    King Trump will never take my citizenship away. I was born in Little Rock Ak. My father was born in Williamstown KY, his father was born in Richmond VA and so on and so forth.

    I was appalled when SCOTUS took a mainstream understanding of 50 years tenure to the right to an abortion and canned it. But, how much more an affront it would be to take an understanding of our rights that had even broader consensus and for 3 times as long and just said "we've been wrong the whole time!" If that many people understood it that way for that long, it's the case, it is the interpretation. I know they can parse some legalese to say it's not really so, but they'd only indict themselves for putting their vision for what they want America to be over the legitimacy of the social contract we have preserved for generation upon generation.

    Ruling that people born on US soil to non-citizens are not citizens would destroy this country, and that's not hyperbole.

    Its literally spelled out unambiguously in the Constitution. Any judge who rules to appease Trump has to know they are violating the Constitution and should be disbarred. I refuse to believe that someone accomplished enough to get a gig on the Supreme Court wouldn't inherently and plainly understand that this is the case.

    That shouldn't be a particularly controversial position, but I'm sure it would make Trump and MAGA lose their mind. It's weaponized ignorance.

    This is in effect trying to get the Supreme Court to declare that the sky is orange, not blue, and I'm afraid that some of the more ideologically driven among them are going to do just that. Madness

    Basing your assumption of outcome on logic is now fallacy in the United States of America.

    Who gives two ****s if the rapidly shrinking MAGA base is incised by a ruling that birthright citizenship is constitutional. It's not like these crybaby snowflakes are ever ****ing happy. They gorge on hate/fear dopamine hits on social media daily while they have to take out loans to pay for basic needs. They'll rage in their echo chambers, jerk each other off then find something else to hate, like diet sodas causing gayness or some other insane bullshit.

    Should conservatives even be mad?

    You'd think if they cared about this, they could always try to amend the constitution to say whites only. Miss the old days of a functioning government.

    It should be a 9-0 decision.

    Should be.

    I wouldn't over-interpret this. He wanted to intimidate SCOTUS and 13 minutes in on the high side of his attention span, or even beyond.

    I do hope he learned something by listening to Cecilia Wang.

    This. And if his parents were birthright citizens, their parents would be under the microscope, and so on. We could be seeing deportation of entire family trees. Idiot.

    Any sane, logical person knows to assume that anything that Trump says is a lie, and to factcheck. His cult just buys whatever.

    One of four grandparents accounted. Pretty typical of MAGA to think a score of 25% is a passing grade.
