Education or the lack thereof is not just in school, but how we apply what we learn by combining the common sense of knowing what rights we lose daily from the republican return to supremacist mythology and the tyranny of lawless leaders, making gangsters like trump respectable to republican conservatives without shame or part of a fear based hierarchy. The basic tools of knowing the progress from the 1700's foundation of democracy, when only white property owning white men could vote, to the 2025 regression moving social change to original wrongs as if ignorance of the pride from the civil rights movement and trends toward real gender and race equality were never known is painful. Sadness and shame is the American state of mind for those who know most trump supporters do not or can not think critically. Hanna Arndt called it the ability to stop thinking, and that's what people around Hitler did to function.
Will this Nation of Sheep wake up or has the Docility of viewing tick-tock and Instadumb ((With a smile) lead us into the philosophical clutches of The John Birch Society?
Nicely written. I particularly was impressed by the use of "yank" and "Confederate" in the same sentence, referring subliminally to the Civil War, raising the engagement level in the subhead. The reference was borne out later in the text.
This is far from over. What's ironic is that the Government did not argued in court that its anti-citizenship actions are legal and not in violation of the 14th. There will probably be plenty of "Kavanaugh filings" on this very issue and soon, though not from the current crop of plaintiffs who seem to have won their cases in the lower courts whose rulings giving relief to those them were not stayed or overturned.
Also, the Court put the burden on lower courts to ensure injunctions were of proper scope to grant equitable relief and also to judge on the issues brought by States. Already several new cases have been filed by pro-citizenship groups.
Okay, so the Supreme Court is now making up law out of pure vacuum. Not the first time, but certainly the most egregious. The Fourteenth Amendment is crystal clear; no law degree needed to understand what it says. The Court has no more power to reinterpret the Fourteenth Amendment than the President or the congress has. Only through a new amendment can it be changed. If these justices don’t understand that, then they have no legitimacy. None. We are no longer bound to pay any attention to what they say, though we might need to fight a second civil war to assert our rights again. Thomas Jefferson, of all people, referred to the occasional need for this in his Declaration, and it seems he might have been right.
and what the hell did he say to them? Could not have been anything more comprehensible than, ‘asfh wms ugh safdd stars snortbleh.’ And they gaze at him with adoration…
Numerous legal experts have refuted the sort of claims made here. First, Trump's birthright citizenship EO is blatantly unconstitutional and the Supreme Court will rule against it when the matter comes before them. Second, there are other avenues for universal relief than universal injunctions, such as class actions, one of which has already been filed in the matter. Also, the recent ruling doesn't entirely ban universal injunctions.
I would also like to point out that universal injunctions first started to occur in the 1960s, so they have not been around "forever." And they only started to see more use during Obama's term as president.
It is Not Chaotic or a Nightmare to Anyone who Understands what the 14th Amendment Actually Says. Finally incapacitated Biden is out, and with Trump we can get back to Following the Constitution and Law and Order. Which the democrats didn't give a hoot about because they are Corrupt.
What the 14th Amendment actually says (among many things) is “All persons born … in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States …” Do you understand?
He better get ready to deport Melanoma and Barron!!! Those should be the first to go!!!!
The United States of America is now an oxymoron.

I think they're deaf and blind!! I'm so ashamed of Mark Wayne Mullins and he doesn't represent all the people just his rich donors!!

You are a national treasure and everything you write--no matter how devastating--is pure gold. Thank you for your courage!!

This is INSANE!
TRUMP WANTS TO BE KING! NO! NO! & MORE NO!
THERE ARE NO KIGS IN AMERICA!
How chilling is this.
How absolutely Fellini-esque.

I’m curious, Juliet & Benjamin, both born in Haiti, adopted by Amy Barrett, are they citizens?
If they are citizens, how long did their naturalization take?
Or are they illegals, they certainly don’t have birth right citizenship!
Perhaps ICE & DHS, should take a closer look at the paper work to make sure it’s all on the legal side! And if not follow the LAW and deport them!
Also shouldn’t they question Aileen Canon after all she was born in Cali, Columbia. Isn’t Columbia a hub for cocaine trafficking?

You got that wrong, but I’m not gonna argue with you!
I copied it verbatim from the Constitution. Look it up.
