532 – Birthright Citizenship at SCOTUS
In one of the most anticipated opinions of this Supreme Court Term, Trump v. Barbara questions whether an Executive Order with language that mirrors the Constitution is actually constitutional. I believe this history will remember this opinion as one of the dumbest of any Supreme Court in history.
531 – The Second Amendment and Your Right to Live Free
