During Wednesday’s episode of “Ingraham Angle” on the Fox News Channel, Jonathan Turley, a Fox News Contributor and a law professor at George Washington University, shared his insights on the Supreme Court’s deliberation over a birthright citizenship case. Turley remarked that it was quite amusing to hear the liberal justices, who typically don’t let the Constitution’s wording interfere with their interpretations, adopting an approach reminiscent of the late Justice Antonin Scalia in their constitutional reading.
Turley elaborated, stating, “These justices are navigating over a century of legal precedent. What’s particularly amusing, Laura, and I’m sure you noticed too, was observing the liberal justices, who typically set aside strict constitutional language for their interpretations, seemingly channel Justice Scalia. They emphasized the importance of adhering to original intent, pointing out that this aligns with the English rule, which resonated with the conservative justices.”
He further noted that conservatives generally prefer to stick to established precedent and avoid overanalyzing the language, which in this instance, is working to the advantage of the left.
