Birthright citizenship just went to the Supreme Court, and the ruling was not what the headlines told you. On this episode of The Jenny Beth Show, Jenny Beth Martin sits down with Dr. John Eastman, one of the country's leading constitutional scholars, for a full hour on the most consequential Supreme Court term in a generation. Every major case this term asked the same question: who actually governs America, the people through the Constitution, or unelected judges, bureaucrats, and activists? Eastman explains why the 6-3 birthright citizenship headline is misleading, why the real constitutional vote was 5-4, and why the Fourteenth Amendment does not confer automatic citizenship on the children of illegal immigrants or temporary visitors. He walks through the 1866 Civil Rights Act, the 1898 Wong Kim Ark decision the Court misread for 125 years, Justice Thomas's 91-page dissent, and Justice Alito's warning that this is one of the most profoundly wrong decisions in American history. He also breaks down Trump v. Slaughter, the ruling that ended a 90-year-old precedent and restored the President's authority over the executive branch, and the Court's decision protecting girls' sports. Dr. John Eastman is a constitutional scholar who clerked at the Supreme Court, has been involved in more than 200 cases there, and founded a constitutional litigation center more than 25 years ago.
