Things to Read This Week (2/23/26)

The latest word on the birthright citizenship revisionists

Just one thing this week but it’s important:

Birthright Citizenship Re-Examined, by Michael Ramsey. This is a big one. So far the best thing I have read about the current debates and the closest to my views. The piece is especially valuable for explaining in detail the difference between Lash’s arguments and Wurman’s, which are quite different in ways I have not seen discussed. Also very valuable for explaining how 80% of Wurman’s analysis can be correct and yet lead to the opposite of the conclusion he advocates.

My Youngstown piece is held up by the (new?) SSRN review process so you’ll have to wait a bit for that one.
