@Smittytheclownn @JonahDispatch And what about switch blades? How’s that not protected under the second amendment?

@JonahDispatch Agree, but I wish the hypocrisy as it relates to the 2nd amendment would be called out. How are we able to ban things like cannons and machine guns because the founders didn’t envision them, but not ban foreigners flying here to give birth. No way, they envisioned that either.

My warm take on birthright citizenship: Wholly defensible to be against it as policy and wholly reasonable to want to reform it in some way. Also intellectually defensible to say that the 14th amendment is being misinterpreted. Doesn't mean I agree, but I don't think it's crazy either. But even if you win that argument, you still need to deal with century+ of precedent and statutory language that codifies it and has created massive reliance interests. I consider it an open question whether Congress can repeal or modify birthright citizenship. I think it is absolutely nuts and dangerous to think a president can repeal it through executive order, and defending the E.O. because you agree with the underlying policy is itself indefensible. That's it. That's my take.

@RPGuy16 @JonahDispatch And if the meaning of the 14th is clear, how do you feel about a pres trying to change that meaning by eo when every decent American knows that the constitution can only be changed by amendment? In my view, it is such an unconstitutional act that cries out for impeachment.

@JonahDispatch I don’t think there’s any reasonable argument that the 14th amendment is being misinterpreted, and I’m against unlimited birthright citizenship. Let’s leave twisted constitutional interpretations to the leftists.

@martytantum @JonahDispatch @charlescwcooke This is correct, and it’s something that every high school student in the US should know. And for a president to try and change this process embedded deeply into the fabric of the country by executive order is an affront to the constitution and is impeachable.

@JonahDispatch @charlescwcooke Feels like you need an amendment to modify birthright citizenship. Hard to do, but that’s the process.

@RilsRislan @JonahDispatch Go to law school and then talk to me about this. Congress cannot change the clear meaning of the constitution by legislation.

@AusFfm4 @JonahDispatch "Section 5. The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article."

@theindividuali7 @JonahDispatch @charlescwcooke The EO is illegal, nuts, unconstitutional, and dangerous. Once Congress flips in November, he should be impeached for it.

@JonahDispatch @charlescwcooke Which is why the EO applies only prospectively, precisely because of those reliance interests. That’s neither “nuts” nor “dangerous.”

@RilsRislan @JonahDispatch Congress cannot legislate the meaning of the constitution. Learn civics.

@JonahDispatch I think at its simplest, congress may be able to statutorily define "subject to the jurisdiction therein" to mean "lawfully residing in the country", then the court can decide whether such a thing would violate the intent of the amendment.

@SaintVanHalen @JonahDispatch But that’s not how you change the constitution.

@JonahDispatch You could argue the EO itself was meant to get it to court.

@JonahDispatch You are wrong. The history, traditional and suicidal interpretation, and the very language of the 14th amendment are crystal clear and indisputable. If you want to change it, you have to amend the constitution. To think otherwise is inAmerican. Trump‘s EO is impeachable.

@nicksortor So write your congressman or governor and ask them to start the process for amending the constitution. Good luck.

🚨 BREAKING: Following his attendance at Supreme Court Oral Arguments this morning, President Trump is BLASTING birthright citizenship “We are the only Country in the World STUPID enough to allow ‘Birthright’ Citizenship!” Damn right. END IT!

@RepDonBacon So I guess you’re an expert on losing wars in the Middle East.

TBT: Christmas 2007 in Baghdad.

@big1042245 @NoahCRothman @jimgeraghty That’s why I’m here.

@AusFfm4 @NoahCRothman @jimgeraghty Quit true. His ridiculous arrogance while he delivers hypocritical bullshit is at least a bit entertaining.

I’m standing in for @jimgeraghty in today’s Morning Jolt: Trump shocks the press by failing to declare victory and retreat, savage NATO, or even wholly wash his hands of the Hormuz crisis. nationalreview.com/the-morning-jo…

@marklevinshow No, but we are losing a war to a second rate military power.

Are we losing our biggest city forever to the pro-terrorist Islamist activists?

@GorallNathan @NoahCRothman @jimgeraghty You seem to forget that Noah is entirely substance free. He’s trying to make a career out of gargling Trump’s balls anonymously. And it won’t work. Not withstanding his protest to the contrary, he is a Trumper. And no one will forget it.

@NoahCRothman @jimgeraghty What happened to you man? Shocked the press? Now do the markets. He whisked them too.

@big1042245 @NoahCRothman @jimgeraghty Noah has to be a hypocrite. His career depends on it.

@NoahCRothman @jimgeraghty That you're not shocked by how out of it Trump sounds = you being a hypocrite, again. That speech was a ridiculous mess delivered by a dementia patient.

@mrddmia I’m going to seek your disbarment.

Serious question: At what point do we just tell activist judges to fuck off?

@KeithGross @ants21597 @POTUS English cannot possibly be your first language.

@ants21597 @POTUS The constitution already omits people not subject to the jurisdiction of the US (meaning people lawfully present).

As everyone is focused on the SCOTUS hearing on @POTUS Executive Order ending Birthright Citizenship, I can’t help but wonder: Why hasn’t Congress passed a LAW ending birthright citizenship? We have a majority.

@KeithGross @bttr90809591 @klgrube @POTUS @LeaderJohnThune @realDonaldTrump Do you know how the constitution works?

@bttr90809591 @klgrube @POTUS Starting to feel that way. All @LeaderJohnThune needs to do is gavel out and let @realDonaldTrump have recess appointments but he is blocking our own President.

@EliseStefanik OK. What are you gonna do now that your career is over?

President Trump’s address correctly laid out the importance of Operation Epic Fury to protect our national security and eliminate the ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons capability of Iran. The evil regime of Iran is the largest state sponsor of terror in the world with blood of Americans on their hands. The President was correct in highlighting American energy dominance and encouraging our allies to purchase American energy while also stepping up to help secure the Strait of Hormuz. In order to protect American economic security and energy security today and for future generations, we must protect our national security.

@NoahCRothman Holy crap do you ever need an editor. He started a war that he is now losing, and now he’s walking away from it. He is humiliating himself and the United States. He has made us weaker and poorer. Go get yourself a copy of strunk and white.

Trump is correct to presume that Iran’s “toll booth” strategy is unsustainable and will collapse quickly (for a variety of reasons). But as today’s flurry of statements indicates, failing to prove the concept that relatively free navigation had been restored to the strait would set precedents we’d soon come to regret as well as foreclose on any claim to have secured an unambiguous victory. nationalreview.com/the-morning-jo…

@BrentMurph1776 @officer_Lew So you advocate for the overthrow of the government sucking at its teat. Got it

@AusFfm4 @officer_Lew traitor? 😭 I served this country for 8 years. 2 deployments You online tough guys have no real opinion until you’re given one to speak on. Did you ask permission from your wife to speak?

BREAKING🚨: Video footage emerging from the No Kings protest in Honolulu appears to show tourists attacking a man in ICE uniform, beating him unconscious and continuing to punch and kick him on the ground.
