Trump's Second Term

[W.D.Clinger]

(Ninja'ed by @turingtest.)

5-4? That was too damn close.

I keep seeing 6 to 3. Is Fux News spraying again?

Birthright citizenship was upheld by a 6-3 vote, but Justice Kavanaugh confused the issue by concurring in part while also dissenting in part.

Quoting from the 194 pages of the decision and the various opinions:

ROBERTS, C. J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which SOTOMAYOR, KAGAN, BARRETT, and JACKSON, JJ., joined. JACKSON, J., filed a concurring opinion, in which SOTOMAYOR, J., joined as to the introduction and Part I. KAVANAUGH, J., filed an opinion concurring in the judgment and dissenting in part. THOMAS, J., filed a dissenting opinion, in which GORSUCH, J., joined. ALITO, J., and GORSUCH, J., filed dissenting opinions.

Kavanaugh upheld birthright citizenship (hence the 6-3), but wrote a dissent saying birthright citizenship was a consequence of federal law, not the Constitution, which will of course encourage attempts to overrule the decision through federal legislation.

Edited to add:
On page 24 of the majority opinion (page 28 of the PDF), written by Justice Roberts, footnote 6 takes this swipe at Kavanaugh:

⁶ JUSTICE KAVANAUGH proposes a similar ad hoc exception to his own interpretation of the Citizenship Clause. Under his rule, the Clause generally does not promise citizenship to children whose parents are “not U. S. citizens.” See post, at 9 (opinion concurring in judgment and dissenting in part). Yet it must grant citizenship under the “facts and circumstances” presented in Wong Kim Ark—even though Wong’s parents were not U. S. citizens. Post, at 5, n. 3. Like the exception proposed by JUSTICE ALITO, JUSTICE KAVANAUGH’s exception is at war with his supposedly “unifying” principle of the Clause. Post, at 9.

That footnote appears in the context of the majority opinion's swipe at the dissent written by Alito and the dissent written by Thomas and joined by Gorsuch.

I would like to congratulate President Xi, and the Great Country of China, on their massive Birthright Citizenship WIN!
President DONALD J. TRUMP

Massive what? Where are these queues of pregnant Chinese women at the airports? Are they anything like the queues to get into your State Fair?

You know how long this has been the law, right? You realise this is not a change in the law. It's a staying the same as it's been since the eighteen hundreds.

One of the most destructive and outrageous decisions in the long history of the Supreme Court. American citizenship is not the birthright of the world. It belongs only and solely to Americans. No provision of the Constitution can be read to require our national self-obliteration

Of course Clarence Thomas wrote the dissent. As soon as I read the headline about the decision, my first thought was: "I bet Thomas dissented." Some things are just that predictable.

It's great to see him there!
As long as he's there, he isn't trying to lure Greenlandic kids to Louisiana with promises of chocolate-chip cookies!

It can;t go on the way it is without the the country collapsing into chaos and violence.

Nonsense. There's still a long way to go before that happens. Most people prefer to keep the food distribution and economic system going. If there's widespread hunger and hyperinflation, THEN the country will collapse. We're not going to have riots over transgender athletes and algae-filled pools.

The idea that a pregnant woman from Guatemala can sprint across the US border, have the baby 30 minutes after arriving here, and the baby is magically a citizen of the US, is one of the most retarded and indefensible notions ever conceived

"FREE TINA!" became the rallying cry of the Republican Party over the past two years.
Tina Peters just came to the White House to thank me for getting her released from prison in Colorado. She was put there because she found Election Fraud, but instead of arresting the people that committed the Fraud, they arrested her!
They gave her nine years in jail, and she served two, much time in solitary confinement along with hardened criminals and murderers, and then I got the Republican Party into gear, and she was released.
Tina is 70-years-old, suffered a major bout with cancer, but hopefully is now cancer free. What she went through should never happen to anyone again.
Just think of it, she caught the Democrats cheating, and they put her in jail for Voter Fraud. They didn't want her out there speaking to the Media. She knows that the Voting Machines are RIGGED, that the Mail In Ballots are a DISASTER, and that our Elections are very Dangerous and Corrupt at a time when, with the Threat of Communism, we must be very wise and careful! It was an Honor to have lunch with her.
I was fortunate, my Vote in 2024 was TOO BIG TO RIG, but they tried.
There wasn't a thing they could do about it, but not everyone is in that position.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
President DONALD J. TRUMP

The Mexicans will soon be offering sprinting services. Bring the woman 10 feet from the fence. Catapult her over.

Everyone knows that women in the third trimester have extraordinary athleticism and stamina.

Everyone knows that women in the third trimester have extraordinary athleticism and stamina.

I think it's a side effect of the patience and excellent sense of humour they develope at that time

So..he wasn't expecting anybody at all? He wasn't that far off since the minimum for "people" is two.

The biggest and most consequential Decision issued by the Court, by far, is the Slaughter Case, which overturned the very famous Humphrey’s Executor Rule.
This whole concept of “Power” has been fought over for nearly 100 years, going all the way back to Franklin Delanor Roosevelt, where a large slice of his Power was taken away. He fought to regain it, even wanting to “pack the Court,” but was unsuccessful in doing so.
This Decision gives tremendous additional Power back to the Presidency, where it belongs. It is an Honor to be the sitting President who, after all these years, WON this very important, and hard fought, Case.
We had other good Victories, too, and we also had the Birthright Citizenship loss, which we will work to correct in Congress, but the big SLAUGHTER, was SLAUGHTER.
The Republican Party was treated very fairly by the United States Supreme Court.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!
