The only time birthright citizenship was questioned was during slavery…And now.

Correct but we both know the Supreme court won't unanimously over turn Tweetolini's Executive Order nullifying birthright citizenship. At least 2 will vote to overturn birthright citizenship.

"Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside"

The definition of unambiguous.

And so if the Trump argues against birthright citizenship for unfocumented immigrants he is saying they are not subject to US law. So they cant be arrested or deported.

Randy Barnett has been an intellectual prostitute for Republican crazy ideas for decades.

I'm waiting for the 'textualists' on the SC to weigh in in favor of this batsh*t opinion.
