Isn't this, like, catastrophic? Now, the government can basically do whatever it wants to people who don't have the resources to challenge it in court themselves, or live in a state that will do it on their behalf.

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!

Yes. It is over. Democracy has fallen. Do with that as you will
Eh, close, but that's still theoretically barely viable until the administration takes the affirmative step of saying "everybody in Denver can't vote but Rifle's cool", at which point anybody in Denver who can't get a lawyer and a court date is probably screwed,
So, yeah I guess the difference between rule of law being down for the count and democracy going into hibernation might be entirely semantic in practice
Do with that as you will
I'm going to believe a lot of people are about to realize what a bad idea this all is and keep telling people what a bad idea this all is and eventually live in a better world or get dumped in a mass grave for running my mouth. Good luck everybody.
I'll end up in that same dump im Sure..
Looks like a good day....
I take comfort that at least I'll be in there with aliens and druids.
Want to hear something that would be a hoot if it weren't so depressing?
I asked ChatGPT "with no more birthright citizenship, how can i prove that I'm an American?" IT COULDN'T ANSWER. That's the first time I've ever seen that, and I use it a lot for work.
My best guess is you'll now need to have your parents and maybe even grandparents birth certificates if they were US citizens. That would be solid proof. If you get to see a judge
Someone in this admin will try to say, "Both of your parents were born here... but their parents were here illegally so none of your citizenship counts."
I get it a lot with political questions.
So none of us will be able to prove that we're citizens. How convenient for the Ruling Party.
Uh oh... Clarence Thomas just got a new luxury RV for free! Thanks Harlan!
Did he quit?
He can't. He has to vote for unconstitutional Trump shit to return the favors.
So John Oliver wasn’t his only RV suitor?
More bad behavior from the Roberts Supreme Court. Write it down, Democrats.
I'm just going to keep putting "bad behavior / bad behaviour" in the thread of each new piece of SCOTUS' deliberate ignorance of democracy, constitution and the rule of law. You'll be able to search my profile for it, and maybe Democrats can do something about it if they can retake power.
How optimistic you are, to assume that the token opposition party will EVER have any power, ever again.
It's also a very bold assumption of mine that they would try to do anything more than the status quo even if they did manage to retake power, predicated on the Democratic Party being massively reformed. If there was ever a time to reform the Dems, that's right now, years before midterms or a US general election.
And that you know, they'll see this person profile in a niche social network.
No birthright citizenship in a country founded and inhabited almost entirely by immigrants, with no mandatory national ID? Yeah that's gonna be a shitshow and a half.
