@btbd314 @aethelamerican @SeanTrende Oh dear. I get that you are super mad, but this just isn’t true. You need to go take a nap.

@EditrixLane @aethelamerican @SeanTrende ( dual citizens like American Indians you talked about. The 1924 citizenship act addressed the Indian question not the 14th amendment specifically because the 14th amendment doEsnt apply to them)
English
I still think it’s hilarious that with the birthright citizenship MAGA has become living constitutionalists (this is a problem they didn’t consider in 1868!) and lefties have become plain meaning/originalist types.
English
@ZacMabry They discussed immigrants. They were also working in the background of English law.
English
This isn’t really the argument tho, because nobody who voted for the 14th thought it would apply to “sojourners” or basically anybody besides freedmen. The case boils down to whether or not you can accidentally put something in the constitution.

@yoncesgroovess @GeauxGabrielle Once it gets into your CNS. Blood is okay, but not central nervous system (which is when the symptoms start).
English
@GeauxGabrielle There is no cure once the disease enters your blood or hits your brain. I can't really remember. I just know once it's not treated ASAP you're pretty much going to die.

Less than 50 people IN THE WORLD have survived symptomatic rabies baby girl.
nah@ogbt88
It's literally not 100% a few people have been cured. But you are right them stopping testing is concerning

@PhilsRazor @ChrisDJackson Dude, do you really think the President has unfettered ability to tear down the Washington Monument? Raze the White House? Sell Yellowstone? He’s actually not a dictator or a monarch. He doesn’t own federal land.
English
@EditrixLane @ChrisDJackson Where's the Constitutional authority for limiting the Presidents power there, with a "commission"?
Is that commission in the Executive Branch?
Who runs the Executive Branch?
English
A basketball court? Please. He put a goal on the tennis courts. That is not even remotely comparable to tearing down a main structure without permission and building a monstrosity that would dwarf the actual White House.
Lance Gooden@Lancegooden
President FDR built an indoor swimming pool with private funds. President Obama built a basketball court with private funds. Yet a single judge can block President Trump from building a PRIVATELY FUNDED ballroom that would benefit generations to come.
English
@btbd314 @aethelamerican @SeanTrende Oh dear, that’s simply not accurate on either point. There’s English law on this, spelled out in the briefs. And your position would mean, what, no dual citizens? That American Indians not born on a reservation would be illegal aliens? It doesn’t cut the mustard.
English
@EditrixLane @aethelamerican @SeanTrende a) liberals do not believe that text matters. ur a fool
b) jurisdiction means allegiance, not who gets arrested. the us routinely invokes its jurisdiction outside its borders to arrest international criminals. are their children citizens now?
English
@VTCCHokie81 @IlyaSomin @peterschweizer Can non-diplomat, non-soldier foreigners be arrested and tried for crimes on US soil?
English
@IlyaSomin @peterschweizer Not true! Our argument is that foreign nationals who give birth in the United States are not under the jurisdiction of the United States. Freed slaves were most definitely under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Schweitzer should know better.
English
As we prepare for Supreme Court oral argument in birthright citizenship case, it's important to remember every argument for denying birthright citizenship to children of undocumented migrants also requires denial for many freed slaves, thus undermining main purpose of Citizenship Clause. See my @lawfare article: lawfaremedia.org/article/slaver…

The Trump administration must restore the legal status of potentially hundreds of thousands of immigrants who came to the United States legally through a Biden-era pathway, a federal judge ruled Tuesday.

Just horrible seeing @JaredEMoskowitz being a normal Dad who supports his kid. This is clearly unacceptable in today’s politics…

@Ja_Rallen @davepl1968 There was a teacher on the plane. There was a whole school program rolled out by NASA.
There’s a reason people remember this one and not the later Columbia one.
English
It was live broadcast in schools. I remember being in the gym with the rest of my school (very small school) watching it. It isn’t a replay I remember, I remember more than just the explosion. I remember who I was sitting with, the excitement before and the silence after, the looks on faces around me.
You are wrong, we WERE watching.
English
99.9% of people who "experienced" the Challenger disaster saw it on replay and now remember it as live.
Almost NO ONE was watching. Everyone thinks they were. It's a fascinating collective false memory.
Jeremy London@SirJeremyLondon
Anyone who experienced the Space Shuttle Challenger explosion, like I did, is probably a bit hesitant to get too excited about the Artemis II launch today. I truly hope our children don’t have to experience such tragedy. May the Universe welcome them and return them safely home 🙏

@EggerDC @stanveuger Hon! Can you tell TMZ you have pictures of me making dinner for you and the kids? It’ll save me a $100k in ad buys.

