I don’t think Gator is saying throw away the constitution.

He’s saying the SCOTUS misinterpreted the constitution.

He posted a summary of Wong Kim Ark that is incorrect, which was validated yesterday.

And because she* is a "citizen" her children don't even have to be born here to be "citizens". China and so many other nations can just breed "Americans" for generations that never have to step foot on American soil. This is the anti-American clown world our board lefties, and lefty "legal beagles" are celebrating.

*I know she lives here, Chicago iirc

Giving foreigners with no allegiance to this country the ability to be our leaders is retarded. You idiots will give away this country while feeling morally superior by standing up for a poor interpretation of "muh Constitution."

I love the Constitution so much that I'm going to let others use it to ruin the best country in the world. I'm so smart.

It was a big win for the enemies of America, so I can see why some of the responders in this thread are celebrating.

WKA was the wrong ruling, too. Using a bad ruling to justify an even worse ruling doesn't make one the legal scholar he thinks he is.

It's not a poor interpretation if it's based on historical fact. The framers of the 14th intended it to work as it does, which is why it's written that way. Not liking what's written isn't the same as poor interpretation.

Again, you'd have to take that up with the guys who wrote it. We could check to see if they said something about gypsies and Chinese who were untrustworthy but afforded citizenship anyway?

Emotional argument. "Does this benefit people I don't like?" isn't a question the supreme court should consider when making decisions.

WKA’s parents were legal residents, not illegal.

The court could have stuck with that and not expanded citizenship to children of illegals.

The left loves abortion. How about mandatory abortion for pregnant illegals.


We could call the program, “free reproductive healthcare for immigrants”

I think the decision would've been even more lopsided if the government argued that. Gorsuch says it in his dissent:

quote:

The government insists that aspect of the order can survive any possible legal challenge, too, because individuals can secure domicile in this country only if they do so in compliance with federal law. See ante, at 57–58, n. 10 (THOMAS, J., dissenting). About that, however, I harbor doubts. Perhaps Wong Kim Ark does not squarely foreclose the government’s posi- tion. After all, that case addressed a child born to parents who lawfully resided in this country. Still, I wonder: Is a child born here to parents who have long chosen to make this Nation their permanent home not a citizen under the Fourteenth Amendment solely because his parents’ pres- ence violates statutory law? If those parents are not domi- ciled here, then where are they domiciled? And if the an- swer is nowhere, how can we reconcile that conclusion with this Court’s longstanding recognition that every person is domiciled somewhere?

The Chinese Exclusion Act at that time forbid citizenship to his parents and under Chinese law the Emperor of China had legal authority over Chinese anywhere they were.

One of my best friends in California is the son of legal Guatemalan immigrants and he is a proud American patriot and Trump supporter, as are his parents. He would spit in that bitch's face.

This ignores birth tourism while including it as constitutional. It's a terrible argument to support the overall decision.

Speaking of saying something stupid…

There was nothing in that post about throwing away the constitution. First, there is a solid case to be made that the constitution does not mandate birth tourism. Second, there are constitutional ways to change it since it has been deemed by a majority on SCOTUS to be the law of the land.

Oh no! Some Chinese spy stole something stupid, but he was an "American citizen" so it is all good.
