Trump’s Attack on Birthright Citizenship Echoes a Confederate Playbook

The Supreme Court recently heard oral arguments in a landmark case regarding birthright citizenship. This case seeks to alter the meaning of a key constitutional provision by presidential order. The provision in question, protected by the 14th Amendment for over 150 years, is a fundamental right in the constitution. The justices appear skeptical of the challenge. Further details on this case and its implications are available from Ms. Magazine, which reports on the potential rewriting of birthright citizenship and its connection to historical legal arguments.
