Justice Jackson Rips Justice Thomas In Scathing Birthright Citizenship Concurrence
Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson called out Justice Clarence Thomas and the Trump administration in a sharp concurring opinion in the birthright citizenship case on Tuesday.
The court's decision Tuesday followed President Donald Trump's potentially seismic executive order on his first day in office last year that declared children born to people who are in the U.S. illegally or temporarily are not American citizens. The court upheld birthright citizenship in a 6-3 ruling Tuesday. Justices Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch joined Thomas in ruling against upholding it.
The proposed crackdown threatened to upend the Constitution's 14th Amendment, which states that "all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the States wherein they reside."
Echoing the Trump administration's sentiments, Thomas argued in his dissent that the 14th Amendment "was designed and understood to secure equal rights for the freed blacks but has instead been repurposed for political projects that the Reconstruction Congress did not support."

SO many times to prove what a HORSE'S ASS he is - and to think that former President Biden had to serve on the committee that recommended him - I'm sure Joe has had some seriously ugly dreams about that moment in his otherwise outstanding career as an outstanding American serving his country.
