Trump just tweeted--and is claiming Congress and Himself can overturn the SC's Birthright citixenship..........

[riversedge]

just like that-!! IDIOT!
It is obvious he did not read what the SC said (but that said--Birthright Citizenship was only upheld
by ONE vote. Scary!!

This is simply not true. Congress cannot do this without a Constitutional Amendment. No gray area here.

Who knew Congress could just pass legislation to overturn a Constitutional amendment?
Helpful to know for dealing with the 2nd Amendment next time the Democrats are in power.

2. He's the annoying boy arguing again

that the supreme court isn't omnipotent. I doubt he even realizes how annoying he is to the people he talks at, over and through.

[Renew Deal]

3. The supreme court was 5-4 against that specific claim

But they can try. They don't have the votes.

[mwmisses4289]

8. Ok, I am confused.

I'm seeing some reports that this was a 6 -3 decision, and others that it was 5-3 (or 5-4). So which is it?

[obamanut2012]

10. 5-4 for the most important part

[mwmisses4289]

12. So 5-4 for some of it, 6-3 for other parts?

Didn't know they could do that; was always taught their decisions had to be what amounts to yes or no on the whole thing.
Glad to have learned something new today.

[obamanut2012]

21. Yes, Brett the Rapey was part of the 5-4 Constitutional issue, and 6-3 on the other

[Renew Deal]

11. 6-3

But 5-4 on whether congress can change the law. It still lost.

[Takket]

4. This would not even make it to the floor in the Senate. It's dead.

[Wiz Imp]

13. And even if it did, it would be struck down again by the Supreme Court.

5 Justices ruled birthright citizenship is guaranteed by the 14th amendment. The only way to change that (with this court) is a constitutional amendment.

Just because Kavanaugh said birthright citizenship could be overturned by legislation is irrelevant when a majority of Justices alread ruled otherwise.

[Ilikepurple]

45. I think birthright citizenship is safe for the time being but the makeup of 5-4 SCOTUS ruling is rarely irrelevant

The Court itself could change its ruling in the future. The makeup of the Court may change,or a new argument may be made, or perhaps a Justice just changes their mind? One key retirement and appointment could change the landscape of this issue as it did Roe v Wade. Constitutional guarantees are rarely that. To some degree our rights exist at the whim of five black robes. Irrelevant? No, but probably not something to worry about at this time.

[appmanga]

5. Trump is a dumbass...

...so there's no news here.

[31j20b3]

6. Well he and congress can start movement on a Constitutional Amendment

That avenue is open to everyone But being so difficult to achieve it typically isn't pursued past the ejaculation of its premise

[Whip-poor-will]

7. Yo rapist

The SC decision isn't some 13 year old

Or

What about epstein,epstein, epstein ?????

[mwmisses4289]

9. Anybody pointed out to dumbfuck that

under his eo 4 of his 5 kids would have to be deported immediately?

[dave99]

16. as if it gives a fuck

[FakeNoose]

19. Isn't the EO only for newborns?

They wouldn't have any standing to deport American-born children from BEFORE the date of the Executive Order. It's just for babies born after Chump's order. But never mind, SCOTUS just shot this down anyway.

[mwmisses4289]

23. Ah, you are probably right.

The way he was carrying on about it, I was under the impression he wanted to have it retroactive all the way back to anyone born after the Civil war.

[Cheezoholic]

33. That one brain cell or amoeba or whatever it is in there that makes his jowls flap does want that lol n/t

[GreenWave]

43. It could be the green algae talking too.

[standingtall]

34. Nah your initial thought was right

When Trump threatened to deport U.S. born citizens he didn't like or disagreed with him he wasn't joking. This executive order was just a trial balloon for that. If the Supreme would've been so willing to ignore the plain text of the constitution in this case you can bet they would've done the same for future birthright citizenship cases too. Giving the President the power to disappear anyone he doesn't like through deportation born here or not.

Saw someone else use that in response to his bullshit and I think it will be my go-to from now on.

[paleotn]

17. Stupid!!!!

Apparently shithead doesn’t realize how all that works and how hard amending the Constitution really is. Blue states….”Go fuck your self, Donnie. Ya rapey pig!”

[Kablooie]

18. Congress can override the constitution.

I’ll bet there will be a case about this before too long.
Conservatives long for absolute power. They hate being limited by rules they didn’t write themselves.

[dweller]

38. Congress can override the constitution

No , it cannot


✌🏻

[Danmel]

20. My neaderthal congressman is ready to vote to end birthright citizenship

Racist moron.

[SheltieLover]

22. Quiet, slob

25. Why can't this pox on humanity just slither away?

[eezapata]

26. Should someone tell him?

or maybe just let him think that to keep him busy

[SergeStorms]

32. Look boy.....

a nice stick. Fetch!

He has the attention span of a fruit fly. He'll get distracted within a minute or two.

A belated welcome to DU as well, eezapata!

[SergeStorms]

27. You can't spell "Congress," Donny.

You've ignored them, but now you want to make an end-run around the Extreme Court with them?

Go change your diaper.

[City Lights]

28. Pedo knows nothing about everything.

Someone needs to take his phone away and stuff a sock in his big mouth.

[progressoid]

29. He's preaching to what's left of his choir.

He's trying to motivate them to come out in the midterms.

[Deuxcents]

30. If he's so good with tests and ace them all, let's see if he can pass a citizenship test new citizens have to pass

Or, a history test about how we came to be since he wants to celebrate the 250 years. Anyone wanting to be elected to public office should know how our system works..just basic common sense says if ya don’t know how ya got here, how can you know how to go ahead.

[dweller]

46. He pays ppl to take his tests for him

But it’s unlikely anyone in his misadministration could pass it either

😐



✌🏻

[Cheezoholic]

31. Isn't that special ;) n/t

[La Coliniere]

35. I doubt he could even spell "unwieldy" lol

His new spellchecker, Natalie Harp, must’ve been nearby when he wrote that.

[ShazzieB]

40. I'm sure you're right.

I refuse to believe that word is even in his rapidly shrinking vocabulary!

[Cirsium]

36. Absurd

85% of the population, over 220 million people, were born in the country. They are US citizens by virtue of being born in the US. All have ancestors who were not born in the US.

None of this has anything to do with birth right citizenship. No one is talking about stripping 220 million people of their citizenship. It is about white nationalism, and we shouldn't pretend that it is about anything else.

Right here the other day I saw someone post "I agree that people shouldn't hop across the border to have a baby." Sure. Those women in Norway go into labor and then hop on a plane to the US. Oh, wait. It isn't Norwegians they are worried about, is it? This insanity isn't about foreigners, either. It is Black and brown people who are being targeted in various ways, no matter their status, no matter where they were born or where their parents were born.

[Nasruddin]

37. If that's the case

We can fix up the Supreme Court and get some fitness-for-office tests for constitutionally-defined office holders!

[ShazzieB]

39. Oops, somebody just told Baby Donnie how constitutional amendments work!

[ColoringFool]

41. SCOTUS to TRUMP: "And we'll just vote that unconstitutional act down!"

Boundless hatred have I.

[Initech]

42. The Heritage Foundation needs to be fucking destroyed.

They are corrupt and evil AF, and they are greatly influencing this administration. No circle of hell is good enough for these psychopaths.

[Jimvanhise]

44. TRUMP HAS NEVER EVEN READ THE CONSTITUTION

Only a constitutional convention can change the constitution. Republicans have threatened one for years but they never went through with it. Trump is either lying or has been misinformed, or both.
