Wagner And Winick On The Law

This Year's Law Day is celebrating the upcoming 150th anniversary of the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution. The Fourteenth Amendment is one of the most litigated parts of the Constitution. It is the basis for landmark decisions such as Brown v. Board of Education (1954) regarding racial segregation, Roe v. Wade (1973) regarding abortion, Bush v. Gore (2000) regarding the 2000 presidential election, and Obergefell v. Hodges (2015) regarding same-sex marriage. In current issues such as immigration law, sanctuary cities, and personal privacy rights, the 14th Amendment provides due process and privacy protections that are being challenged in courts. In fact, the US Supreme Court heard a 14th Amendment case just this past month. Join the co-hosts to review the 14th Amendment as it continues to define and protect many of the fundamental US Constitutional rights.
