@LikeAMadWoman22 @JBlunt1018 @JackPosobiec Only a US citizen can be subject to US jurisdiction. If a baby is born to foreigners, the baby falls under the jurisdiction belonging the parents. That doesn’t foreigners living in the US are not subject to our laws.

@jpkoch @JBlunt1018 @JackPosobiec Ah, so our laws don’t apply to them then. How is ICE arresting people who aren’t subject to our laws?

Alito is very smart for bringing up military service requirements. In countries with compulsory service (South Korea, Israel, Russia), even if a child is born abroad, they are still required to serve in the military

@w_sd94 @JD_Mogz @RTWatchDesk @ronsterd89 Good grief thousands of tires are safely repaired everyday

@jpkoch @JD_Mogz @RTWatchDesk @ronsterd89 The real question is it it a risk YOU are willing to take? if you are comfortable that’s cool. But most shop owners will not risk losing everything they own if some employee makes a mistake and a person or family is seriously injured.

Tires with 11,000 miles and a nail. Firestone told me they are not repairable. Firestone said this is not repairable because of the location and that I would need a new tire. It's a slow leak, about 1-2 psi a day. I am in disbelief that this is not repairable.. Can I not just get a fix kit? 🤧

@CaveNewton @LauraPowellEsq What are you talking about?

@LauraPowellEsq What about the professionalism of the DOJ? They make utterly contemptible, nonsense, lie-filled arguments because that is all the Trump administration has on offer to defend their lawlessness. You're not going to like the next decade of retribution.

What is going on with the professionalism of the judiciary? The judge used 18 exclamation marks in his 35-page opinion. Four times, he started his refutation of an argument made by the defendants with “Please!” This is a formal legal opinion, not a casual conversation.

@JD_Mogz @RTWatchDesk @ronsterd89 The nail isn't even close to the side wall. Over the years I've had a half dozen tires plugged just like the one photographed.

@RTWatchDesk @ronsterd89 Times change dumbass it is in fact not repairable straight from the RMA and if shop repairs and something happens they will be at fault

@Elisa_freedom @mrddmia We could do something novel. If these "citizens", who show up just to vote in elections and then return to their country are truly Americans, then they must pay US taxes - even if living abroad. Talk to expats about this. Every single one of them will need to file taxes

@mrddmia What can be done if the Court does this?

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.

@theDevFiend @GuntherEagleman Learn the subject before posting. Your use of the word "settled" is wrong. Also, court rulings, even high court rulings are never "settled". See Plessy and Roe. They are just that opinions - legal opinions.

@GuntherEagleman Funny how “modern interpretations” conveniently ignore 100+ years of settled birthright citizenship. Suddenly history and precedent only matter when it fits today’s talking points.

Justice Kavanaugh delivered one of the sharper exchanges in the birthright citizenship arguments, pressing Solicitor General Sauer on why the 14th Amendment used different language than the Civil Rights Act of 1866 if they were meant to say the same thing. Sauer answered directly: The Court has long held they mean the same thing. The framers preferred the positive formulation "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" to clear up ambiguity with "Indians not taxed" while keeping the core requirement of full allegiance intact. Congressional records show they explicitly understood they were doing the same thing. Kavanaugh also noted Congress repeated that exact language in the 1940 and 1952 Immigration Acts. Sauer explained this was Congress codifying the constitutional baseline, not adopting a broader view. The structure of the statute treats subsection (a) as the constitutional floor and adds statutory citizenship categories beyond it. Justice Barrett then zoomed out on jus soli versus jus sanguinis, questioning how the Amendment blends elements of both. Sauer described it as a modified jus soli that still demands a relationship of allegiance to the sovereign, consistent with even English common law sources like Calvin's Case. This entire line of questioning reinforces what conservatives have argued for years: the 14th Amendment was never meant to be an open-ended grant of citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil regardless of parental allegiance or lawful status. Modern interpretations have stretched it far beyond the framers' design.

@OsvuisOlmres @GeertPlas @AncPhi Pilot was not a Patrician. He came up via the Equestrian Class. Most men of that class spent decades as first military tribunes, and then Prefects. Pilot spent 20 years as Prefect of Judea, which is unique. Most ambitious Romans would have left after 4-5 years.

@GeertPlas @AncPhi He spoke Aramaic, like every Hebrew from that region, but lots of them also spoke Greek since the time of Alexander. What he probably didn't speak was Latin. During his trial, he probably spoke Greek with Pilate, who was, like most Roman patricians, bilingual in Latin and Greek.

Plato could speak to Christ in Greek, with Mohammed he shares nothing.

@rising_serpent Talk to Mike Pence.

The massive elephant in the room is the question how a state that hasn't had a Democrat governor since 2005, and one that has had a Republican trifecta for the last 18 years, was handing out CDLs to illegals in the first place. Someone please explain the globohomo math to me. Anyone?

@JBlunt1018 @JackPosobiec No, if you're a foreigner born here you are not subject to the US jurisdiction. You are still under the jurisdiction of your parent's country.

