A 🧵 explaining why the majority’s use of history in Wilcox is deeply flawed. It carves out an exception for the Fed, based on the argument that the Fed is a “uniquely structured, quasi-private entity that follows in the historical tradition of the First and Second Banks.”

The law professors who are arguing against birthright citizenship in the US are reinventing a common law decision from 1677 about allegiance and aliens that was pivotal for creating a common law of slavery in England’s empire. — a logic recreated in Dred Scot. — rejected by 14th amendment.

Sauer keeps saying the amendment was suppose to apply to "former slaves" but the actual text of the 14th amendment is "all persons born or naturalized in the united sates," i thought conservatives were big text guys

one of the many infuriating things about this is that if the authors of the amendment wanted it to apply exclusively to the formerly enslaved they had the capacity to do so! they would have written it that way! they didn't!

Scores of lawsuits paint a picture of a president threatening to become exactly what the framers feared: an all-powerful executive who acts more like a king than a democratic leader.

The way we were treated at Delaney Hall is almost unbelievable. ICE shoved me, manhandled @repbonnie.bsky.social, and arrested Mayor Baraka. They disrespected us and tried to stop us from conducting the oversight we’re elected to do. But we’ll never back down in our fight for what is right.

This is another unconstitutional notion. Only Congress can suspend habeas corpus and only during rebellion or invasion. As a Trump-appointed judge recently found, the U.S. isn't under invasion.

A federal court ruled Justice Allison Riggs won her election to the NC Sup Ct b/c she got the most votes & you can't "change the rules of the game after it had been played." A state court previously tossed many votes, incl overseas votes of members of our client @usvotefoundation.bsky.social.
