My only issue is that when you link to a tweet responding to a tweet that's quote-retweeting a third tweet, the embedding doesn't indicate that there's a third tweet being quote-retweeted (see above post). If it's not loading at all then I don't know what to say, that was an issue recently but we think it was a third-party issue that resolved itself.

You might be surprised just how preposterous the idea of a personal right to own guns was considered in just our lifetimes. Hopefully I will be proven wrong, but I am operating under the assumption that SCOTUS is now a political arm of the Republican party. They will reach decisions based on what suits their need. Abood was overturned, any hint of criticism of Christianity is now discrimination, while attack after attack on Islam is "facially neutral". No doubt Cayce is right. This is more shit against the wall distraction. But make no mistake, this( like most other issues now) is not a question of Constitutionality. It's a question of how bad Republicans want it.

Guest Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I’ve been in a really bad mood since reading this. I’ve made the argument to several family members of mine that Trump would have stopped my wife from being a citizen at birth by virtue of my mother in law’s status at the time. They all scoffed. Well, here it is as explicit as can be. America doesn’t deserve people like my wife, but we sure have earned Donald. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwinIon Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I've long been a supporter of changing the constitution. Now, I personally fear what would happen if the GOP was able to do it at will, but I think there are a whole host of things that need to be edited, changed, added, or removed. Banning birthright citizenship through an executive order is downright absurd, but I wouldn't mind normalizing the idea that the constitution needs a refresher.

The EO will likely just (attempt to) clarify that "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof" isn't applicable to people in the country illegally. It will then get challenged, and the hope (of the Administration) is that the Supreme Court will rule in favor of the executive. Or at least that's the way I see it playing out.
