Today I take a deep dive into one of the most controversial constitutional debates in America: birthright citizenship, Temporary Protected Status (TPS), and Justice Clarence Thomas’s dissent in the Supreme Court’s latest decision. This isn’t a reaction based on headlines—it’s a lawyer’s analysis based on reading the opinions themselves. I separate politics from constitutional law, explain why the fight over the Fourteenth Amendment is far from over, and discuss why many conservatives believe this case actually moved their legal arguments closer to eventual success.
I also tackle another issue that almost no one is talking about: the media’s response to the expiration of Temporary Protected Status for hundreds of thousands of Haitian migrants. Is this really about compassion, or is it about preserving access to a low-cost labor force? I explain why the word “temporary” matters legally, why many Foundational Black Americans are responding differently than the media expected, and why consistency matters when discussing racism, immigration, and public policy.
Finally, I examine what I believe is one of the most misunderstood constitutional disagreements on the Supreme Court today: the clash between Justice Clarence Thomas and Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson over the historical meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment. I explain the significance of Dred Scott v. Sandford, why the Reconstruction Amendments were adopted, and why I believe too many people judge judges based on personalities instead of judicial philosophy. Whether you agree with my conclusions or not, my challenge is simple: read the opinions before repeating someone else’s opinion about them. Facts over feelings. Integrity over tribalism.
