BREAKING: Trump’s birthright citizenship scheme implodes after lawyer’s JAW-DROPPING courtroom blunder about Native Americans.
Donald Trump sent his top lawyer to the Supreme Court to argue that birthright citizenship should be stripped from hundreds of thousands of American-born babies. It went so badly that his own solicitor general nearly argued Native Americans aren't citizens either — and had to be rescued by a Trump-appointed justice.
In one of the most jaw-dropping exchanges of Wednesday's already disastrous hearing, Justice Neil Gorsuch — appointed by Trump himself — pressed Solicitor General D. John Sauer on the logical consequences of the administration's own legal theory. The exchange was as stunning as it was revealing.
Gorsuch asked a simple question: under the administration's proposed test for birthright citizenship, are Native Americans born today automatically citizens?
Sauer's answer was a slow-motion legal train wreck. First, he said yes — obviously. Then Gorsuch pushed him to set aside the statutes granting Native Americans citizenship and answer based purely on the administration's own constitutional theory. Sauer's answer changed: "No." Under the 1868 congressional debates, he explained, children of tribal Indians were not considered birthright citizens.
The courtroom went quiet.
Gorsuch pressed harder. But under your test — the domicile test you want this court to adopt today — are tribal Native Americans born on U.S. soil birthright citizens?
Sauer fumbled. "I think so... I have to think that through, but that's my reaction."
"I'll take the yes," Gorsuch replied — essentially throwing the solicitor general a life preserver before he could drown any further.
Let's be absolutely clear about what just happened. The Trump administration walked into the highest court in the land with a legal theory so sweeping, so poorly thought through, that when a justice applied it logically, the government's own lawyer couldn't guarantee that Native Americans — people whose nations existed on this continent thousands of years before the United States did — would qualify as birthright citizens.
This is the constitutional chaos that Trump's executive order invites. Once you start unraveling the 14th Amendment's guarantee that all persons born on American soil are citizens, there is no clean stopping point. The administration's own lawyer proved that in real time, in front of the entire nation, while Trump was still in the building — before he turned tail and fled.
The 14th Amendment was written to be clear precisely because America had already lived through the horror of deciding that some people born here weren't really citizens. The Supreme Court has upheld birthright citizenship for 157 years.
And Trump's lawyer just demonstrated, in spectacular fashion, exactly why those 157 years of precedent exist.
Please like and share this post if you believe the Constitution means what it says — for everyone born on American soil.

@dan_brewer42569 @OccupyDemocrats I didn't say social security, did I? Why is it y'all can't read?

@Doublemindedman @OccupyDemocrats You have missed the fact that social security is based on your contributions to the fund. If you do not put any money in you cannot get any money out.

@Doublemindedman @OccupyDemocrats I have to go back to the “smart people hate me” line because, clearly you are a trump supporter if you don’t know that one does not get social security retirement benefits without paying for it through years of work — in the US.

@CeilingFly @OccupyDemocrats I didn't say social security, did I?

@Doublemindedman @OccupyDemocrats No. You have to pay for many years to be eligible for social security. The ignorance here is stunning. In fact the SS system depends on temp workers who pay into it but will never collect. Afraid you won't get something?

You know they do that because SCOTUS said Obamacare was not a tax but also a tax and that DACA was legal by EO but not rescindable and they saw Obergefell and Bostock and also how little Masterpiece Cake Shop did to stop Colorado's tyranny? And then they lived through 4 years of Biden creating de facto permanent legal status for millions of migrants while also letting anyone else in anywhere for the sheer lols? You understand this, right? SCOTUS said you can't discriminate on the basis of race against Whites and Asians and all the Democrats immediately said we are most definitely going to keep doing that, and no legal conservative said that was wrong. And SCOTUS said Biden could not forgive student loans and Biden immediately held a press conference saying here are some more ways we will illegally "forgive" student loans. And oh, by the way, the people very clearly voted in favor of Prop 187 and Prop 8 and yet the courts were like, Haha Elections Don't Matter. And the people very clearly voted for Trump and yet the Star Wars judges said you still need unanimous permission from the judiciary to do anything unless it's creating mass entropy.
Rule of law keeps going one way and one way only. So that is why they are the way they are.
Legal Phil@Legal_Fil
A significant proportion of the people who poo-poo the rule of law are under the delusion that they would fare well in its absence.

It's easier to steal small elections. Even in relatively big cities the amount of votes needed is quite small. The San Antonio mayor won by about 6,000 votes. And Project Veritas caught a woman collecting votes and she claimed that A) she could get 6,000 votes and B) she wasn't the only one doing that work in the area.
And so you win these local elections and you enact your liberal policies on large numbers of people. Cash bail, criminal release policies, sanctuary city, no arrests under $950 in theft, homelessness, drugs, etc etc. And you can also use that power to prevent investigations into voter fraud to protect yourself and others.

If you were wondering what “trust the process” looks like, here you go:
A man was just sentenced to three years after 41 sealed, COMPLETED mail-in ballots were found sitting in his home. Just another example of something that “never happens”… happening.
Oh, and it gets even better… he was a city councilman.

@RyanSaavedra I always went and found my own lending. Never felt any pressure from zillow to use a particular lender
English
Yoram (Jerry) Wind, Lauder Professor Emeritus and a professor of marketing at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, slams Zillow in an op-ed published in The Washington Times:
"The Trump administration recently took another step toward addressing housing affordability. But a different problem remains: Digital platforms Americans use to navigate the homebuying process are not the neutral guides they appear to be. Some are designed to exploit consumers — and the evidence is now overwhelming.
A just-released consumer investigation highlights the need for government oversight and intervention.
A 2024 Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia study documented a gap of 54 basis points between the best and worst mortgage rates for identical loans — equivalent to some $6,500 in upfront costs.
Platforms that steer consumers toward particular lenders — rather than encouraging comparison shopping — lock in these losses at scale.
These practices exacerbate the high mortgage rates consumers say are preventing them from purchasing a home."

