In my mind, this article ... https://thefederalist.com/2025/01/24/trump-is-right-about-birthright-citizenship/ ... clearly shows why this will be a slam dunk for Trump at the Supreme Court. The slimy democRATS are once again making arguments out of context that completely ignore a key portion of the 14th Amendment and the previous court decision used to justify their lawsuit. There really is no precedent in this matter, if one looks closely at that.

To me, all of this is very sane. This matter has never been adjudicated. Trump's EO will force SCOTUS to review this.

I think there is a very good chance SCOTUS will rule in Trump's direction, I think Gorsuch has been clear on this matter in the past.

At any rate, it is time we considered the value of citizenship. Is it worthless? Can anybody just take it? Or is it an exclusionary type of privilege? I think elevating the value of American citizenship is a good thing.

Precedent doesn’t mean a law is good. Or even 🌽stitutional. SCOTUS ruled that Barack Obama was less than 100% a human person. Until that was reversed. And also ruled the Americans have the “right” to murder human babies. Barack Obama publishing a price list for the sale of dead human babies. Including according to FOIA requests, the price to buy a “fresh never been frozen human head”. Of course the babies need to be murdered by crushing legs, and if not preserving the head crushing the skulls. With out anesthesia so as to preserve internal organs for harvesting, until Roe v Wade, bad law picked out of the ether with no basis in the US Constitution, was reversed. So bad interpretations of the 14th amendment for political agendas, does not mean we can’t correct bad precedent.

We also should clarify, since Congress refused to vet Kamala and her illegal parents properly, that she clearly never was qualified to be a US president. Naturalized or not per the 14th amendment, she is Not “natural born”. As constitutionally required along with the age requirement.

Hillary’s Birther movement against Barack was dropped. Once P I’s discovered his real baby daddy was Communist Icon Frank Marshall Davis. A US citizen. Making Barack “natural born”. And Congress vetted John McCain's status.

🤞🤞🤞, at least let’s have a proper debate in SCOTUS now see all sides of the arguments finally. And stop dancing around the margins. Then let’s put appointing senators back to State Legislations instead of popularity contests. And restore more balanced Federalism and State’s rights.
