Trump v. Barbara · ¶294

A wide range of originalist scholars have concluded that the 20th century executive practice was mistaken and that the Order has substantial lawful applications. See generally, e.g., Lash, 101 Notre Dame L. Rev. 101; R. Epstein, The Myth of Birthright Citizenship (2026); I. Wurman, Jurisdiction and Citizenship, 49 Harv. J. L. Pub. Pol’y 315 (2026); Swearer, 2 Tex. A & M J. L. & Civ. Gov. 73; R. Barnett, Trump Is Right on Birthright Citizenship, Wall Street Journal, Mar. 31, 2026; P.