Do you remember Cindy Sheehan? Her son was killed in Iraq and she started protesting the war. She was joined by millions of democrats in the following years. But then Obama took office and all those other democrats stopped protesting with her. Turned out they werent anti-war at all, just anti-Bush the Younger.
This has always been the case. They are all about performative protests, but don't actually hold the beliefs. They only believe in power.
English
@PabloReports I’m kinda curious how Obama deported over 3 million using ICE, and there wasn’t a single protest.
It’s almost as if a particular party didn’t really care, and only wants to express fake outrage over a letter next to the presidents name.
English
Fun Fact: Mass deportations have created virtually no jobs for American workers. None.

A single weather station in Costa Rica, reporting temperatures over 300°C, has inflated global warming trends by nearly 0.9°C since 1975. Standard data checks failed, and homogenization spread the error worldwide. Unbelievable how one volcanic anomaly could distort the whole record. Dive into the details to see how deep this goes.

Being a wife is hard.
Harder than social media 'trad wife' fantasies make it out to be.
Harder than being a nun, according to St. Alphonsus Ligouri.
After a lifetime of hearing the confessions of wives, often for ten hours a day, he said:
'The married woman has to think of providing her family with food and raiment. She has to think of rearing her children, of pleasing her husband and her husband’s relatives ; whence, as the apostle says, her heart is divided between God and her husband, and children. Her husband must be attended to; the children cry and scream, and are continually asking for a thousand things. What time can she have to attend to mental prayer, who can scarce attend to all the business of the house? how can she pray amid so many distracting thoughts and disturbances ? Scarcely can she go to church, to recollect herself, and communicate upon the Sunday. She may have the good desire, but it will be difficult for her to attend to the things of God as she ought. It is true, that in this want of opportunities, she may gain merit, by resignation to the will of God, who requires of her in that state, chiefly patience and resignation; but in the midst of so many distractions and annoyances, without prayer, without meditation, without frequenting the sacraments, it will be morally impossible for her to have that holy patience and resignation.
But, would to God, that married women had no other evil to contend with besides that of not always being able to attend to their sanctification as much as they should; the greater evil is the danger to which they are continually exposed of losing the grace of God, by reason of the intercourse which they must continually have with the relations and friends of their husband, as well in their own houses, as in the houses of others. Unmarried women do not understand this, but married women and those who have to hear their confessions know it well. Let us, however, now have done with the unhappy life which is led by married women, the ill treatment they receive from their husband, the disobedience of children, the wants of the family, the annoyance of mothers-in-law and relatives, the throes of childbirth, always accompanied by danger of death, not to mention the afflictions of jealousy, and scruples of conscience, with regard to the rearing up of their children, all which breed a tempest under which poor married women have continually to groan, and God grant that in this tempest they may not lose themselves, so as to meet with hell in the other world, after having suffered a hell in this.'

If John Roberts really does operate on the basis of consensus building and institutional preservation, he will use all of his leverage to make sure that the administration wins this case. Because if he doesn't he will have set something in motion that cannot end well - if the SC allows birthright citizenship continues to be interpreted to allow any pregnant woman from anywhere to come here and have a child who is instantly a citizen- the democrats will immediately open the border again as soon as they have the next opportunity.
English
The most blackpilling part of the birthright citizenship debate at SCOTUS isn't that they might rule the Constitution requires it. It's that, if they do, there isn't a hope in Hell that our Congress would ever pass a new amendment to fix it.
It should be the easiest thing in the world to pass a new law clarifying that tourist anchor babies and surrogate children bought by CCP oligarchs don't get lifelong U.S. citizenship. Yet everybody knows Congress will never do this. There aren't enough votes to repeal a policy of obvious long-term national suicide.
That should fill us with a lot of dread for the country's future.
English
If SCOTUS rules *for* birthright citizenship, the country is done. I really don't think I'm overstating this.

Well, yes, it can be true that when the President does things they aren't allowed to do, that the courts can strike him down.
40 U.S.C. § 8106 says that Congress has to approve such construction. It's all pretty clear.
When the President does something they aren't allowed to do, how do you imagine they should be stopped?

@TheJFreakinC Cool, so this means you are for ending birthright citizenship!
English
If the U.S. didn’t have birthright citizenship, we wouldn’t have a 34-count pedophile felon in the Oval Office right now…
Donald J. Trump is only a U.S. citizen because of it.
His mother, Mary Anne MacLeod Trump, wasn’t a citizen when he was born.
His father, Fred Trump, was only a citizen because he was born here to immigrant parents.
No birthright citizenship…
His dad wouldn’t be a citizen.
His mom wasn’t a citizen.
So, what does that make him?
And now he wants to end the very rule that made it his own life, wealth, and presidency possible.
If they end birthright citizenship… then they have to do the same to Trump’s presidency.
English
Here's the thing: if you oppose birthright citizenship, that's an opinion you're allowed to hold. It's a free country.
It means you support changing the United States Constitution, which very clearly and explicitly says anyone born on American soil is a citizen.
But pretending that the U.S. Constitution doesn't say that, just because you don't like it, is a silly child's game. Birthright citizenship is a foundational principle of what America is all about, and no President, no matter how ignorant or delusional, is able to change that with the stroke of a pen. That's just not how America works. 🇺🇸
