SCOTUS Free Speech Ruling & The Birthright Citizenship Clash

SCOTUS Free Speech Ruling & The Birthright Citizenship Clash

Author: Jim Geraghty & Greg Corombos – Political Humor Commentary April 1, 2026 Duration: 29:08
Inez Stepman of the Independent Women’s Forum fills in for Jim Geraghty on Wednesday’s 3 Martini Lunch. Today, Inez and Greg break down a major Supreme Court free speech ruling, the latest birthright citizenship arguments before the court, Congress leaving DHS unfunded for another two weeks, and the jaw-dropping cost of college at George Washington University & other schools.

First, they react to the Supreme Court’s 8-1 ruling against a Colorado law that banned therapists from counseling minors to accept that their biological sex is correct. Inez also slams Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson as essentially writing op-eds from the bench instead of rooting decisions in the law. They also discuss today's high profile birthright citizenship case.

Next, they take Congress to task for leaving Washington for a two-week break while the Department of Homeland Security remains unfunded. Inez argues this dysfunction underscores the need for at least a talking filibuster, and maybe an end to the fllibuster altogether, to get things done. Greg is skeptical that ending the filibuster would be good in the short term or the long term.

Then, they dig into the skyrocketing cost of higher education after reports that George Washington University will charge returning students up to $98,000 per year for tuition, room, and board. Inez explains how government involvement in higher education continues to drive prices higher, leaving families burdened while universities reap the benefits.

Finally, they highlight the scheduled launch of the Artemis II mission, which aims to send astronauts around the moon and pave the way for future lunar landings and a permanent base there. They're glad to see America aiming high again, both in exploration and for our national security.

Each day can feel like a barrage of headlines, a chaotic mix of the serious and the absurd. That’s where 3 Martini Lunch-Political Humor & Commentary comes in. Hosts Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos have built a following by sorting through the noise with a specific, effective ritual. They serve up the day’s events in three distinct parts they call "martinis": one for the genuinely good news, another for the frustratingly bad, and a final one reserved for the utterly crazy stories that defy belief. What you’ll hear in this podcast is a conversation that feels like sitting with two well-informed friends who aren’t afraid to be sharp, witty, or blunt. They analyze politics and culture with a perspective that cuts through partisan talking points, aiming for clarity and, often, a much-needed laugh. The pace is brisk and designed for a commute or a lunch break, but the commentary is substantial. Tuning into this podcast means getting a digest of what matters, framed with humor and insight that makes the whirlwind of news actually digestible. It’s a daily check-in that manages to be both smart and consistently entertaining, providing a structured way to understand the world without losing your sanity in the process.
