Since when does a potus & scotus get to overturn a Constitutional Amendment? I am confused about the 14th... [View all]
Legal Eagles of DU please help me here — I thought the 14th (birthright citizenship) was nailed down tight. I’ve had a lot to say — but here I am just asking: how is this even a legal thing to do, the way they are?
I have more questions, as well. The Sleazy Six apparently want to throw the issue back to the 50 states — which would leave a brown child born in California or Hawai’i a US citizen, but if born in Texas or Mississippi that child would be stateless.
How is this even legal for the Court to contemplate?
Finally, my mind circled back to Dobbs, which was thrown back to the tender mercies of the 50 states, and is creating chaos and dead women.
Again, I’ve had a lot to say about that — but today, this is my question: is SCOTUS complicit in trying to break apart the USA?
Quite literally, is there something going on at that high a level to fulfill the fantasies of secessionists at last?
