Quite Frankly Ep. 57: Birthright Citizenship, KrisAnne Hall from Oxford & Patrick Henry at 250

It's July 2, 2026, the actual 250th anniversary of the Lee Resolution, and Frank opens by reading John Adams' letter to Abigail about the day that ought to be commemorated forevermore. Then straight into the Supreme Court's birthright citizenship ruling, Justice Thomas's dissent, and how the 14th Amendment has been quietly repurposed into something Trumbull and Howard would not recognize. For the interview, Frank calls KrisAnne Hall in Oxford, where she has been accepted to study at Oxford's law school for the summer. She walks through her three published errors on the SCOTUS ruling, why jus soli is a doctrine of kings and conquerors, why a constitutional amendment is not happening in this generation, and why the actual fix is a simple act of Congress. She delivers Patrick Henry's Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death speech from March 1775 in full, and she ties the 1761 Declaratory Act to what the American colonies actually rebelled against. Callers dial in with Fourth of July memories from 1975 Boy Scout camp, the 1976 Bicentennial, and the tall ships flown over New York Harbor. Frank closes with a Vincent Collins bicentennial short and the raffle winners.
