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.
We will be talking about the CAC’s brief in Fisher v. Texas, which argues that the original understanding of the 14th Amendment suppors race-conscious measures, such as affirmative action.
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.
