17:05Now PlayingIs Donald Trump actually right about a Constitutional law issue when he says that the 14th Amendment’s conferring of birthright citizenship is all about slavery? Trump wants to espouse the fringe legal theory pushed forth by disgraced law professor John Eastman (who faces disbarment over his legal efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election for Trump) that birthright citizenship does not apply unless a child’s parents were legally within the United States – a theory that if adopted by the Supreme Court would overturn over a century of precedent and allow Trump to re-write the Constitution by decree. But here’s the kicker: the question of birthright citizenship isn’t even properly before the Supreme Court. Former federal prosecutor and counsel to the Attorney General Shan Wu explains what the high court is really up to in this case and makes some predictions about likely outcomes.
