Bob Orr, former North Carolina Supreme Court justice, on the Supreme Court's birthright citizenship ruling and limits on executive power

from WPTF Morning News

Former North Carolina Supreme Court Justice Bob Orr joins Lisa Price to break down the U.S. Supreme Court's 5-4 ruling affirming that birthright citizenship cannot be eliminated by executive order, calling it consistent with roughly 150 years of legal precedent. Orr explains what the decision means for future legislative efforts to address the issue, why a constitutional amendment would face enormous hurdles, and how the ruling fits into a broader pattern of the court trimming presidential executive power.
