How did roughly 8,000 babies become a supposed threat to America? I break down Trump v. Barbara, the Fourteenth Amendment, and how a policy sold as stopping “birth tourism” could deny citizenship to an estimated 255,000 American-born children every year. I examine the numbers behind the outrage, defend the constitutional case for birthright citizenship, and explain why neither party gets a free pass.
Should a president get to decide who is born American? Tell me what you think in the comments.

What is The Clerisy?
"The Clerisy" with Loren Moss comes out of a simple proposition: If we encourage thinking, we will have a more thoughtful society. Peter Bernstein was right when he said "The riskiest moment is when you think you're right," and thus we hope to introduce heterodox thinking to the debate that typically peddles a defective and false "left vs. right" dichotomy. This endeavor comes out of a sense of urgent responsibility: "If those who know why and how neglect to act, those who do not know will act, and the world will continue to flounder."- Alfred Korzybski, 1921
