wow, how lucky we are that the ultimate deciders on litigation are not a bunch of partisans hacks, right?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

My brother in Christ his family were immigrants here at one point, not to mention his wife and her parents..
When they say it's about race, it's about class. When they say it is about class, it's about gender. And when they say it's out gender, it's about race.
Or at least that's how it feels sometimes.
Other races, lower classes and LGBT.
Republican's only need their voters to be two things:
- Hates one of the above.
- Doesn't give a shit about the other two.
So they are incentivised to scatter shot and hurt as many people as possible to get the maximum number of votes... America is fucked.
Yeah but they bought their citizenship, they didn't have it given to them by some stupid thing like the Constitution. Plus, they're the "right kind" of immigrants. Wink wink.
Surprise? He's threatened to throw out the constitution because "we don't need it." And he has SCOTUS and Congress to let him do what he wants. Plus he'll have an AG that will basically be his lawyer. Trump is going to do whatever he wants.
Fingers crossed that we have immortalized the constitution so hard that the military would coup him over this. Crazy that's a thing I'm wishing for. Revolution would be cooler but this is America.
“A mountain of opposition” to the public, maybe, but all the bitching from the ACLU, et al will mean nothing to a Republican majority in Congress.
"Official act." That's all it'll take, I'm calling it now.
And how likely is it that a conservative majority SC will stand up to Trump?
Same chance as Trump choking on a piece of hamberder
Him choking is far more likely (but still won't happen).
'Murica zealots who claim to love the Constitution have elected someone who wants to shred it. This is the darkest timeline.
The Constitution gets shredded regularly. It's a failed document.
Dipshit whose family were immigrants wants to destroy immigration.
Peak 'pulling the ladder up behind him.'
Of all the Supreme Court precedents that are going on the chopping block, I certainly did not expect United States v. Wong Kim Ark on that list.
He wants lawsuits so he can appeal to the Supreme Court and they'll rule in his favor.
New SC Justice Cannon has entered the chat.
We are so seriously fucked.
Genuine question: what happens to someone born in the US to non citizens? If they were born in the states, would they not have the citizenship of their parents country? At that point would they just have no citizenship anywhere?
I'm sure if it came down to it their parents home country might grant their child citizenship, but it probably won't be guaranteed..
I'm not aware of any country where the child would not automatically be eligible for the parents citizenship, even if the child is born abroad.
Basically only people with money would be able to 'earn' citizenship I suspect. Anyone else is left out of school, social programs, etc purposely.
Dude wants to help Musk become president.
