When debating the 14th amendment a Senator said that section 1 was only for slaves.

I'll be shocked if they change this but these threads are always illustrative of the people who lack the capacity to distinguish between legal and illegal immigrants. Its not a complicated distinction yet approximately half the country seems unwilling or unable to understand it.

As of today, I'd be shocked if Gorsuch doesn't join them.

Media and everybody else in favor of birthright citizenship: "You cannot overturn this because of the total chaos the sudden change would cause."

And that reason will probably be accepted by SCOTUS. Too much hardship on illegal immigrants and their kids. Next on the docket.....

This makes, literally, no sense. Apply this "logic" to the 2A or even 1A

2A just tells the federal government to BTFO.

The 14th amendment does not force the executive branch to take jurisdiction.

No. They would have to overrule Wong Kim Ark (which ignored intent) and argue for the original intent.

...and yet they treated MaoCare legal as a tax. ...regardless of how it destroyed health care.

I think they are granting cert just to get people to STFU with the painfully stupid arguments against the consensus view of the 14th Amendment.

Birthright citizenship for illegal alins is BAD POLICY, but ONLY a policy-driven (rather than law-driven) analysis would see it overturned.

I found the dissent in Wong Kim Ark to be compelling and profoundly American.

There is really no reason to accept this case to only affirm the lower courts. They could do that by denying the writ application.

It takes 4 justices to agree to hear the case. However you will not get 4 justices to hear the case if they know they will lose. In other words there is a 5th justice that is willing to reverse the lower court.
Read the briefs that have been filed, I suggest the briefs from the congressman and the Tennessee brief. Both are very good.

It would complete his journey abandoning textualism that he started during Trump 1
It is really amazing.

A solid Textualist for 30 years, and now ...?

Which is mostly accurate.

For an Originalist, yes. For a Textualist, not so much.

Flipping from one to the other because you like the RESULT better? Intellectual dishonesty.

Why would Congress or the Executive get to take the role of the judiciary and define these terms?
