THE INTERVIEW| Will US Supreme Court Straddle the Line on Birthright Citizenship?

For more than 150 years, one sentence in the Constitution has quietly settled who belongs here at birth. Tonight, that sentence is under fresh philosophical and legal assault. Birthright citizenship, long treated as settled law under the Fourteenth Amendment, is now being reexamined by the U.S. Supreme Court in a case that could redraw the boundary between nationality and inheritance. At stake is not just immigration policy, but the meaning of citizenship itself… whether it is automatic, earned, or revocable by political design.University of Michigan legal scholar Richard Friedman joined Hilary Golston to unpack the gravity of what’s before the Court.
