    Birthright citizenship in the United States says that almost anyone born on US soil is automatically a US citizen, thanks to the 14th amendment to the constitution.
    Some people say that this makes no sense because a baby born in someone else’s home does not automatically make him part of that family.
    that’s the wrong argument. Let’s fact check it.

  2. > Evelyn Cruz, a professor and director of the immigration clinic at Arizona State University’s law school, told us via email that Kavanaugh’s suggestion that Congress could amend who is eligible for birthright citizenship “stands on thin ice.”

    But there may be political gain to such an effort, she said.

    “Whether Justice Kavanaugh’s suggestion is legally sound or not, the fact that he has opened the door to a potential way for Congress to delineate access to birthright citizenship, even if the legislation is later ruled unconstitutional, leaves the birthright citizenship issue viable for political purposes,” despite the court’s unequivocal decision, Cruz said.

  4. “The written Constitution is for the public. It is a feint, designed to distract the unserious from the much more important Constitution that exists exclusively as ideological vapor circulating around conservative legal thought.”

  6. A baby born this morning to parents without papers is an American. 6–3, the Court said the 14th Amendment means what it's meant since 1868

  8. A president cannot edit the Constitution with a Sharpie. The soil does not check your parents' visas before it decides you belong to it.
    When did a court last surprise you by holding a line you'd braced to lose?

  10. Somewhere in this country a baby was born this morning to parents without papers. And that baby is an American.
    Six justices, 6–3, said the 14th Amendment means what it has meant since 1868: born here, subject to our laws, one of us. Trump signed it away his first afternoon back. The Court handed it back today.

  12. Sarah Smith, on #BBCNews as seen via U.S. PBS, opined that only another Amendment could overturn the #14thAmendment re: #birthright citizenship, apparently didn't pick up on the loophole the 14th Amendment provided for those Justices which opined that Congress indeed had a work-around for that. The loophole is where it mentioned "subject to the jurisdictions thereof", which puts any given jurisdiction as superior to the birthright that the Amendment granted. Stephanie...didn't catch the rest of her titles...Georgetown? ...the subsequent expert...didn't spend enough time addressing this loophole, either.

  14. :: suffering effects of massive stress hormones level going a bit down::

    My family might still be able to live in the country I did not choose, but embraced and *served*. My children won't have to be displaced from the only homeland they have ever known.

    One down.

    Now, onto the the rest of the attempted christofascist ethnonaZionalist take over of America.

    Keep. Pushing. Never. Give. Up.

    Punch a nazi.

  20. Three racist SCOTUS judges (Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch) ignore what's written in black and white in the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

    Just as bad, a fourth (Kavanaugh) opines that Congress could simply pass a law that US-born children of non-citizens would not be citizens!

    #SCOTUS upholds #BirthrightCitizenship, rejecting #Trump proposed limits

    SCOTUS Tuesday upheld a broad conception of birthright citizenship, rejecting Trump’s EO declaring #children born to parents in the #US illegally or temporarily are not US #citizens. The decision, in line with the longstanding judicial interpretation of the #14thAmendment, comes on the final day of a SCOTUS term that has centered on Trump’s expansive claims of #PresidentialPower.

  24. If Elon Musk is so concerned about Two Tier Policing maybe he should look at how some people are given Due Process, as enshrined in the 14th Amendment, and some are not.
