Joining the discussion are David Gans, Director at the Constitutional Accountability Center, and Kurt Lash, Distinguished Professor of Law at the University of Richmond. They dive into the heated debate over Tennessee's law banning medical transitions for transgender minors. Gans argues this law violates the Equal Protection Clause, while Lash defends its legality. The two scholars dissect the implications of landmark cases like Bostock and Geduldig, scrutinizing legal standards for sex discrimination and the evolving interpretation of the 14th Amendment in relation to transgender rights.

Kurt Lash, a constitutional law expert advocating for originalism, joins Ilan Wurman, who specializes in administrative law, Gabriel Chin, an authority on immigration policy, and Amanda Frost, a citizenship law scholar. They delve into the constitutional challenges posed by the Trump administration's executive order targeting birthright citizenship. The discussion navigates historical roots, the intentions behind the 14th Amendment, and the implications for equality and legal precedents. They also explore the legal complexities surrounding citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants.
