Birthright Meltdown

The Supreme Court upheld more than a century of constitutional precedent on birthright citizenship—yet the reaction from many influential voices on the right has been nothing short of apocalyptic.

In this episode of It’s Happening Here, Tom Joscelyn and Bill Kristol examine the Court’s ruling, the history of the 14th Amendment, and why a decision that changed virtually nothing has sparked such an intense political and cultural backlash.

They also discuss how rhetoric around immigration, citizenship, and American identity has shifted in recent years—and what that says about the current state of American conservatism.
