Could the 14th Amendment Block Trump from the Presidency?
Legal analyst Kimberly Wehle on the 14th Amendment and whether it can be used to keep Donald Trump off the ballot.
Guest Host: Steve Roberts
The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a case that pits the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles against a Civil War veterans group. The Sons of Confederate Veterans requested approval for a vanity vehicle license plate decorated with a Confederate flag. The DMV rejected the design, saying many Texans consider the flag to be a symbol of slavery and racism. Lawyers for the veterans group argued that its license plate design is protected under the First Amendment of the Constitution. Join us for a discussion on free speech and the Confederate flag.
