Trump v. Barbara
Summary
Hosts Peter, Rhiannon, and Michael analyze the Supreme Court’s 5-4 decision in *Trump v. Barbara*, which narrowly upheld birthright citizenship against an executive order attempting to revoke it. They critique the lengthy dissents from Justices Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch, arguing their reinterpretations of the 14th Amendment are ahistorical and legally unsound. The episode highlights the precarious state of constitutional rights, noting that four justices explicitly rejected the longstanding precedent of citizenship for those born on U.S. soil.
