Season 6, Episode 29 (Show 291): There You Go Again

August 12, 2026

Executive orders from the President seek to undermine or misinterpret Trump v. Barbara; reviewing the Roberts Court cases takes us to affirmative action.

CLE Credit Available for this episode from podcast.njsba.com.

The President did not file for reconsideration of the Court’s decision in Trump v. Barbara, but the President nevertheless doesn’t let the Constitution rest, issuing two new executive orders that purport to extend the set of persons not receiving birthright citizenship upon their birth, among other things. We take a look.  Meanwhile, our review of the Roberts Court’s important constitutional cases brings us back to the Affirmative Action cases, and we take a look at them three years in.  Finally, another listener question takes us to yet another corner of the constitutional canon – and Akhil is ready even without advance notice.
