The Constitution is extremely clear on birthright citizenship. There is no part of it that could possibly be more clear. If the president can overrule that, we no longer live in a constitutional democracy.

The constitution requires "every person" on American soil rights to due process, barring of the military being used on American soil! The military has rules against felons being in the military, which should have alone been enough to prevent him from running to become commander in chief!
The Constitution is also pretty straightforward in terms of exceptions to the Rule of Law, and the exception "unless a wannabe despot doesn't wanna go to jail for his crimes" is not, in fact, there at all.
The ultimate position of 6 members of the Supreme Traitors

If we're going to start interrupting the constitution based on today's world, let's address the 2nd amendment...
Our Constitution ceased to have any real meaning yesterday and it has been massively eroded over the past twenty years by Congress ceding more and more of its power to the Executive Branch.
I don’t understand how the president can effectively write laws.
He can't All are illegal.
And all constraints are off...we can do anything and everything to Shittler and his loathsome creatures.
There is some good news on THIS case. The state AG’s have filed for class status ALREADY When granted class status the injunction will be established This non constitutional finding can be corrected by Congress which can spell out the circumstances that allow for nationwide injunctions
So we are still screwed.
Some cases yes but not all. It will take until Dems control Congress to fix this and many other activist rulings Roberts court have made in 25 years. Very few of their findings are constitutionally based and supported which gives CONGRESS the ability to correct them
Yeah but republicans will object and just take any case they disagree with to the Supreme Court.And how do you think they will rule?
Riiight. Actually more socialist minded independent and 3rd party candidates need to take control of the Congress. We can’t continue to allow Neo liberalism keep walking us into fascism.
They’re not going to hold mid term elections. There’s only one way this ends…
A general strike can still stop this
3 and 1/2 to 4% of the population jamming all ability for any labor to go on in any sector of the economy. Loads of sand in the fascist gears. The only remaining hope.
Strikes do not affect the plutocracy that is calling the shots here. Local millionaires will be affected but they are riding coat tails not steering the horse
No elections leads to a credit default and global financial Meltdown. Our credit rating to get $36 Trillion in debt is based upon us being a democracy Ppl do not buy the bonds of fascist countries We need to sell 800 Billion of new bonds a month. No election makes that impossible
Democracy ended when the Court ruled one man is free to break the law. And that is NOT in the Constitution either.
And to think the SCOTUS would even ponder the issue otherwise! Shameful and disgusting how low the U.S. has sunk in six months of Project 2025 & Trump & his advisor Stephen the ‘Nazi Vampire’ Miller www.facebook.com/share/r/1Afi...

