By definition, reasoning is neither. It may or may not be based on textualism or originalism but in itself it's just an opinion.

Would be amazing if the wise Latina passed and her (Trump appointed) replacement ultimately gives DJT the votes to overturn.

Also, I would have to look, but this would probably set the record for oldest USSC precedent to be reversed, which would be historic (in the bad way)

When in our history do you think the greatest "abuse" of this was? It took democrats about 200 years to find a way to destroy the good intent of this law.

Digging around a bit on the passage of the 14th Amendment, it is clear that it was intended to exclusively address the rights of blacks and former slaves in the post Civil War era. There was no indication that birthright citizenship was intended to be given to anyone who simply snuck into the country and gave birth. That notion looks to be a text-only perversion of the intent of the 14th Amendment's passing.

If we actually prevented and stopped illegal immigration this wouldn’t even be an issue.

Which is why I think Thomas and Alito will dissent, but otherwise it will be a 7-2 SCOTUS decision. I expect that Roberts will write the majority decision, and the liberal wing will issue their own concurrence with a bunch of posturing and virtual signaling.

Clear violation of the 14th Amendment


Well, the guy who wrote the amendment said it was never meant to give citizenship to every baby squeezed out on our soil. I think he knows what is a violation of his own amendment more than you.

He should have written it in the amendment then I guess?

If you want precedent to mean absolutely nothing, then I hope you didn't celebrate the cases you considered victories because they're going to get reversed really easily the next time the court flips

Yeah this is going to be enjoined immediately and then that will be called "lawfare", even if it's ultimately the correct decision to protect our Constitutional rights.


When Democrats complain, I'll just say "But we started a conversation".

Did you not watch the Dems piss on SCOTUS the last 4 years?

They would wipe their arse with the Constitution of given the chance.

On another note, are you actually stating that precedent is set forever and cannot be challenged?

That is irrelevant to the discussion. Political puffery has nothing to do with destroying precedent.

I clearly did not state that. You should go read again.
