While I love common law. Love tradition. Loathe a constitutional convention I love common sense even more. See Ben Franklin.
Flopping over a fence pushing out a baby and declaring it a US citizen is ludicrous Slo. And I want no part in it. I believe our country will prove me right.

No they specifically dealt with citizenship.

False. Sir Wm Blackstone nor Sir Edward Coke ever mention the word in their vast writings on British Common Law. It’s all subjectship, which has a well defined meaning.

quote:

Our founders have nothing to do with the 14A. The 14A changed our Constitution from what the founders intended. That's what amendments do.

An ape-like description of what Amendments do. They add context and depth to the constitution, they don’t revise, correct, or contradict it. That job is reserved for left wing activists like you.

quote:

Leftists will give up birthright citizenship in 2 seconds in exchange for the Constitution becoming a living document and textualism dying.


No one is making this bargain. This interpretation is textual in the view of many scholars.

Besides, Leftists will always make the living document argument when it suits them. They will always make the textual argument when it suits them. Because their only consistency is hypocrisy.

I wonder if a change in definitional architecture changes the potential outcome

By way of argument, these are not the children of "illegals" a broad term too vague for appropriate analysis but, rather, some form of enemy combatant or invader or some other term.

If you rammed your way in and committed crimes and also had babies (mother or father) that is not the same as staying on an expired visa. Maybe give up on those and focus on children of people committing crimes

It's everything.

Other than the living document/rejecting textualism issue, the court will have to reverse the oldest precedent ever reversed, and likely create a whole new analysis for doing so (which is only a few years old in Dobbs). Effectively, opening the door for the next Leftist court to run roughshod everywhere.

They will have the combination of a living Constitution AND no adherence to precedent.

The clown simps for people he doesn’t even want in his neighborhood while trying to act superior to us on here who don’t want them here. He’s wasting his time arguing how this won’t be a thing which means it’s likely to be found legal to end birthright citizenship

That's exactly what the "living document" people love. Having "conversations" about contemporary societal issues and bemoaning the fact that it's hard to amend the Constitution, so we should have the Supreme Court legislate from the bench instead.



The entire debate isn't simply about contemporary societal issues, it's whether Wong Kim Ark is correct in its interpretation of the 14th Amendment. You're not a victim of dishonest arguments.

I think occasionally the Supreme Court is wrong. That fact doesn't make me a proponent of a living constitution.

Like I've said, this is the craziest political 180 of the MAGA movement. I never thought I'd see them argue for a living Constitution or reject Scalia.


You just saying shite doesn’t make it so. This is a straw man. Conservatives are NOT making a living document case on the 14th. We are interpreting the jurisdiction thereof qualifier to mean exactly what it says. Ju soli AND under the jurisdiction of the United States. A foreign nation is not guaranteed these protections.

He also though Roe was unlikely to be undone.

Not all all. The 14A specifically rejects quite a bit of what the Founders wanted.

This is patently false.

Tell me what effect the 3/5 Clause had after the Reconstruction amendments.

You're saying that they only "added context" when it wholly eliminated the clause from our Constitution.

quote:

No one is making this bargain.

Those presenting dubious arguments to overturn WKA due to society changing are doing just that.

quote:

This interpretation is textual in the view of many scholars.

Show me one of these "textual" analyses that doesn't involve relying on legislative intent.

He’s never right

I actually appreciate him arguing how it’s not gonna work because again it will likely go the opposite way.

And the reason for questioning WKA is due to contemporary societal issues and not actual legal arguments, which is why the arguments are so weak on that side of the aisle.

Can you cite why it's wrong in this context without relying on legislative intent or Congress creating a class of persons considered "illegal" after WKA?

EVERYTHING in the constitution is interpreted. Thats called the justice system.

That doesn’t beget the living document argument which implies contemporary “evolution” of the constitution. That isn’t happening here.

You are hurling false intent to support your verbal diarrhea and betting we are too dumb to notice.


We’ve noticed.

The question is how.

I'm defending textualism of Scalia, Thomas, Gorsuch, etc.

You are not.

You need to read the comments. That is exactly what's going on.

He’s awful. He’ll never fricking stop either. I usually dip once his arse is good and whipped, and let other posters keep him going all night. It’s usually good for some AM giggles over coffee.

Even if you find a thread just like this one where he plays this same game, he’ll deny it.

It’s his schtick
