Top DOJ Lawyer: Vetting Conservative Justices Should Start with Birthright Citizenship

In a recent discussion, Theo Wold, a top DOJ lawyer, emphasized that vetting conservative justices should begin with scrutinizing their stance on birthright citizenship. Wold argued that this issue should have been a key factor during the vetting process for justices in the Trump administration. This debate matters because it touches on fundamental questions of constitutional interpretation and the eligibility of individuals to serve on the Supreme Court, potentially reshaping the court's ideological balance. It underscores a broader political battle over the meaning and application of constitutional principles.
