he tries to counter. He was all but yelling at the SCOTUS female justices when scrambling to try to argue his points. I know he has a vocal condition, but damned. That does not cause him to run off at 5x normal speed, but I guess RWers think that makes a bad argument reasonable.

Still doesn't have anything legitimate to say.

To clearly shut it down, imo

Intimidating scowl

Heritage Foundation faux Christians....

We have been suffering for a long time from these people control/power grab.

I wish people had paid more attention to The Heritage Foundation than to AIPAC in the last election.

AIPAC is small potatoes.

THF? Evil entity that has played the long game for DECADES. It is fifty years old - and has been insidious and evil from day one. Know why we support Israel in the modern day? THF who are waiting for the End Times.

Yes, Israel is a bully, but this is happening in another part of the world and both sides need a reckoning because when is it too much?

Heritage Foundation is happening AT HOME

Either way, AIPAC ended up winning anyway because too many people were obsessed with it. Hello, they also support the GOP...duh.....???

Which is interesting considering that that language is no where in the 14th amendment. The 14th amendment is pretty explicit--maybe one of the most explicit amendments--that if you're born in the US you are a citizen.

For international jet- setters and their pregnant family members who want dual citizenship for the spawn to be able to live, work, or play in the US with the benefits of multiple citizenships and without having to go through a naturalization "loyalty oath" hassle.

of wealthy Russian oligarchs, who were put up and pampered (at a profit) in posh Trump Miami resorts, to give birth to dual citizenship babies. (Look it up.)

But not to worry. There will be some hocus pocus 'loophole'... correction... 'exceptions' for them.

Like that old commercial once said, "membership has its PRIVILEGES."

That said, Sauer sounds like a complete imbecile who doesn’t even belong at the kiddie table.

And yet, I don’t hold my breath when it comes to this corrupt, illegitimate court.

That one was SUPPOSED to be a slam-dunk, 9-0 decision against The Felon, given a tightly-reasoned, well-written appellate decision against him from the DC circuit. The six Nazis took up his appeal, and handed down one of the most disastrous decisions in legal history. I'm quite suspicious of waht they will do with this one, given their recent history....

argument in a case challenging birthright citizenship, you ask?

Because TRUMP and his fascists want to establish the premise (under guise and pretense of it being about immigration) that only descendants of the original colonists should be considered US citizens by right of birth.

That was the original argument, was it not?

Trump says birthright citizenship was only for the 'babies of slaves.' Why a Supreme Court case testing that theory matters for Black Americans - The Grio via MSN

3 years after the Civil War ended.

There was already massive Potato-famine Irish immigration ongoing at that time. If they wanted to exclude Immigrant's children and just make it for freed Af-Ams, they'd have done so.

The entire case is mortifying.

and also of the arguments against birthright citizenship for Black people in the 1860's.

But yes, mortifying for a variety of reasons. From the article I referenced:

Alvin Tillery is slippery-sloping this. I'm just tired of slippery-sloping. They're not coming for native-born black Americans next.

your second reply pretty much confirms my understanding of your previous one.

I merely disagree.

Their goal is to question, put into doubt, and challenge the legitimacy of every Trump/ MAGA/ GOP non voter - to disempower and disenfranchise us 'by any means necessary' - especially Black voters -

whether via attacks on citizenship, eligibility, voter registration drives, mail in voting, drop boxes, location of polling places, etc.etc.

The immigration angle is merely a smoke screen. That's the slippery slope.

Denying it or dismissing these concerns however, is your prerogative.

There's definitely a slope. Trumpists do want to de-naturalize citizens if they can.

destabilize, disenfranchise, and disempower. Disavow and DEHUMANIZE even.

And it's fairly apparent in everything they say or do.

In reality, of course, they'll just deliver some half-witted jabberwocky in comparison to the classic decision in Wong Kim Ark and feel very proud that they're such self-impressed asswipes
