Lincoln's Promise Kept

Lincoln's Promise Kept

America gets a 250th birthday present from the Supreme Court as Chief Justice John Roberts authors an opinion for the ages in Trump v. Barbara. The Court went big and decided on the basis of the Constitution, not merely the Congressional statutes, that Abraham Lincoln's wish for the nation, birthright citizenship, which gives rise to the chance for birth equality and therefore the "new birth of freedom" Lincoln bequeathed us, will live on - and will have its best chance to endure. We look deeply into the opinion to find the great themes the Chief Justice, joined by four women, sounds. And what about the arguments made on this podcast in recent months? Can they be found in the opinion, and if so, do they strengthen it? Join us for a close look.
