Birthright Citizenship Case

He won't win this one.

Not a chance in hell.
 
Looks like Trump is poised to win this one. Reports are calling it a 6–3 decision, with Justice Barrett writing the opinion. I haven’t read the ruling yet, but the early takeaway is big: the Court appears to be reaffirming that lower courts don’t have oversight authority over the Executive Branch. If that’s right, the left’s habit of using friendly district judges to bog down a sitting president may finally be coming to an end, and not a moment too soon.
I certainly hope you're right on this one. Even if he wins it will only be in effect moving forward, the Constitution forbids ex post facto actions.
 
This case depends on how it was presented and how it's worded - which I have not yet seen. The original purpose of this part of the 14th amendment was to make sure that freed slaves had all the rights of citizenship (championed by Republicans, but opposed by the majority of Democrats).

No other country in the world has a rule that any baby born in their country is automatically a citizen. This has been a Democrat subversion of the stated inent of the amendment.

This needs to be done away with.

It won't be.
 
Yep, they granted Cert. The result should be the end of birthright citizenship as the left understands it to be.

I'm not sure it's going to come out any differently than Roe v. Wade and the "clarification" decisions that followed it.

I guess we'll have to see. To me, it's simple. The American Indians not taxed, though being born on American soil, never had citizenship until 1924 when the Snyder Act was passed. Why? Because they weren't politically subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.
