Exploring Legal Boundaries: Green Card Revocations and Conversion Therapy in the U.S.

In this episode of Discourse, host Wayne Unger, a law professor and former tech professional, delves into two significant legal issues: the Trump administration's revocation of a Columbia University student's green card and the Supreme Court's decision to hear a case on state bans against conversion therapy for minors. The discussion provides a thorough analysis of the constitutional implications of both actions, considering First Amendment rights and due process. Listeners are encouraged to think critically about the balance between free speech and government regulation, and are reminded of the importance of protecting all constitutional rights uniformly. The episode underscores the complexities and nuances of recent legal battles and their broader implications on society.
