The constitutional language is clear and not open to interpretation.

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

Anyone; other than children of foreign diplomats, born in the US is a citizen. There is no other reasonable reading.

If SCOTUS sides with Trump, all hope is lost the Court will finally show some credibility.

No dissents to the grant of certiorari were noted. onenote Dec 2025 #15

SCOTUS already granted certiorari months ago for the injunction issue (with vociferous dissents from the 3 liberals). SunSeeker Dec 2025 #29

You are mistaken. onenote Dec 2025 #32

It is you who is mistaken. There is absolutely no basis to suggest that Sotomayor, Jackson and Kagan have flipped. SunSeeker Dec 2025 #33

I'm absolutely, positively not wrong. onenote Dec 2025 #35

Sotomayor, Jackson and Kagan have not flipped. You are dead wrong in suggesting they did. nt SunSeeker Dec 2025 #36

Wow. Just wow. onenote Dec 2025 #38

You started this be saying no dissents were noted. What was your point other than to suggest they flipped? SunSeeker Dec 2025 #39

My point was to make clear no one had noted a dissent. Nothing more or less. onenote Dec 2025 #40

So you just made a pointless post. Got it. nt SunSeeker Dec 2025 #41

And you stand by your lie about when cert was granted. Got it. nt onenote Dec 2025 #43

I didn't lie about when cert was granted. I'm not the one telling lies here. nt SunSeeker Dec 2025 #44

Yeah you did. onenote Dec 2025 #45

No I didn't. As I said, the prior ruling, with 3 dissents, involved the exact same Executive Order. SunSeeker Dec 2025 #46

You said certiorari had been granted. It hadn't and you have to know that by now. Not even the same case. onenote Dec 2025 #47

The cases are all about the same birthright citizenship EO. It's all a bullshit game by the SCOTUS conservatives. SunSeeker Dec 2025 #48