You don‘t, sorry to say
Our democracy died the day dictator trump was sworn in.
Overthrow this nonsense and let’s start over!
Yeah, that happened starting in 2016. Glad you've caught up.
The MAGA regime intends to dismantle our country and take us back to the reconstruction era!
Yep
Correct, so act accordingly
Keep thinking that this will happen again, America was founded on no one ruler ruling. Good luck America! Futurist never include America in their writings because they probably see it’s downfall due to lazy citizens & over controlling wealthy few who want to see their will as the only thing done.
At the moment you don't and have not for some months. sooner thesis recognised the better.
They are counting on the fact that tourists and undocumented mothers giving birth won’t have the wherewithal to sue when their child isn’t automatically given US citizenship. This will eventually get to SCOTUS, and they will uphold birthright citizenship.
Also, if a new constitutional amendment passes, stating that one must be in the US legally in order for a child to be a citizen, I’d be ok with that. But I wouldn’t go as far as Trump to eliminate it for students or people here on long term, but temporary, work VISA’s.
*sips drink remembering how the 13th Amendment makes allowances for slavery*
They didn't rule that the President can overrule the Constitution. They ruled that Federal courts can't enforce federal law outside their own jurisdictions, because obviously the Constitution was never meant to mean the same thing in all 50 states. Equally ridiculous, but different.
So we are NOT the united states,in effect
Pretty much.
Exactly. 100 percent.
Yes. www.loa.org/books/the-or...
Until the project 25 Christian nationalists get hold of it. Does anybody else realize that we’re letting a minority of fringe religious fanatics dictate our lives and take away our very right to exist? Is it just me? Look at Iran ffs
No, you are 100% correct. This False Christian fanaticism is a root driver of all the autocracy.
It’s going to have to get ugly. Period
I agree. But our "leaders" our media, everyone seems to be complicit. I'm wondering what everybody's waiting for. But I do understand now how the Holocaust happened.
So we break the system. We have the power. We just have to put aside the fear. Converge on DC en masse and stay there, camp there and live there until our voices are heard loud and clear! Walk away from jobs, break the ties enslaving us to shitty jobs so we can have shitty healthcare. RESIST‼️
If we defeat Trump and his male-white Christian National regime, we'll need a new Constitution to stop this tragedy from ever happening again...
Weird how they are so inflexible on the poorly-worded 2nd Amendment, but can't accept the literal words of the 14th.
Hey guys because they want to be able to shoot people and they don't care if people die pretty much
news flash, we don't
It’s no longer the USA. More like trumpland, that dump in North America,
Unfortunately the Constitutional democracy ship has sailed. We now live in an authoritarian state where the Supreme Court has worked consistently to give more power to the ruling despot and the kleptocrats that benefit from this lawless state.
News for you…. You don’t
The problem is not the lack of a consistent message in the Constitution, the problem is a corrupt and complicit DOJ, SJC, and Republican Congress.
We would not even be here if it wasn’t for the trump goon squad #SCOTUS
The SC will remove birth right citizenship. Our country is on the brink of being a fascist country.
It’s not on the brink, it is, and has been since you elected the fascist
I don't disagree, but once the votes stop counting, there is only one way this will go.
People need to stop thinking fascism will start tomorrow. It’s already there. What more proof does one need?
We should deport all his children who had a immigrant mother who was not a citizen, Barons mother was even here illegally.
Evidently, not so clear for the Un-Supreme Court Justices.
US democracy is in the rear view mirror. Try having brown skin and go about your daily life right now. Oh you are white? Autocracy hurts everyone eventually.
SCOTUS basically just made it so that blue voters and their right to representation simply do not exist if Trump can unilaterally decide that none of them are citizens anymore...
It's starting to look like we have never lived in a constitutional democracy.
We don’t and yesterday we stopped being The “United” States.
Maybe all blue states should secede as a separate nation and watch the red states collapse as the empirical result of illogical unworkable and cruelly selfish social policies--See "What's the Matter with Kansas" for essential failed template of Neo-liberal economic policies.
I agree 1000% in that all blue states shut off their money pipeline to the Feds. Unfortunately I would end up behind enemy lines as I have spent the past 33 years fighting the Rethuglican Religiouslatue in Utah. I do have family and friends to rally with but ya they need to fail and fall hard.
I’ve been thinking about this too. A civil war presumes this would likely take place.
Just watched “Civil War” on Max. It does not paint a pretty picture of what a possible CWII might look like. This country is intermingled even in the rural town I live in, granted probably a 10-1 ratio not in my favor but I moved here for the mountains and skiing but they are making it hard to stay
Like with religion people, extremists can reason any reality they choose. And this court can make a pretzel envious when it comes to reasoning how to justify their biased extremist thinking.
Well right-wing republican christians never bother with things like rule of law or the constitution. All they are interested in is forcing their mythology down the throats of everyone else despite their own hypocrisy. Maybe Jesus was a racist rapist felon con-man dictator to be followed.
KKK /NAZI SCOTUS
It would require changing the Constitution which requires either a two-thirds vote in both houses of Congress or a national convention called by two-thirds of state legislatures.
that happened when the (also) plainly worded 14th Amendment, Sect. 3 disqualified Trump from holding ANY office Now as illegal POTUS, nothing he does is valid, and no laws apply BECAUSE he needs to be removed. Until then... we ARE NOT a Republic. #USAisaWarCrime #LandBACK
Totally correct analysis.
I think it's game over for democracy in the US. Most of the tools needed by an autocracy were put in place years ago. It's a tragedy, but Trump is was made possible by the American people, a lesson in history that seems to be forgotten and repeated again and again.
Funny how many Americans will just live with it. No fight at all.
"Funny" not the word I'd use...
Buckle up They've done in 5 months what other Authoritarians needed years to do
Meh, Hitler took 30 days…. But Germany was smaller and not divided into states so congrats … /s
Democracy was so last week. The goal posts keep moving but it’s pretty obvious.
Correct
You can amend it, like other amendments that have been made (and removed) but there has to be a process more robust than one man's whim, right?
Yes, and there is a proper process about amending it. But if you have an administration that does not care about rules, what does it help? www.archives.gov/federal-regi...
Americans need to study uprisings and take the power back.
To natives, we are ALL Illegal.
Correct. Its over thanks to SCOTUS.
Not the president alone, but the president with a questionable Supreme Court can overrule an old amendment. You would need a functional Congress to prevent it.
Article 1 (Congress) to oversee article 2 (President) in turn refereed by article 3 (the courts). 4th estate of course is free press.
No branch is functional right now = lawlessness.
At least 147 GOP in the House. All supported resurrection.
That is insurrection--nothing will "resurrect" these losers.
If the punishment was death instead of…NOTHING.
That is the only conclusion from the Supreme Court ruling.
We live in a budding police state. It's what we will pass to our children. Our parents passed us a functional vibrant democracy in the form they the given. In history we will be the most vilified generation.
Rightly so.40% are intellectually lazy and ignorantly asleep politically.
It is time for people to be relentless in support of our constitution. There should be constant protesting by thousands in front of the Supreme Court. We demand our rights be protected not ignored.
How can anyone be held accountable anymore?
We haven't lived in one for months. One could argue years, though.
