For everyone saying that SCOTUS can’t constitutionally end birthright citizenship… look, they’re not going to come outright and say “we overrule the 14th amendment of the United States.”
They’ll to do it the way they’ve overruled our other rights: by chipping away at it until nothing’s left.

If you really think they won’t do it, that’s lovely for you.
There is no bridge too far for this SCOTUS majority.
They DGAF
"Look, we can't very well deport the undocumented parents and not deport their babies with them. But we can't deport citizen babies, so obv the babies aren't citizens."
But by hook or by crook, I'm sure.
My question is, where is the limit? The one generation? Five? Donald's gonna have to deport half his family at this rate.
That’s what they’ll do, and if anyone protests, they’ll try to shut you up by saying “ARE YOU DEFENDING THIS RAPIST? SO MUCH FOR CARING ABOUT WOMEN.”

the route through ending birthright citizenship will be that the parents of the "Chinese Boy" were legal immigrants...
and therefore the court did not consider the case of a child born on US soil to illegal immigrants.
Then after that, it will be legal immigrants with shorter term visas.
2) hierarchy of constitution says white dudes rule all
Etc.
We didn't think Roe was going to be overturned (the SC justices said it was settled law) until it was. All they need to do is work backwards from their desired conclusion and twist themselves into a pretzel until they "justify" their ruling.
Oh well…
First time - it's too soon to the election to confirm an SC justice!
Second time - coming through, get out of the way!!!
They will just break the law.
They just have to say nobody has standing.
Is a child harmed by not getting us citizenship? Are their parents harmed?
That'll be harder with Dems having basically no power in DC, but I've got faith. You can do it.
Jesus Christ, you people. What the hell do you even think representative democracy even is?
What is with you people who are like "what do you want the to do?" Maybe their jobs? That's the purpose of electing them. smh
And hearings don't happen if the majority doesn't want them to.
What, exactly, do you expect of the people you elect? For them to ask you "ok, now educate me on the intricacies of our legislative branch"?
Make Biden #DeclassifyTrump, so we can force the Congress to #ImpeachTrumpNow.

Because search and seizure rules are in the 4th amendment, and, well. Here we are.
I can already write the finger-wagging, hand-wringing, head-shaking holding. You see, it's all about free will. The undocumented parents CHOSE to avoid the legal process created by Congress. They CHOSE not to submit to the jurisdiction of the US when they came here. And we must honor their CHOICE.
I dunno why the birthright clause would be the exception.
James Ho (5th District Court of Appeal), wants to be Trump's next appointment to SCOTUS. ("I have always defended birthright citizenship, BUT .....")
