The ImmigrationProf Blog has hosted a symposium analyzing the oral arguments in a birthright citizenship case before the U.S. Supreme Court earlier this month. The symposium compiles posts from leading scholars in immigration and constitutional law, including contributions from the following experts:
- Jack Chin: "Lessons from the Oral Arguments"
- Ilya Somin: "Justice Barrett, Slavery, and Birthright Citizenship"
- Ediberto Roman: "Bearing the Sins of the Father…"
- Rachel E. Rosenbloom: "The Solicitor General Crossed a Line in Trump v. Barbara"
- D. Carolina Núñez: "The Citizenship Clause is Part of an Anti-Aristocracy Constitution"
The symposium also features a contribution from the author of this post, originally published on the Volokh Conspiracy blog. This contribution builds on the author’s earlier Lawfare article titled "Slavery and Birthright Citizenship."
The symposium post is available on Reason.com.
