Love this EO. Birthright citizenship is obsolete. Great to get rid of it.

Can't wait for the next DEM President to declare the 2nd Amendment "obsolete"...oh wait, that would be terrible.

I remember talking about this and so many people said I was so incredibly wrong, that you couldn't do this with an EO, but now that Trump came out with one, oh the tide has turned.

"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."

If the bolded part means what SFP is saying it means.....

then why does it have to be stated as such?

If it means what he says it means, then it could just say, "and are here today in the US" or it could be left out.

Why were those specific words used? Now, I get the SFP response. He will say WKA settled this back in 1898. And I would agree.

Which means that the USSC can reverse it easily. I wonder if they will point to the Civil Rights Act of 1866 which predates the 14th amendment by two years and was the template for the 14th amendment.
It uses the phrase, "all persons born in the United States, and not subject to any foreign power".

This is what was intended and what the dissenters in WKA noted as well.

SFP has history on his side. But it seems Trump is doing pretty good at overcoming history to make his mark.

I think this needs to happen. If the SC does indeed side with WKA, then Homan has his work cut out for him. These kids can indeed go back with their parents if they want to stay together.

To be honest. I don't think I have a real problem with that. It's only an issue if the border is wide open and no one gets deported.

But it does need to be clarified.

Nah. But maybe someone will bite. Then you can reel your fish in, and leave it to flop around on the dock, while you shout to the board "See! There it is! I told you so! That's why, despite my 140 IQ, I can't understand what lawfare is. But look at that fish flop!"

It's likely a 9-0 decision, but as we've discussed, there are pretexts that should be highlighted and explored.

Squat and drop should not make someone a citizen. My wife shows up on your doorstep and drops a kid, is it then part of your family and gets to stay in your house?

Because Indians were born in this country and they didn’t want them to be citizens.

But before Native Americans were made citizens they were made “subject to the jurisdiction,” based on SlowFloPro’s reading of subject to the jurisdiction. So either his reading (and Gray’s hackneyed attempt to right a wrong) is wrong or none of it makes sense.

You mean the Supreme Court's reading, which has been the undisputed law and interpretation for 130-ish years?

Read the case. It makes perfect sense if you just read for once.

There are 2 categories to which this applies, and the only one relevant now is diplomats.

Children of diplomats have never been considered citizens by birth within the borders of the host country.

Then children of diplomats would be US citizens.

They got it wrong. This isn’t hard.

Gray purposefully ignored the intent of the legislation to legislate from the bench. Judicial fiat.

And now we’re sacrificing the financial future of our country on Gray’s nonsense. None of which your libertarian self gives a shite about as long as you feel you’re winning an argument on the internet. Which is kind of a feature of sophistry.

It’s one thing to be pro constitution it’s another to think illegals have rights. They should never be having kids here or even entering …

Lol. No, it doesn’t. “Let’s interpret a phrase not found in common law as if it’s found in common law.”

“Hey Judge. Should we see what the people who wrote the phrase meant by it.”

“No way, buddy. We’ve got a Chinese guy to save. Now get to it.”
