"and, subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens"
Jenny Beth Martin sat down with Dr. John Eastman — Senior Fellow and founding director of the Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence at the Claremont Institute — to break down what the 14th Amendment's citizenship clause actually says. He's been making this argument for 25 years, long before it was politically popular.
In this segment, Dr. Eastman explains:
• What "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" meant to the people who actually wrote it
• How Wong Kim Ark (1898) created dicta that was misread for generations
• Why Native Americans weren't automatically citizens until 1924 — and what that proves about original intent
• The birth tourism crisis: 200,000+ Chinese nationals born here as birth tourists, now military-age men inside U.S. borders
• What happens to people already born here if SCOTUS rules for Trump
• Why every other developed country applies this rule — and manages just fine
• How he expects the six persuadable justices to respond
Dr. Eastman will be inside the courtroom for oral arguments on April 1.
