George Soros, Birthright Citizenship, and the Lost Constitution - Randy Barnett

I sat down with Georgetown University constitutional law professor and originalist scholar Randy Barnett to discuss his books on his time as a Chicago prosecutor, how the Supreme Court has reinterpreted the 14th Amendment, and whether Trump’s birthright citizenship restrictions should be upheld by the Court.We get into:* How George Soros changed prosecution from a nonpartisan job into an ideological one* The missing Privileges or Immunities Clause of the 14th Amendment* Why the DEI framework contradicts the original meaning of the Equal Protection Clause* What libertarians have gotten wrong about public infrastructure and private power* The meaning of “subject to the jurisdiction” and why Trump’s argument is stronger than the media admits* Why creed and culture have to reinforce each other for a free society to survive_____________________________________Make the switch to real oral care.
