More of this, please! We need law professors with integrity and backbone to call out colleagues who attempt to launder Trump’s unconstitutional cruelty through bullshit originalism. And to do so in blunt terms without the cloak of polite formalisms that obscure the depths of hackery on display.
BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP AND THE DUNNING SCHOOL OF UNORIGINAL MEANINGS Evan Bernick, Paul Gowder, and Anthony Michael Kreis * ABSTRACT This essay critically surveys the recent debate surrounding birthright citizenship in the United States, particularly in light of arguments presented by legal scholars Randy Barnett and Ilan Wurman. Under the guise of "originalism," Barnett, Wurman, and others propose an ahistorical, revisionist interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment's Citizenship Clause. They suggest that the term "jurisdiction" should be understood as "allegiance," seemingly to give the veneer of legitimacy to the Trump Administration's view that the children of undocumented immigrants may not be American citizens. The essay argues that Barnett and Wurman's approach, which attempts to radically redefine the historical understanding of citizenship, is methodologically flawed and undermines core principles of constitutional law. Tbe critique exposes the inaccuracies and inconsistencies in their position and scrutinizes the scholarly merit of new theories of birthright citizenship that are wildly inconsistent with constitutional text, history, precedent, and unbroken tradition. The essay concludes by examining the professional responsibility of legal scholars to engage in rigorous, fact-based historical analysis rather than politically motivated reinterpretations that threaten to destabilize fundamental constitutional rights.

RIP Clint Hill, the US Secret Service agent who tried to protect JFK

Was an honor to interview him in 2013

I love this painting. It’s a 12”x12”x1.5” stretched canvas pour painting. Because of its depth it doesn’t need a frame. Check it out at BAC-ART.com

Mazie decided to give me a kiss! I love this sweet girl. We named her after Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI) who is one of my favorites in the Senate.
