My thing about birthright citizenship and “originalism” is like… the jurists of Wong Kim Ark in 1898 WERE ADULTS DURING THE RATIFICATION OF THE 14TH AMENDMENT. SO THEY KNEW THE ORIGINAL PUBLIC MEANING AND TOLD YOU WHAT IT WAS IN WONG KIM ARK!!!

“Guzmán’s daughter was still in the NICU, unable to eat or breathe independently. The doctors had planned a meeting to review the baby’s prognosis and care plans… As Guzmán went to buckle her seatbelt, she looked out the window and noticed they were surrounded.”

Can't wait to be as disappointed as I was watching Superman (2025)!

HOW ARE THE BUCS LOSING TO THE SAINTS I'M GONNA GO CRAZY

My Bucs are barely beating the Saints, we're cooked.

This will Jokerfy me.

Maybe Todd Bowles won't embarrass us today! ::2-10 Saints get opening drive touchdown:: Ah, well. Nevertheless.

Same.

This guy gets it.

Know your rights. Protect your neighbors. New York is — and always will be — a city for all immigrants.

don't worry, john roberts says this is a legitimate exercise of presidential power and if we did anything to curb it, we would be robbing the executive of the energy he needs to do his job

Had a crisis in my marriage just now when my wife said she pronounces 'ostrich' as 'ostridge' and I don't know if there's an easy way to bounce back from that.

Nothing to fear, except getting your car windows smashed, or getting drive-by pepper-sprayed, or being tackled to the ground, or being cuffed and disappeared for a few days, or

“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore.“ We’ll take the Statue of Liberty & these new U.S. citizens. You can keep Stephen Miller and Donald Trump, and their small, cruel, heartless racism. www.wgbh.org/news/local/2...

The only time Article 5 of the NATO Treaty was invoked was to defend us, not for us to defend Europe. European soldiers and civilians died fighting with us and working next to us in Afghanistan. Europe was not attacked on September 11, 2001.

The tell that this entire debate is bullshit is that if birthright citizenship were thrown out, the only possible fix to restore it would be to ratify an amendment with the exact language as the current 14th Amendment.

There has been no debate here among constitutional scholars, historians, political scientists, anyone with a pulse really. Any telling you that this very straightforward point, one that has been universally accepted for a century and a half, is now an "abstruse" issue is just a liar and a hack.

I'm gonna pop

This is pretty great.

My contempt for a large number of my fellow citizens knows no bounds

The US government is summarily executing people on a weekly basis without telling the American people any of their names or presenting any proof of their guilt, for alleged crimes that do not carry the death penalty in the US.

I hope to god that the phrase "Kavanaugh stops" sticks for the rest of U.S. history. Let that be that P.O.S.'s legacy.

Brett Kavanaugh sees no problem with this woman being forced to do this every day for the rest of her life

It’s clear from the video this woman had just come to the park to play with her child. She said as much and was upset that there were masked men with guns in the park. Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino calls the woman an “activist” and Andy Ngo says the woman was using her child as a “human shield.”

this is your fault, Bill personally, specifically, your fault you could have blocked this guy, you more than anyone had the power, and you chose not to do it you own this and I hope you choke on it

The entire debate over birthright citizenship is anti-constitutional because the purpose, intent, and text of the 14th Amendment were designed to foreclose any argument about who counts as an American citizen.

Profound admiration Teen brothers patrol the Chicago suburbs to track ICE agents and film raids

What exactly is this force that compels these people to do the most asinine thing possible at just the wrong moment?

This is a message from an official, tax-payer funded White House account, written by government employees barred by law from engaging in partisan politics

Agree with this thread. Worth reading in full. 25 years ago John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, and AC Barrett all worked on GWBush's 2000 Florida recount team. What they're doing now is, if anything, more nakedly partisan. Fire-breathing dissent by Kagan, with Sotomayor and Jackson.

The issue becomes, if one does not become jaded, one must go insane, because the human heart and mind are not designed to see all this, know all this, feel all this, and then do nothing for nearly a year until uncertain electoral consequences.

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

The boat was split in half. 9 men were dead. 2 more clung to a floating piece of wreckage and tried desperately to flip it over for 41 minutes straight. There was no possible way they were going anywhere. Then they were killed in cold blood by the U.S. military.

The fact that both the unsigned 6–3 majority opinion and Alito's concurrence (for Alito, Thomas, and Gorsuch) open with a reference to California's redistricting leaves one with the strong impression that this decision, like California's, is about tit for tat.

The constitutional right for Republicans to win elections no matter how hostile the electorate is against them

Summation for the United States at Nuremberg, Justice Robert Jackson, 1946

“We know that even the head of the state has the same limits to his senses and to the hours of his days as do lesser men. He must rely on others to be his eyes and ears as to most that goes on in a great empire. Other legs must run his errands; other hands must execute his plans.”

Justice Kagan, writing for the three liberals: "The majority today loses sight of its proper role. ... We know better, the majority declares today. I cannot think of a reason why."

The Supreme Court is nearly irretrievably broken. (I say 'nearly,' because sure, vacancies could only pop up during Dem administrations, but they won't, but even so still non-zero)

The strikes on September 2 were: - Within Venezuelan waters - A good 2,500 km from Florida - In a small speedboat Even if this boat was absolutely loaded with drugs (which there's no proof of!) there is no physical way a small speedboat was navigating 2,500 km, through the Caribbean, to US soil

I cannot imagine the level of moral bankruptcy to describe the actions of people whose boat has just been hit by a missile from nowhere (this was the FIRST such strike) and who were most likely making a desperate attempt not to drown in the ocean as trying to "stay in the fight."

I like how Cotton is just like, yup, I watched a war crime, let me describe it to you. And I'm fine with that.

GOP Rep. Mike Turner: "This activity that's happening in the Caribbean where they are hitting these boats -- these individuals if they were captured and tried and convicted, they would be guilty of criminal activity for which they're not subject to capital punishment. These people are being killed."

Jacob Frey on Minneapolis's Somali community: "These are people that have benefitted Minneapolis in a really beautiful way, and to just go after a whole community indiscriminately -- it's unconstitutional, it's flat out un-American, but I guess that's what we've become accustomed to w/ Donald Trump"

Jacob Frey: "If they're just indiscriminately going after people, due process is violated, habeas corpus is violated, the entire Constitution in and of itself is being thrown in the garbage. So you want to use the term 'garbage,' that's exactly what Trump is doing right now to the Constitution."

This is such horseshit reasoning I actually can't believe it. He and his advisor made the determination that two guys who just saw their comrades blown to hell and who are struggling for their lives wanted to continue the drug run? How did you make that determination, Professor X?!

They are beating people who maybe once had a broken taillight and sending them to foreign slave prisons while freeing the worst fraudsters and every corrupt pol. The juxtaposition is so stark and appalling.

Fuckin blood-boiling, folks.
