Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Courthouse Steps Preview: Trump v. Barbara
Q: How much does the context of the 14th Amendment drafted in relation to African-American enslaved people factor into the original meaning of the clause?
It is relevant in the following sense that any theory of the amendment has to confer citizenship on the freed people.
Courthouse Steps Preview: Trump v. Barbara
Q: Doesn't Professor Wurman's argument suggest that unlawful aliens aren't protected from the laws against murder, et cetera?
You can be under the protection of law to some respect without being under the protection of the sovereign in the complete respect and in the sense of the 14th Amendment.
Courthouse Steps Preview: Trump v. Barbara
Q: Should someone born in the United States to non-citizens have a lifetime obligation to pay US taxes, a lifetime obligation to serve in the US military, if drafted, a lifetime entitlement to Medicaid and a lifetime right to vote?
Under the original understanding, that is what they were saying, is that you have this general rule that makes people citizens, if they're born here, subject to these small exceptions.
Courthouse Steps Oral Argument: NRSC v. FEC
Q: Could you give a little bit of nuance to the pure speech side of things that he was talking about versus this sort of general approbation of a party or a candidate's point?
The court has drawn a line between spending in support of a candidate and contributions, highlighting the expressive aspect of contributions compared to political speech.
Courthouse Steps Oral Argument: Olivier v. City of Brandon
Q: What did you make of some of the questioning later on in the oral argument about whether or not prisoners would ever be able to bring suits or actions addressing violations of their religious rights in prison?
Our position is that the Heck Bar should not apply as long as the relief is purely perspective in nature, not affecting the underlying conviction.
