Big case and consequential.
Helping one person may not change the world, but it could change the world for one person.

Probably the solution will end up being ending it but giving amnesty by way of an easy path to citizenship to those already here under those circumstances if they qualify.

That's nice of you to say in 2026

Democrats knew what they were doing (cheating). Here's proof, not that you'll care

Senator Jacob Howard, responsible for the 14th amendment:

I would argue keeping them enslaved for 250 years effectively leads to the same outcome.

It's a little like saying that because someone didn't make the illegal porn or fentanyl that they get a pass for buying and consuming it.

I care, kinda. The basic point was we got to where we are as consequence of our past behavior, which wasn't that great.

And all Senator Jacob Howard had to do was be more fookin' specific with the actual language of the amendment and things could have turned out a little different. It's hilarious that he goes on to queef about how it will remove all doubt as to what persons are or are not citizens when here we are examining it again.

I don't think the US is capable of making such a drastic change at this point, and if they try, guaranteed the government will fuck it up far worse than we can even imagine.

4 Things To Know About SCOTUS Case That Could End Birthright Citizenship
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/4-things-know-about-scotus-case-could-end-birthright-citizenship


This is what will happen:


Kagan, Sotomayer, Jackson, Roberts, Barrett and Gorsuch strike Trump down


Dissenters will be Thomas, Alito, and Kavanaugh


Gorsuch could go with the dissenters, but it won't matter. Roberts and Barrett are for sure going with the liberals.

Trump will loose this- but it's because he's using an EO

The question will be is the Supreme Court going to acknowledge that Congress can actually do this and the 14th application isn't what people think it is.

If the Supreme Court goes that way in - then the ball is in Congresses court (right now Congress perceives it isn't)


I think it will 5-4 or 6-3

Trump loosing his eo is almost a certain- but the congressional ability for this is what's crucial for the case- and while bringing it, this way was important.

This will make a congressional move plausible- where right now it's impossible.


The Supreme Court could also just flat out strike it down because it's an EO over congressional statute and not even mention anything about the 14th.

No, that had nothing to do with the birthright - that had to do with alien enemies act- all that is still pending

There is a world where the conservatives reject Trumps EO- but leave the path open for congress - without an amendment - which could end up with the liberals dissenting.

Which is frankly the main objective strategical for this case- acknowledgment it can be done without an amendment.

Congress never would have done this solo-

He will lose it because the 14th amendment is absolutely unequivocal in its wording.

Some that wording is exactly why birthright citizenship isn't a thing.

Interpretation of the 14th is exactly what this will be about the not if Trump's EO can stand (my prediction)

Quick question- why don't diplomat kids born here get US citizenship?

The GOP could have 75 senators and 350 house members...and if only they voted, they still wouldn't pass it.

No, I think it's a long shot to near impossible but I think it would be great to clarify what the law actually is and what the amendment actually applies to.


At a minimum they can create real conversation and good campaign material

The SC intentionally chooses not to clarify anything though. They punt to congress to do the job they are supposed to do and I don't see that this case was needed to enable congress to act at any time. Like the exclusion for diplomats you pointed to, congress already has the authority to interpret the 14th and revise the law. If congress acted we could then get actual clarity of the law and what the amendment actually applies to, because it was done the right way, instead of with the ineffectual and gay EO stuff.

The underlying reality seems to be that no one but Trump wanted this.
