You’re conflating concepts. They do have authority over the naturalization process. They do not have the authority to change the text or meaning of the 14th amendment.

Policy wise sure.

Not when discussing the legal case. It’s a political question that the courts won’t touch

A socialist bill passed by passed by a Democrat-controlled House and Democrat-controlled Senate? Color me shocked.

Wouldn't a conservative Republican president have just vetoed that shite?


Ok, I wasn't following that discussion, and if I'm out of context, I apologize. Just let me know.

But in the quoted example, if said Congress passed said measure by a 2/3rds majority, the Congress could override said President's veto.
This is part of where "lame duck" comes from.

There is, at best, a mildly tenable legal argument against automatic birthright citizenship based on a narrow interpretation of "jurisdiction.”

However the prevailing legal interpretation and practice since the 1890s support the understanding that the Constitution does guarantee birthright citizenship.

Any change would likely require either a *significant* reinterpretation by the courts or a constitutional amendment.

Yes. We all know lawyers jerk off discussing this stuff. Other people have to actually make the country go.

But I was asking if Congress had plenary power. Not the difference between natiralization and birthright citizenship.

They have the power outside of Constitutional limitations, like all Congressional powers.

You can try to force this conflation using "plenary" as some gotcha and continue to ignore reality all you want. It's been explained to you a dozen times at this point.

You not understanding is a you issue. This isn't even complicated.

No, as that is specifically a Constitutional issue and their power has been clearly demarked.

You're just trying to argue that demarcation never occurred, by making silly arguments ignoring how the Constitution and Congressional power interact.

I was simply pointing out that Slo's legal analysis was that Congress has absolute power that is limited.

They have the power past the Constitutional limits.

Congress cannot override the Constitution. This is basic civics.

The purpose of the EO is to provide the spark that lights the fire.

But why drop in with the ankle-biting? That’s STDTiger territory. You don’t ever want to be like that guy.

Clearly. But it will take this iteration of SCOTUS to do some significant abrogating to get there.

I'm not even sure SCOTUS would take up the case. Which justice has the circuit assignment here?

Washington is in the 9th Circuit, which is Associate Justice Elena Kagan.
Yeah... I had to look it up, lol.
