IMHO - Today's Supreme Court hearing on Birthright Citizenship will lead to Civil War

[maxrandb]

The "press" is already setting the stage. My local news "media-splained" it this morning.

Don't believe your lying eyes. Today's hearing is NOT about whether the 14TH Amendment is "constitutional" (wrap your head around that), or whether the 14TH Amendment says what it says. Hell, it's not even about what the word is, "is".

No! What they "really" are deciding is whether Federal District Judges can issue injunctions that "preserve constitutional protections" for ALL persons in the United States, or if their injunctions will "preserve constitutional protections" ONLY for "persons" in their states, or jurisdictions.

I have no doubt how, at least 5 of the 6 justices of the Confederate States, will rule...do you?

Don't fret "subjects". They will surely wrap up their decision in flowery legaleese like; "not regarding the underlying merits of the case", "the limited scope", "the standing", "the power of the executive", "the separation of powers" or "what's the harm in letting constitutional protections worm their way through 18-24 months of arguments, appeals and rulings".

It's strictly a "both sides" issue, right? I heard the media spokesmodel explaining that there were only 30 such injunctions over the first 3 years of President Bidens term, but 39 in Donnie Dipshits first 3 months.

I think we can all agree that trying to provide some debt relief to student loan borrowers is JUST THE SAME as snatching people off the streets for a one-way trip to a foreign death prison.

The "court" must treat authoritarian dictators with "deference".

When they decide that these injunction DON'T apply "nationally", that will clear the way for chaos, secession and war.

If you live in a "red state", a child born on US soil WON'T be a citizen". If in a "blue state"...maybe you are! The harm that would cause is akin to the first artillery barrage on Fort Sumpter.

When a president wants to break things, he must be able to do so quickly, right?

Taken to its extreme, you could be snatched off the streets and renditioned to a Salvadoran Death Camp because of a tattoo, but that's OK...your case may make it through the courts in a couple of years.

What's the "harm" in waiting.