Very smart deflection but it doesn’t change the law. If you’re born here, you’re subject to U.S. jurisdiction. Full stop. Military service in other countries has nothing to do with how the 14th Amendment works. If that’s an issue why do we allow dual citizenship? You’re comparing obligations of citizenship elsewhere to the definition of citizenship here, they’re not the same thing. Stay on the actual issue.

@cnp2020 @WallStreetMav AI is making no jobs obsolete. Oracle has run up $156 billion in debt obligations to OpenAI, at a time when its market cap is halved. A year ago Larry Ellison was the wealthiest man on earth ($458 billion in net worth). Today, his wealth is half of what it was in 2025.

@WallStreetMav That’s one take. Or, maybe AI is making their jobs obsolete, and overpriced even at India wages. It’s a good thing they are cutting heavily in India, and not just the US. AI Investing counts against profit, but dinging them on it is a narrow short sighted view.

Oracle is laying off almost 50% of its staff in India. 12K yesterday and more coming. Oracle profits are way down as spending for Ai data centers climbs. Hyperscaling in the Ai race is a money pit.

@WallStreetMav Roberts and Barrett are not conservative.

We're going to lose this country because "conservative" Supreme Court justices do not understand how serious the problem is. Roberts and Barrett seem to be saying, “it’s complicated and we should error on the side of everyone being a citizen.”

@thevivafrei I'm sure all 9 Justices know about birth tourism. Over 1.5 million Chinese are American citizens because of this. congress.gov/119/meeting/ho…

Interesting segment from today’s hearing on the birthright citizenship debate at SCOTUS: Justice Kagan arguing that birthright citizenship could logically exclude children of “sojourners” born on US soil because the nature of their visit to the US was never intended to be permanent. But the exclusion would not apply to the children of illegal aliens, presumably because when the illegal aliens illegally entered the country, their intention was to stay permanently, so their children born on US soil should be given citizenship. Interesting distinction that would effectively ratify the consequences of illegal conduct. Not convinced that’s what the Framers had in mind.

@Skizzle07364136 @greg_price11 The law uses the word jurisdiction. Foreigners are not fully under the jurisdiction of the US. They can be sent back home to their home nation. "Falling under the jurisdiction thereof.." cannot be applied if the person falls even partially under a foreign jurisdiction

@greg_price11 You clearly are not legal proficient, ACLU counsel completely destroyed this line of questioning. It's what the law states, not what Alito wants the law to state.

ACLU Attorney Cecillia Wang argues that any newborn child, regardless of their parents' legal status and allegiance to foreign nations, even adversaries like Iran, should be granted citizenship without regard to said allegiance. Completely damning.

@timrouth @robertlufkinmd In 1982 were smack in the middle of the worst recession since 1937.

@robertlufkinmd Mass affluence causes populations to move less and consume more. This affluence took off in 1982 with tax, regulatory and monetary reforms that took hold.

What happened in the 1980's so that everyone, everywhere, of all ages started getting fat?

@Jodontknow333 @TaylorRMarshall @DoraDuRoi See the Great Commission. It is where Jesus left behind His Church. They weren't laymen. See also the Last Supper. They were certainly priests.

@TaylorRMarshall @DoraDuRoi Several apostles were ordinary working men w no formal religious office. In re. to Temple system, they were not priests, Levites, scribes, or rabbis. They were laymen.The later distinction between clergy & laity is a post-apostolic development.. & there is nothing wrong w laymen

Washing the feet of priests (not laymen) is the traditional Maundy practice and I'm glad it's being restored. A good sign.

@NASA_Tim @TaylorRMarshall Read the entire passage. His Disciples said that his words were too difficult to understand. Christ's replied that the understanding did not come via the Flesh (materialism, Reason), but through the Spirit (God's Grace given via the Holy Spirit). Jesus said He was both.

@TaylorRMarshall One tiny problem. When his disciples asked him about His statement about eating his body and blood, He explained that it was spiritual “the words I speak to you are spirit, and they are truth“.

Protestants: “Ew! Y'all claim to eat the Body of Christ! That's cannibalism! Not biblical!” Catholics: “Cannibalism is eating a dead human. Jesus Christ is now alive! Resurrected! This is why Jesus taught: Amen, amen, I say unto you: except you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you. (Jn 6:54) If you want His resurrected life, you must eat His Eucharistic Body. He said so.

@sassydonkey77 @TaylorRMarshall @DoraDuRoi They were Jews ordained by Jesus during the Great Commission.

@TaylorRMarshall @DoraDuRoi They were not Catholic as well. The Apostles were Jews. Connect the dots.

@WadeMiller What if 100k pregnant Russian women appeared on our shore, and gave birth to 100k babies, and those babies returned to Russia and returned 18 years later in order to vote? All the children were raised by right wing, violent Russian nationalists. Should they be allowed to vote?

If 20 million pregnant Chinese women are dropped off on our shores by the Chinese military, are those babies citizens? Any Justice who says yes is retarded.

@DocStrangelove2 "Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad."

When are we going to collectively as a society just stop these people?

@_WorldMonitor_ @zerohedge Control over what, exactly?

@zerohedge Trump just want the US to have more power/control I don`t believe he will leave for one second

*NATO WORRIES TRUMP WILL DEFANG ALLIANCE AS US THREATENS EXIT
