<html><p>Today's episode is about the Constitution. It's a clear-eyed assessment of the assaults on it by the Trump administration, and a deep discussion of how we should think about constitutional interpretation and constitutional defense. Things aren't good. There's no denying that.</p><p>But things also perhaps aren't as bad, at least not yet, as the most shrill of the doomers insist. To dig into all this, I'm joined by <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/evanbernick.bsky.social" target="_blank">Evan Bernick</a>. He's a law professor at Northern Illinois University and has been one of the most thoughtful, persistent, and effective critics of the risible scholarship the Trump administration is using to justify its assault on birthright citizenship.</p><p><em>Produced by </em><a href="https://landryayres.com/?_bhlid=04c818b8847197e37f2ef125d751d30bc9dc7f56" target="_blank"></a><em><a href="https://landryayres.com/?_bhlid=04c818b8847197e37f2ef125d751d30bc9dc7f56" target="_blank">Landry Ayres</a></em><a href="https://landryayres.com/?_bhlid=04c818b8847197e37f2ef125d751d30bc9dc7f56" target="_blank"></a><em>.
