How do you reconcile the SCOTUS excluding Indians in the 14th and nobody challenging the Indian Citizenship Act??


There’s a pretty lengthy line of court cases about the pesky issues with taking their land without compensation, which was a lot easier when they’re not considered citizens.

Most of the decisions are now just explained away as “judicial necessity” because of the epically flawed opinions.

This was basically going to be what I was going to say.
You summed it up better, though.


But, there's more to the Ark case than I've seen discussed here, so I apologize if already posted. In the decision, Ark was a citizen since birth based on "a child born in the United States, of parents of Chinese descent, who, at the time of his birth, are subjects of the Emperor of China, but have a permanent domicil and residence in the United States, and are there carrying on business, and are not employed in any diplomatic or official capacity under the Emperor of China, becomes at the time of his birth a citizen of the United States."

A Mexican national that crosses the border to have an anchor baby isn't the same as the Ark family, and should be excluded.

Indians didn't become citizens under the 14th Amendment. The SCOTUS excluded them, but included Chinese born here. Go figure.

Indians weren't made citizens until 1924. Coolidge signed the Indian Citizen Act. Why wasn't the decision of the 14th Amemdment challenged then? How do you reconcile the SCOTUS excluding Indians in the 14th and nobody challenging the Indian Citizenship Act??
During the Senate debate on the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment, Senator James Doolittle (WI) proposed an amendment to deal with Indians. Specifically, he proposed inserting the words "excluding Indians not taxed" after the word ''thereof'.' :
quote:

All persons born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof excluding Indians not taxed, are citizens of the United States and of the States.
The sponsor of the Citizenship Clause, Senator Jacob Howard (MI) immediately torpedoed Senator Doolittle's suggestion:
quote:

I hope that amendment to the amendment will not be adopted. Indians born within the limits of the United States, and who maintain their tribal relations, are not, in the sense of this amendment, born subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. They are regarded, and always have been in our legislation and jurisprudence, as being quasi foreign nations.
Senator Lyman Trumball (IN) echoed Senator Howard's analysis.
quote:

Can you sue a Navajoe Indian in court? Are they in any sense subject to the complete jurisdiction of the United States? By no means. We make treaties with them, and therefore they are not subject to our jurisdiction. If they were, we would not make treaties with them. If we want to control the Navajoes, or any other Indians of which the Senator from Wisconsin has spoken, how do we do it? Do we pass a law to control them? Are they subject to our jurisdiction in that sense·? Is it not understood that if we want to make arrangements with the Indians to whom he refers we do it by means of a treaty? The Senator himself has brought before us a great many treaties this session in order to get control of those people.
In short, the Citizenship Clause treats Indians as sui generis persons. The vast majority of them lived on reservations with their tribe and the reservations were treated as sovereign nations or in the words of Senator Howard "quasi foreign nations."

Someone should’ve told him he was ruling on Muslim terrorists getting reduced sentences. He would’ve been excited to uphold it.

Our legal system has been corrupted by decades of attack by critical studies.

What happened first? The Indians getting prosecuted under American courts or getting citizenship?

FDR was a fricking communist sympathizer. No wonder he was a tyrant.

He was a shite eater too. His symptoms didn't start until he was 39. Polio is passed through the fecal-oral route. I don't mean to hypothesize, but he more than likely contracted it performing fellatio on the member
of someone who had previously been exposed to polio during anal sex.

Yeah. This is still the case. If you commit a crime on a reservation, it isn't the sheriff of the county that's going to arrest you.

Good luck to those kids who will be left here alone when their parents are deported. At least they'll be raised by functional human beings.

Ignore the judge.
It's time for a citizenship audit of the entire country.

Okay, what about the 7 Republicans in the top ten for EOs? Tyrants?

Or are presidents only tyrants when they issue EOs that you don't agree with?

First, the underlined facts are irrelevant to the Court's analysis. At no point in the Court's analysis do they rely on those facts to arrive at their decision. That ends the discussion.

Second, the vast majority of Latino immigrant parents of "anchor babies" "have a permanent domicile and residence in the United States, and are there carrying on business, and are not employed in any diplomatic or official capacity under" any government. You may have a point concerning "anchor baby" hotel residents; the same cannot be said of the vast majority of "anchor baby" parents. And in any event, again, the underlined facts are not relevant to the Court's analysis.

Not all executive orders are equal.

“Today is National Tree Day” is not the same as “Chicks with Dicks Get to Use the Lady’s Room.”

Said Shumate, “It absolutely is.”



Prior to the 14th Amendment, state courts determined citizenship based on the prevailing laws of the state.

They did use Federal guidelines to process "naturalization.

I.E. States like Louisiana still used the French system to determine if a person was born into slavery. The paternal linkage was in play.

States like Virginia still used the British system which was based on maternal linkage.

As Howard pointed out, the 14th A. was never intended to usurp the government process of determining who was a legitimate offspring of those immigrants who had not yet submitted a request for citizenship.

I would bet on Trump's team as they have already done extensive research on this issue.
