But the rest of the court saw right through that and recognized that when you're sitting down having a conversation across the table from someone, that that's obviously speech and it must be protected by the First Amendment.

There are over 20 states that have laws just like Colorado's, and there are over 100 localities that have similar laws as well.

The Supreme Court's decision makes very clear that those laws face a

very significant burden if they're ever going to be applied to simple conversations between counselors and clients.

And so we're very optimistic that this is the end of those laws to the extent governments try to apply them to shut down voluntary conversations between counselors and their clients.

Well, I would start with the language of the 14th Amendment because the 14th Amendment speaks directly to the issue of citizenship.

And it says that all persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United States.

Now, that was originally approved by the people in order to grant citizenship to freed slaves.

But over time, some have come to understand that as allowing people

birthright citizenship to children born to illegal immigrants.

But President Trump, on his first day back in office, he signed an order saying that babies born in the US will no longer automatically get citizenship

if their parents are here illegally or only temporarily.

And then very, very soon after that, the ACLU filed a lawsuit, and so that order has never been able to go into effect.

Yeah, the case really hinges on a phrase that I recited before.

So in that 14th Amendment language, it says, subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.

And so both sides dispute what that means.

On the one hand, the challengers to those laws say that being subject to the jurisdiction just means that you're subject to the laws.

And so anyone that's present in the US is subject to US laws.

And if that's the proper understanding...

then birthright citizenship should belong to anyone born in the US.
