Why are Democrats opposed to this? I don’t get a lot of their stances on illegal immigration, but it’s ridiculous we waited this long to do anything about it.

That’s incorrect. Illegals have a constitutional right to eduction.

Yeah, they were talking about former slaves not foreigners entering illegally and dropping babies on our country.

That's literally irrelevant to their analysis.

It changes nothing.

Way more recent precedents have been overturned than this one.


Roe is a good example of what you're talking about and that literally put the lives of some Justices and their families in danger.

That said, I don't think this SCOTUS has the balls to go through that level of pushback again. At the very least, they aren't going to want to listen to Justice Wise Latina crying the cloakroom every day.

First of all, I don’t like it but the14th says:

quote:

"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."


That’s pretty clear and specific to this question.

Lots has happened since that decision the underlying facts are different.

Also Plessy and Roe were also long standing precedent.

I've researched this matter thoroughly, and have yet to find one that doesn't rely on "it was about free slaves" as the basis. That's an extremely weak foundation to base an argument against the clear text of the clause.

The right to education needs to be overturned. It's an interpretation were a right was born basically out of nothing. The constitution is supposed to keep the government off our backs not give us stuff including education.

WKA has been around for like 2.5x what Roe was.

Also Roe was based in a literal judicial creation, while this dispute has actual text, historical analysis, etc.

Lastly, in reversing Roe, the court late guidelines for when cases can be overruled, which boxes them in here a great deal. They would have to almost overrule that decision and create a whole new standard, a few years after Dobbs

This EO is needed to force this to the Supreme Court where they can clarify it. You may be right. But many constitutional law experts disagree with you.

Nothing has changed about the analysis of what subject to the jurisdiction means.

The fact that we now have a immigration system that declares some people illegal and some people not, has nothing to do with ambassadorships or hostile occupation of portions of our country, which are the only two examples made part of the analysis.

You can try to distinguish it away, show me how you fit and illegal alien into either of those boxes

But you specifically said "giving an in-depth originalist, textualist". The context of the 13th and 14th were freeing former slaves not protecting anchor baby factories.

Long standing precedent is a lot different than plain text in the Constitution.

Arguing this is like arguing that the "shall not be infringed" clause of the 2nd is subject to limitations even though Heller is precedent because you want to restrict certain guns.

Yes of what the crucial part of the amendment means.

The analysis of the case that goes into those details is what subject to the jurisdiction of means.

Literally irrelevant to the analysis
