Welcome back to Lex Liberas, home to discussions of the world’s finest constitution and the legal tradition surrounding it. Each Sunday I send out a newsletter recapping the past week in constitutional law, and on Fridays like these, I explore a subject in-depth.

Up until this week, I was preparing an in-depth piece on all the elections cases before the Court this term, and was planning to include this week’s argument in NRSC v. FEC in the discussion. However, finals and a nasty cold have sidelined me, so I will delay that article until it is fully ready, and share this piece I had published in the New Guard Press last month. With the recent grant in the birthright citizenship case, this makes for an ideal rerun in a less-than ideal situation.

If you enjoy the article, please check out New Guard. They’re doing wonderful work.

Before reading though, please share this blog with a friend!

Alright, let’s get into it!
