The Trump Administration takes office, and the Constitution is immediately in the crosshairs. An executive order targeting birthright citizenship and the Fourteenth Amendment is issued on the first day, with an even more extreme version of its renouncement than had previously been contemplated. The pushback begins in a Washington courtroom, and a Federal District Judge shoots it down with a nationwide injunction. But surely the legal battle continues; we are here to arm you with Professor Amar’s arguments, articulated over many years and well in advance of this crisis. Text, history, structure, precedent, and more are placed in the service of the Constitution and one of its most fundamental and consequential sentences. You should be in a position to argue this case before the Supreme Court after listening to this episode. CLE credit is available for lawyers and judges from podcast.njsba.com
