The 14th Amendment at 150, Part 1

This month marks the 150th anniversary of the enactment of the 14th Amendment, which has been abused perhaps more than any other part of the Constitution. Steve Hayward welcomes back to the show the pseudonymous mystery guest from last week, "Professor X," who knows more about the 14th Amendment than the Power Line crew has forgotten. In this first of a two-part series, Steve and "Prof. X" take you inside the classroom to untangle the "equal protection" clause—what it was intended by the Congress that wrote the Amendment, and how it has been twisted by modern courts. And "Prof. X" will get a new moniker going forward at the end of this show. You'll just have to listen to find out what it is!
