They’ll give Donald what he wants because they’re afraid that not giving him his way and him doing it anyways will expose them as powerless.
They only have the power we give them.
Well, since Trump's parents are immigrants then I guess he cant be President under Article II, Section 1, Clause 5. Seems like the only logical conclusion.
Seeing as Im Native American, which at one point was 100% of the American population but is now 2%, I'll probably know our next President or have a decent shot at it.
I’m all for giving native Americans a lopsided amount of representation in America.
There’s no decision, but this band of thieves hasn’t let that stop them yet.
It's an open and shut case. There is no rational legal argument for ending birthright citizenship.
Unfortunately, this court doesn't seem to feel bound by little things like laws, precedents, the constitution or reality. If I had to bet on the outcome, I'd assume they will give Trump what he wants yet again. I want to be wrong about that, but at this point I think it's a safer bet to assume this court will always do the worst thing possible.
What he wants is the focus on "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof" as used in the 14th amendment. He isn't after birthright citizenship. He wants formal recognition that certain people are not owed constitutional protections.
Immediately, he wants "immigrants" to be in the same category as "enemy combatants", whose rights and privileges are defined by international treaty, rather than recognized by the constitution.
Getting ready to rubber stamp it!
Best case scenario, this was taken to keep birthright citizenship and make other god awful rulings seem more palatable.
