This crossed my feed yesterday. The original article is in Slate, but on the PC it's pay. On my phone, it's free. So, I'll briefly summarize the article. You can probably pull it up on your phone, if you want.

Birth-right citizenship is full of precedent. As far back as 1898, Wong Kim Ark, the courts have affirmed it. Apparently, the govt tried to strip citizenship of 120K people between 1946-67 (mostly native-born). The courts put a stop to it in 1967 with Afroyim v Rusk. It was a unanimous decision.

They included some history during those years, with two different camps regarding denaturalization. Several cases like Perez v Brownell along the way. But there was unanimity that the 14th Amendment says if you were born here, you're a citizen. Regardless of the status of your parents.

I'll include the link in case someone can access it (or if you read on your phone):

SCOTUS would be going against more than a century of unanimous agreement that the 14th says you are a citizen if you were born here.

Precedent means nothing to this court. Of course, that is not unprecedented. "Separate but equal" was declared legal, until it wasn't. We really don't know what the court decides, until it decides. Whatever it decides, the losing side with litigate it again. As I tried to explain to Tim, on the Fool, years ago, in Shinyland, there is no such thing as "settled law".

JFC another example of Leftynik here just swallowing whatever propaganda comes over his social media feed without using whatever they have that passes for a brain.

Wong Kim Ark did NOT NOT NOT involve the child, born in the U.S., of non-citizens who were ILLEGALLY PRESENT in the U.S.

The kid's parents were LEGALLY PRESENT IN THE U.S.

You fucking idiot.

Oh excuse me Steve responded before I did.

So, make that two idiots, one of whom is also a raving paranoid schizophrenic anti-Semite & Star Trek fan.

False attributions and creating straw men by making up quotes that your debating opponent didn't actually state is a sign of a paranoid schizophrenic delusional Leftist.

I have him on ignore for that exact reason. However, if he's launching attacks like that, he should probably be reported to Manlobbi for removal. I didn't see the post, and so really can't report it. And once in my p-box, you never get out (which is why I use it extremely sparingly).

No, please don't go there.

Marco is an ass.

Put him on ignore like several of us has.

But let's keep this forum free from censorship, except in the truly most egregious cases. Marco being an ass does not qualify.

Put him on ignore like several of us has.

As I said, I already did. Months ago when he hurled his first profane invectives.
