headlines like that are why I stopped going to any Meidas network content
I think they really fucked themselves over with that. like, sure, some of the time it was an accurate serious statement (but not enough people in america care, so it appeared that it wasn't actually as serious but in fact it was just the response to it that was not serious), but a lot of the time they just use clickbait titles and then you're sitting there like wait that's it?
This calls for a return to form. Happy YDAU everyone.
And Chief Justice John Roberts, another conservative on the bench, also had something of a mic-drop moment when Sauer tried to make the point that “we’re in a new world where eight billion people are one plane ride away from having a child who’s a U.S citizen.”
Roberts replied: “It’s a new world. It’s the same Constitution.”
I expect this is where they pivot next. What does it take to amend the American constitution? Or what does it take to make a new one, given that they will try to justify that an old document does not fit the modern world
New world same constitution... God they're right. And I totally agree Trump would change it if he possibly could.
It would be impossible in today's political climate.
You need >66% vote in both House and Senate, or you need a Constitutional Convention called by >66% of the state legislatures. Then you need to ratify the amendment, which requires approval by >75% of state legislatures.
What could pass 75% of states?
In this day and age it amazes me we ever had that level of consensus. Something is super broken.
Currently 94% of states have medical marijuana yet its still federally illegal and scheduled as a drug with no medical value. That's a good indicator of consensus not meaning jack to the federal government.
Its been broken for a while. Just a reminder that the Equal Rights Amendment of 1972 isn't technically implemented because Virginia didn't ratify until 2020 and now there are questions of expired deadlines and recisions.
Same as how they passed prohibition.
It's actually quite fascinating even as it is disconcerting.
They lobbied state by state, and focused on a few key legislators, threatening their seat, until the rest fell in line.
They didn't have to fight them all at once, so they could focus their resources.

It's so wild to think that 8 billion people are just lying in wait, with full wombs, waiting to hop on a plane to have an "anchor baby", all to pull a fast one on white xtian murica.
2/3 majority in both chambers of congress, plus ratification by 75% of states.
There is not a single issue that will unify the country to that degree right now.
Orders DOW to call in an air strike on SCOTUS.
Gorsuch asked if Native Americans would be considered birthright citizens, and the MAGA lawyer said he'd "have to give it some thought."
Shouldn't he have done that BEFORE appearing in front of SCOTUS?
He'd have to give it some thought??? Jesus fucking Christ
"Yeah, let me just go home and fire up the Google-Fu, and get back to you, say, uh... how's next Wednesday? That work for you?"
I think you're giving them too much credit. It's more like, "I can't ask Grok while everyone's looking!"
Yep. And the phrase NATIVE Americans is a fucking clue
Yeah, it's just a ludicrous situation. Just say Native Americans are obviously citizens, how hard is that? It's not like there are zillions of them, most Americans don't know a single Native American person. Are they so Hell-fired up to get rid of anyone who isn't lily white that they can't make an exception for these people, who are the only real, actual citizens?
No, the answer is no. They have colorful skin, so they have to go.
Honestly though, if the Supreme Court were doing their job even slightly properly, the response from the justices to that facile punt of an answer to a very obvious question should have been to utterly excoriate the lawyer - up to, and hopefully including, dismissal with prejudice. The response that fucker gave shows a very obvious lack of preparedness and consideration - or more likely, very thinly veiled contempt of the court.
I would suggest that the minds of Trump's cronies are rarely troubled by concepts such as "thought".
If I look at the results of these people "thinking", I doubt it would have made much of a difference.

For some reason I can't imagine Trump without a full diaper anymore. When I see the news that he went to SCOTUS hearing I'm thinking "and he was sitting there in a full diaper?". I'm reading that he stormed out and I'm thinking "he can walk with a full diaper? what's that like?". Full diaper is now integral part of his image for me, can't help it.
Aw, what a shame.
The opinion of one old racist grand ~~wizard~~ grandpa doesn't get to overturn virtually all precedent on this matter.
It sounds like he was getting absolutely spanked in there. Even by the conservative judges, LOL.
He had a poopy diaper and he needed someone to wipe his pedo bum
Justice Neil Gorsuch, who was also appointed by Trump, added to the pressure Sauer faced, asking the seasoned Solicitor General: “Do you think Native Americans are birthright citizens under your test?”
“Ah, I think... so,” he replied, somewhat unconvincingly. “I’ll have to think that through.”
Is that literally the first time he's thought about that?
I fucking hate that guy and his stupid asshole voice.

more like trump storms out to create a gaffe at distracting the media from epstein. it happens everytime epstein starts rearing its head, or when something he did was too severe for the media to ignore.
It’s exhausting to hear this, but 100% true. Trump creates daily outrage so there’s no oxygen in the room to focus on his crimes. We were talking about unredacting the files, holding Trump to account in the court of public opinion, and everything fell away again because he used our military to wage war. It’s taken over the conversation, again, with what remains being posts like these reminding people almost in vain that hey, if Trump breathes a word or walks from point A to B while on camera, its to distract the public from organizing over the truth that he is a narcissistic rapist pedophile with the ability to end the world.

Alito sounded like a completely obtuse nincomcoop today. You don’t need to be a constitutional lawyer to see how full of shit the conservatives are.
A space launch and the Supreme Court doing its job?
It's like america has a functioning government!!
/s
Humiliation? Like he's capable of it. He tweeted they were dumb as he left. As far as he's concerned, he won.

FYI: About 35 countries have birthright citizenship, mostly on the American continent. Over 150 countries have citizenship by descent.
Yeah, I always thought that was neat since it's mostly a happy accident from needing to allow freed slaves citizenship. I much prefer that over some sort of bloodline metric.
I think you found the root of why the GOP hate it.

Roberts replied: “It’s a new world. It’s the same Constitution.”
There's the Chief I know. Originalist in the streets, textualist in the sheets.
