politics

This is the case that seems the most clear out of any in the past few years.

The text of the amendment isn't murky at all.

"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."

There's no way to interpret that being born in the US doesn't convey citizenship.

A Justice should have no loyalty but to the law.

First time reading about the GOP?

Crazy thing is that 2 justices will almost always happily vote to throw the constitution in the trash if it helps with party politics.

Why bother, just sign an EO. /s

They wouldn't stand a chance of doing this with the states, it would cause a civil war.

They couldnt even get it past a Republican controlled vote.

They have Republicans in office that were not even born in the USA. People forget asshats like Ted Cruz.

It is if no one stops him. The Constitution doesn't do anything unless people actively uphold it. So far Trump's gotten away with so many things because no one's actually stopping him.

I keep waiting for the American public to take a stand, but apparently they're willing to sit there on the couch while their democracy is stripped away.

The thought of a clearly defined and settled case getting heard by SCOTUS is bad enough on its own. This doesn't even coincide with any kind of real world event besides an asshole President saying, "I don't like this rule."

It's like they'd already been conditioned to be outraged about some other selectively-ignored sacred text…

They have only read one of the amendments all the way through and part of another one and the rest is too boring to read.

Too many.

I seem to recall the right wailing about cancel culture not too long ago...

This is the result of normalizing the practice of religiously indoctrinating children and leaded gasoline.

If we can't have a progressive, Coney-Barrett would be a better chief justice. She seems to at least try to follow the Constitution (most of the time). Eff her for lying about RvW in her confirmation hearing, though. Eff all those guys.

She’s certainly performed better than expected. She actually seems to give a damn about the application of law in most cases.

they fast tracked her to the highest court in the country thinking she was properly trained to be their good little soldier

If it makes you feel better she basically is the rubber stamp you expected, all she did here was “show skepticism”

Its a cult, they don't care. It just leads existing cult members to isolate harder from outsiders and stay loyal.

The more they attack someone verbally the more threats that person will receive from their cult.

It’s not about their rage changing anyone’s mind. It’s the threats of violence that follow. Those can make people fall in line or go into hiding and either of those is a win for the oppressors.
