TV (JoshLive): Interview with David Gans about Originalism, the 14th Amendment, & Fisher v. Texas
Tonight at 7:00 EDT/6:00 CDT, I will be talking with David Gans of the Constitutional Accountability Center.

Roger Clegg responded to the CAC brief here. Ilya Somin’s response is here. And David and Adam Winkler responded here. I commented on their brief here.
