3 States of Logic
Logic exists in three states, Current State, Ideal State, and Nominal State.
Current State Logic (CSL) pertains to what we are dealing with in the here and now. Because of it's real cost implications, it is the most important state of logic. CSL argues reason from the current state of things. "Given the way things are now, it's a good idea to own a firearm."
Ideal State Logic (ISL) pertains to the ideal state of things. Because it is largely a theoretical ideal with less immediate implications, it has a lesser weight to it than CSL does. "In a perfect world, we wouldn't need firearms."
Nominal State Logic (NSL) is a theoretical state of logic where CSL and ISL have become one and the same. CSL takes precedent over ISL, but ISL always sets the destination. If NSL is achieved, it resolves both CSL and ISL simultaneously. "Nobody needs firearms anymore, but there is also no point in taking them away, because nobody is getting hurt by them."
If we understand this, we will see that humanity is gridlocked in scenarios where CSL is butting heads with ISL, and this should never be the case, because CSL always takes precedent.
@ElvisTheAlienTV Your sweeping generalization fallacy is an excellent example of stupid internet discourse.
Maybe you should learn how to apply logic and sound reasoning before you begin expecting it from others.
@CensoredTube I'm not so sure. It doesn't look like it was a competition.
One guy was on a mission. The rest were just exploring outside their comfort zone.
There's nothing in the Federalist Papers about it because the 14th Ammendment wasn't created until much later. It came about after the US Civil War. It was created to give a path to citizenship for all of the freed slaves. This is the reason for it's vague wording.
As written, the Supreme Court probably made the correct call. They don't create law, they interpret it. And it is hard to interpret this any other way that how they did.
It is the duty of the Legislative Branch to fix this, not the Judicial Branch. It's their mess.
I'd argue that the Judicial Branch, namely the Supreme Court, should have powers to better deal with exploitations and loopholes in the temporary term.
The Judicial Branch should be able to block exploitation in the short term and force the Legislative Branch to revisit the written law on the matter. That doesn't help us here, but with a government of loyalists, it would work.
I know I wanted the Supreme Court to shut Birthright citizenship ship down. And it should be shut down. It was meant to incorporate freed slaves not to foster invasion and fuel a birthright tourism industry. The Legislative Branch of the 1800s lacked the mental fortitude to see their folly.
@EdKrassen The Eagle was America's symbol before the rise of Germany's socialist party. Your association fallacy is unfounded. Your consistently poor reasoning needs to be addressed. Don't live your entire life that way.
