Uh, yeah you can in our system. It's the Supremacy Clause + an Amendment to the Constitution.


Robert's argument denied that "domicile" was not required so there is no supremacy clause in play.

Unlike Obergefel where the court simply said that the family law statues of one state were better than the family law statutes of another state.

Nothing indicating your stance is supported by the actual text.

Then you concede that your argument loses what little rhetorical value it may have had.

You just engaged in rhetorical Seppuku

That is a complete and total lie.

If you look at adjudications from the era some citizenship documents identify common law jurisdiction and others identify civil law jurisdiction.

Louisiana to this very day still uses civil law as a state court foundation of the adjudiation process.

So Supreme Court rulings, which are based in common law, didn't apply in Louisiana (or the Louisiana territory prior to statehood)?

Not at all...

"and of the State in which they reside" is right within the Amendment.


Justice Thomas pointed out in his dissent that Robert's stance was both historically and legally inaccurate.

In other words, Thomas called Roberts a LIAR. Which is true!

Did Thomas write a concurrence or dissent?

If they make it illegal for women to remain or come into the U.S. if they are not a citizen and so far into their pregnancy then you will not have to worry about it. So there are in fact loop holes they could create to keep it from happening and it wouldn't be unconstitutional. So Chip Roy is correct.

Roberts used a Common Law definition of jurisdiction that was specifically rejected in one of articles within the Declaration of Independence.

For example, if we used the British Common law definition of Natural Born, Kamala Harris would not be eligible to become president.

The bottom line is that Roberts fabricated his own reason for voting while totally ignoring tons of evidence about original intent and original implementation.

Also, while the SC may have appeal jurisdiction, it is basically 100% discretionary whether they take a case up or not.

You need to read Thomas' dissent for yourself.

It is 100% accurate as it explains and proves every mistake that Roberts made.

The legislation would have to be tailored and be specific.

I'm sure they can draft something very specific to outlaw private gun ownership.

If the constitution can be changed by legislation, go big or go home.

Not if the states start to implement it...

Texas has already stopped issuing birth certificates. Governor Abbott is fighting this on several fronts.

Roberts only overturned an EO.

Exactly...

British Common law only looks at the status of the mother. Not where the birth takes place. Neither of her parents were citizens at the moment of her birth.

According to British Common law she is not Natural Born.

Something has to change. Because those on both sides of the argument don't have pure motives. But failure to do so will screw this country up in the future beyond the time you and I are on the planet in the live form.

The law was poorly written. The amendment needs to be address.

Unfortunately congress wants to destroy the USA so they wont fix it even though it is their job to do so.

So presently the only path going forward other than fixing congress (haha) is to keep pregnant foreigners out of the USA.

We need to do that temporarily until either the SC can incorrectly "interpret" the law or Congress can be cleansed of the trash that it is.

Congress can take away jurisdiction from Courts it created. It cannot take away the judicial power granted in the Constitution.

If Congress exercised the power you are talking about then the question would be whether a litigant could go straight to SCOTUS, or if the litigant would first file in state court and work its way to SCOTUS.

What takes this power away from Congress?
