This is the work that we did in the Senate, the work that we do at court account.
An ability to expose this multi 100 billion dollar scheme to invest in the development of doctrines and fake facts and an entire apparatus to advance this stuff.
And normally that's what we see.
It's what we've seen in pretty much every other doctrinal context.
And here, this Trump-driven attack on birthright citizenship was not similarly supported by that type of infrastructure.
It was just a couple scholars at the last minute who threw this stuff out.
And so I think you're right.
On some level, it's less structural.
I do think there's a structural dynamic here, right?
They're trying to define what citizenship means so that they can start to
uh really continue to to shape who who gets to be a person in this country and who gets to have political equality uh but you know i think it's striking and and and jarring that this frivolous theory that had no you know no backing even from this movement got four votes from this court which suggests and i saw you had
Ellie Mistel on the show yesterday.
He's terrific.
I'm sure he got into this, but this is not over.
Right.
They're going to continue to hammer at this and Alito or Thomas will retire and they're going to re-up their majority.
And these projects are far from over on citizenship, immigration, but many other issues also.
Yeah, it was pretty clear at the time.
I think what they understood was power.
They understood the structure and design of the Constitution, which parts of it were, you know, susceptible to sort of democratic progress and democratic power.
