, who is the embattled US attorney, I guess, for the Eastern District of Virginia. A judge ruled last week that she could not serve in that capacity, was not before the grand jury as we understand it.Instead, a career prosecutor borrowed from an office i ...

He wrote that he doesn't know whether it was intentional, neglig ...
