This week’s special guest is former Speaker of the House, historian, and author Newt Gingrich. We discuss his recent testimony before the House Judiciary Committee on “Judicial Overreach” as well as his historical perspective on the battles we are seeing in the nation’s courts.  With a classic movie review of “Seven Days in May,” the 1964 Frankenheimer film about a secret plan to take over the government and depose the president during the Cold War.

Hans von Spakovsky talks with lawyer and  Navy veteran Cully Stimson about the “abominable” decision of a federal judge barring the Defense Department from revising its military standards on gender dysphoria.

He also provides a classic movie review of “Judgment at Nuremberg,” the 1961 movie about the military and the courts and the prosecution after the end of WWII of Nazi leaders for crimes against humanity.

On this week's edition of Case in Point, we address one of President Trump's most controversial executive orders, titled "Protecting The Meaning And Value of American Citizenship" with Heritage Senior Legal Fellow Amy Swearer. The Order moves to end birthright citizenship practice -- something which guarantees that U.S.-born children are citizens regardless of their parents’ status.

The next day, attorneys general from 22 states sued to block the Executive Order by asserting that the President is attempting to eliminate "a well-established and longstanding Constitutional principle" by executive fiat. But is he?

What is the history of the language of the "citizenship clause" in the 14th Amendment? And what does it reveal? What happens next in the litigation? All that and more on this week's edition of "Case in Point"