A good plot twist would be that Moskowitz leaked this one himself

@codeb0z0 @GuntherEagleman (Sauer was making this up. So there’s that.)
English
@GuntherEagleman You'd think that such a renowned justice would at least have a clerk do a tiny amount of research to see what the drafters of the amendment might have thought "jurisdiction" meant. We're all doomed in this country.
English
Justice Kagan tried to pin Solicitor General Sauer into a corner during arguments over birthright citizenship, suggesting the challengers' position relied on some esoteric theory rather than the plain text.
Sauer dismantled that by going straight to the source. The men who actually wrote the 14th Amendment and its predecessor Civil Rights Act defined "jurisdiction" as requiring complete allegiance to the United States, not foreign powers.
Temporary visitors, diplomats, and those not domiciled with full loyalty were never intended to pass on automatic citizenship to their children born here.
This wasn't some fringe idea cooked up later. It was the consistent understanding for decades, backed by congressional debates, treatises, and early cases.
Modern claims of universal birthright citizenship for everyone physically present ignore what the framers actually said.
Time to restore the real 14th Amendment.

@STEWest Having to listen to a woman talk for 13 minutes without interrupting is 12 and a half longer than ever before in his life.
English
This is... amazing. The man stood up in the middle of the proceedings and walked out? He disrupted the proceedings of the Supreme Court?
If that's not showing contempt for the whole structure of our system... What an ass.

@Jakethecrazy19 @Legal_Fil Her point is the following: if a doctor tells a person that having a 14 BMI is healthy, can the state revoke a license. If a doctor says drinking mercury will help you regrow hair, can the state revoke a license. The majority says no. The state issue license cannot be revoked.
English
@Legal_Fil I’m not convinced she always does know the law
People who reach the Supreme Court usually are the greatest legal minds in the country but Jackson has shown again and again that she lacks basic knowledge and intelligence
English
I’m trying to think of the last justice whose elicited so many “I can’t believe I have to explain this to you” reactions from his or her own side.

English
@PhilsRazor @ChrisDJackson No, there is a commission that oversees the White House grounds. For example, when Melania wanted to add a tennis pavilion, the plans were approved by it. A president can't just burn it down because he wants to. He doesn't own the house.
English
@ChrisDJackson "without permission"...?
From whom? Each president is caretaker of the White House. He'd only need permission to spend tax dollars in excess of what was allocated for facility maintenance.
Stop denying that Trump won & is now President.
English
@LauraRbnsn For 200 years, courts interpreted the militia clause as relevant to the amendment. Scalia had to get his 5 votes that it was just silly words that meant nothing.
English
@LauraRbnsn Two things as well: (1) there were immigrants when the 14th was drafted. There were questions about Chinese immigration then. And Canada and Mexico went with BRC too. (2) There's the militia clause in the 2nd that had to be written out as meaningless by Scalia et al.
English
Look, I'm not even a hardliner on gun control, but why are we supposed to believe that the people who wrote the 14th amendment erred because they couldn't imagine a modern border but they could imagine an AK-47?
Clay Travis@ClayTravis
The Supreme Court’s debate today: What did people who have been dead for 150 years intend for their law to mean for a modern situation they never conceived could ever occur?
English
@AEKouri @ClayTravis There's actual history on this. And while tied to the reality of the end of slavery, there were actual debates that raised immigration. It's what they picked. Just like Canada and Mexico did.
English
@EditrixLane @ClayTravis If you read the historical documents from when the amendment was passed, it was not intended to be a free for all.
The change was part of the reconstruction following the civil war. It was 100% intended to ensure former slaves & their children would be American citizens.
English
An American citizen’s baby can’t become a Chinese citizen by being born on the soil of China. Can anyone explain why a Chinese citizen’s baby should be able to become an American citizen by being born on the soil here? It’s absolute insanity.
English
@aethelamerican @SeanTrende If you are born in the US to a person who is able to be arrested in the US, that's all that the amendment requires.
And saying it's wrong for liberals is silly. Liberals believe that text matters.
English
@SeanTrende except nothing but a completely tortured "originalist" reading supports birth tourism as it exists today, either
English
@AEKouri @ClayTravis It’s literally what they decided with the 14th. Now, you can change it, but that was the policy decision made then.
English
@ClayTravis Anyone arguing for birthright citizenship does it on an emotional basis. There is absolutely zero logic to make a case that someone here illegally or visiting should be given the privilege of US citizenship.
