The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments last November about whether President Trump exceeded his executive authority by imposing what some are calling “sweeping, worldwide tariffs” in Learning Resources Inc. v. Trump. While we wait for the high court to render a decision, John Yoo, a University of California, Berkeley, law professor and visiting scholar at the University of Texas at Austin, joins Jack Fowler to predict how the court will rule on this, as well as many other high-profile cases, in the coming months.
I don’t understand Dr. Yoo’s prediction on birthright citizenship in view of Jacob Howard’s speeches after he WROTE the birthright portion of the 14th Amendment. Jacob Howard of Michigan said that he intended it to be applied to the newly freed slaves only. He wrote it. I read that he spent the rest of his life going around the country giving speeches to that effect. If that is true, what clearer revelation of intent does anyone need?
