Again, I don’t think it was a coincidence that the 14th was right after the 13th that freed the slaves.  THIS is what the 14th had to do with.  I know which way 3 Justices will vote.  Why?  Because that’s why they were put there.  You know — to do the left’s bidding.  This last Justice was really bad and really telling!  DEI at its finest!!  We want this individual to know what the Constitution says when she doesn’t know what a woman is!  Sad!!

I stand corrected. I fixed it.

What we know is there were at least 4 Justices that believed the Government had a solid case. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have agreed to hear the case at all.

The arguments are very interesting. Sauer is kind of hard to listen to with a raspy type voice & very fast speech. 😂 

… or they wanted to put the issue to rest.

True. Sauer’s rebuttal just chewed up the ACLU argument. Wow! He pointed out almost every case they referenced was BEFORE the 14th, and every case he cited was after.

Still don’t know if it will be enough though. Gorsuch’s comment was troubling about accepting the ACLU argument and making a quick ruling. I really thought he would be more on the textualism/originalism side. Now, I’m not so sure.

Speaking of the mental giant:  Putting a potato in her seat, we’d get the same responses.  🤦‍♂️

Listening to the oral arguments and the questions asked from the bench, I predict a 7-2 decision affirming birthright citizenship. Chief Justice Roberts, Justice Sonia Sotomayor, Justice Elena Kagan, Justice Neil Gorsuch, Justice Brett Kavanaugh, Justice Amy Coney Barrett, and Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson for the majority, and Justice Clarence Thomas and Justice Samuel Alito dissenting.  We'll see in June or July when the decision and written opinions are released.

What's interesting--that most people don't think about--is that a child born by someone here temporarily is a U.S. citizen--according to the current situation. That person can become a future POTUS.

Hypothetical:

A Chinese birth tourism agency recruits a Chinese female to have a baby born in the U.S. That baby then leaves the U.S., grows up in Communist China for all their lives until they are 21. Then, they move back to the U.S. At 35, they file to run for President of the United States.

They would qualify. They would be a natural U.S. citizen, they would have lived in the U.S. for the last 14 years, and they would be 35 years old.

That's exactly what China was doing.  I heard they were sending these commies back at 18.  It's destruction from within.
