@ADioumaev @KurtSchlichter No, I don't realize that because that's not the case.

@jaytedder @KurtSchlichter You DO realize that your own misreading would mean that Marco Rubio and Barron Trump would now AUTOMATICALLY be stateless non-citizens, YOU YOURSELF would be pressed to prove parental citizenship... but naturalized citizens like myself would become 1st class, above natural borns?

You guys understand we’re going to lose the birthright citizenship case, right? Before you completely freak out, the traditional understanding of the 14th Amendment, which we are seeking to change, is not an insane reading of it. Nor are our arguments insane like the left has been same. That’s baloney to just shut us up. Neither side is frivolous. It’s a tough call legally and objectively speaking. But when we lose it, and I think we will, don’t freak out that this is some sort of conspiracy. It’s a hard legal decision. Sadly, we have three judges who aren’t even going to try to examine the question and will always vote for what leftists want. But the rest of the court has to make a tough legal call. I think our reading is the correct one. For various reasons, I think they’re going to rule against us. Don’t freak out when they do. It’s not an utterly irrational ruling like so many of the district court opinions we’ve seen.

@Brendan_Alter If a person can't be drafted into the military and can't participate in elections, are they under the jurisdiction of that country?

This is why knowing a bit of constitutional law history helps. It's been a legal question debated by both sides for a long time, and the answer is by no means as obvious as you might think it is.

@UrsulaMayhem @KurtSchlichter Name the Dems you think would go for this. That has to include governors and state legislatures to become an amendment. Name them, please.

@jaytedder @KurtSchlichter I think that this particular issue could get across the finish line if Trump were to signal to GOP that he won't punish them for compromising. That's a big ask from him, though, and why he prefers his executive orders so much. But I think most Americans would be amenable.

@UrsulaMayhem @KurtSchlichter I would love it if that was a likely solution, but there aren't more than 1 or 2 Dems that would go for that, if that many. They are diametrically opposed to ANYTHING Trump wants to do, no matter how rational and beneficial it might be.

@jaytedder @KurtSchlichter We need to stop looking to SCOTUS to force our views on our opponents when we're frustrated with the legislative process. Let's compromise and pass laws that address the concern. Hopefully some bipartisan leadership can emerge to do something right.

@jmt5050 @KurtSchlichter If they are not subject to be drafted into our military or eligible to vote in our elections, they are not under the jurisdiction of the US.

@jaytedder @KurtSchlichter People are typically subject to laws wherever they are. You know this. “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”

@vpathak @mrddmia @peterschweizer Can't keep them from getting pregnant, but they can't stay longer than 3 months without taking another test.

@jaytedder @mrddmia @peterschweizer How will you prevent them getting pregnant when they are here

It appears as though the Supreme Court is going to constitutionalize birthright citizenship for Chinese birth tourists. This means Chinese nationals have their babies in America, return to China with these new American citizens, vote in our elections, and receive our benefits.

@jmt5050 @KurtSchlichter It says people subject to the jurisdiction of the US. Foreigners are subject to the jurisdiction of their home country.

@jaytedder @KurtSchlichter It says what it says. If you don’t like how it’s applied in 2026, begin the work of amending it.

@tecnoc22 @Hammerdownhanna @KurtSchlichter Don't care. It will only affect me and my family positively.

@jaytedder @Hammerdownhanna @KurtSchlichter You’re going to give pregnancy tests to every woman who wants to enter the country? Sounds slow and expensive.

@patbahn @KurtSchlichter They've been coming over on planes.

@jaytedder @KurtSchlichter So 6 Month pregnant women are walking through Death Valley?

@Chris196883 @KurtSchlichter If a person here isn't eligible to be drafted into military service, they are not under US jurisdiction. The 14th amendment clearly says people under US jurisdiction.

@jaytedder @KurtSchlichter Be that as it may, it is possible for bad amendments to be passed. And, in so far as one wishes to take the high road, the lawful remedy is supposed to be to pass another amendment fixing it, not having the courts pretend the law says something other than what it does.

@tecnoc22 @Hammerdownhanna @KurtSchlichter Say what? A basic pregnancy test will tell you at around 6-8 weeks.

@jaytedder @Hammerdownhanna @KurtSchlichter Not enforceable, you won’t be able to tell in the first trimester, or often much of the second.

@Chris196883 @KurtSchlichter It wasn't as crazy as this bullsh!t.

@jaytedder @KurtSchlichter The 18th amendment was utter madness, but it passed.

@Hammerdownhanna @KurtSchlichter I would expand that to all trimesters. If you are pregnant at all, you don't get in. Can't take a chance.

@jaytedder @KurtSchlichter Honestly, you can't board a Disney cruise in your last trimester. Why can't we deny passports and visa in the same way?

@KurtSchlichter If you're right, I hope Trump issues an executive order mandating all foreigners visiting the US must take a pregnancy test before admission and anyone testing positive is denied admission. On national security grounds. Fuk this garbage.

@jaytedder It’s a rational reading of the text. I don’t have to like it and I don’t, but it is what it is.

Candace was right about EVERYTHING.

@CHSommers Heh, him and his buddy, Barak Hussain Obama lit this whole thing off. Until he comes out and admits they were wrong, he's doing nothing but trying to distract from his own culpability. And many undiscerning people will fall for it.

Yes. Please.

@dcexaminer Didn't he enter a not guilty plea? What would he need treatment for if he's not guilty?

Golf star Tiger Woods announced that he plans to “step away” from his sport to seek treatment after being charged with a DUI in Florida. trib.al/xWOtTwR

@Breaking911 Translation: It puts a major wrench in the Democrat machine's operation to manufacture election victories.
