What happens when the president loses in court, even at the Supreme Court, but repeatedly attempts to fight the battle again? New tariffs are offered after the old ones are thrown out. Birthright citizenship, resoundingly affirmed, is challenged anew. To Americans who lived in the South after Brown v. Board, this might sound familiar. And indeed, as we wrap up our Roberts court constitutional survey, and we arrive at the cases we take great issue with, this theme echoes back to the Shelby County case. We therefore discuss a question that has rankled many Americans in recent years. CLE credit is available for lawyers and judges from podcast.njsba.com.

The President did not file for reconsideration of the Court’s decision in Trump v. Barbara, but the President nevertheless doesn’t let the Constitution rest, issuing two new executive orders that purport to extend the set of persons not receiving birthright citizenship upon their birth, among other things. We take a look. Meanwhile, our review of the Roberts Court’s important constitutional cases brings us back to the Affirmative Action cases, and we take a look at them three years in. Finally, another listener question takes us to yet another corner of the constitutional canon - and Akhil is ready even without advance notice.

As we make our way through the 20 most constitutionally significant cases of the Roberts court, this episode takes us through two cases that have continued to have resonance with the American people and with the justices. Dobbs saw an infamous leak, a momentous decision, powerful electoral impact, and ongoing questions that echo back to an important limiting concurrence. Bruen brought a controversial methodology to questions of gun rights, caused mayhem at the lower courts, and spawned a number of subsequent cases that seek to clarify and perhaps recover from this sweeping opinion. We take you back - and forward - as we examine these cases on our way to an overall accounting of the Roberts Court. CLE credit is available for lawyers and judges from podcast.njsba.com.
