  • Live Updates: Trump’s Effort to Restrict Birthright Citizenship ‘Blatantly Unconstitutional,’ Judge Says

    Jump

  • They think lots of stupid illogical things. But here in the real world, immigrants are not soldiers, and they’re not ever treated as soldiers by the legal system, so they are, in fact under the jurisdiction of the United States.

    Yet another case of Shroedinger’s immigrants. They are simultaneously fleeing their “s***hole” home country for purely economic reasons (not political oppression) while being so loyal to their home country that they will spend their entire lives raising children in a country they are invading.

  • Invading enemy soldiers are not born in the United States. That’s the other important part of the sentence. I don’t think the major issue is pregnant invading soldiers. To be clear, what I meant is that if you have embassy staff with diplomatic immunity and they have kids while in the US, those children do not get birthright citizenship, because as children of diplomats, they are not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.

  • If they’re not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, then they can’t arrest them. That language is clearly meant to exclude diplomats.

  • So did the Supreme Court. But that only applies for Republicans.

  • Nope. Even off of consulate grounds, diplomatic immunity holds. It wouldn't be worth much if you were trapped in the embassy.

  • Yes, if they arent' subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, you can't touch them.

    It's obvious to anybody not deliberately misreading the text that this is meant to apply to people like foreign diplomats, who really are not subject to the jurisdiction of the US. But then deliberately misreading the text is the specialty of the Roberts court, so who knows what they'd decide. Whatever some billionaires pays them to decide, I guess.

  • This can’t be changed by executive order. Only a constitutional amendment can end birthright citizenship. There’s no debate there. If the supreme court were to side with Trump on this, it would only delegitimize it even further.

    I think it's pretty clear they don't care anymore. They have power, they've done what they need for the Republicans to stay in power forever, so they can stop pretending to be impartial and just rubber-stamp every conservative wet dream while thumbing their noses at the American people and saying "what are you doing to do about it, losers?"

  • Democrats in denial over Trump defeat, voters say: ‘Haven’t learned the lessons’

    Jump

  • That’s true. But the Republicans certainly won’t either. The Democrats haven’t earned American Muslims’ trust, but to run into the arms of the party that loudly and constantly demonizes Muslims at every opportunity as a result makes no sense.

    I would understand a lot of people in Michigan disengaging from politics (although that would probably objectively make their lives worse in the long run). I can’t see them supporting Republicans though.

  • Maybe that will happen. But I think it’s far more likely that Trump will end the genocide by letting Netanyahu finish it. And I don’t really see his administration doing anything other than alienating American Muslims, since he’s certainly not going to protect them from his followers. He’ll probably egg them on.

    That said, Biden could have at least pretended to care about Gaza, and didn’t, so a lot of Michigan voters are pretty fed up with the Democrats, and maybe they’ll throw their support wholeheartedly behind the Republicans. I don’t see how that will get them anything they want, but they wouldn’t be the first, and they won’t be the last, group of voters who steadfastly vote against their own self interest.

  • The idea that any meda outlet will even mention that children and hardworking families are being rounded up is adorable. The billionaires bought all the networks and newspapers for a reason - so that there'd be no way to embarrass the Great and Powerful Trump.

  • In a recent interview, he admitted he could not restore grocery prices to 2019 levels without a recession

    His tariffs will bring that recession pretty quickly, so he may accidentally fulfill his promise.

    Probably because South Korea is a close military ally.

  • He’s not actually president yet, but it seems everybody has just decided to pretend he is. Biden still has the power to call a drone strike and take out Trump with absolutely no legal repercussions for another month, as per the Supreme Court.

    Wouldn’t it be funny if the government shut down so completely that congress couldn’t actually convene to certify the election? That would be fun turnabout.
