🚨 HOLY SH*T — Justice Alito just went full scorched earth on the Supreme Court’s birthright citizenship ruling: “In my judgment the court has made a mistake that will seriously affect the country’s future.”
Then he dropped the hammer:
“Suppose a person’s ONLY connection to this country is that he was born here to a mother who was present just long enough to give birth… and then quickly returned to her native country.
Suppose that country is a strategic adversary or enemy of the United States.
Suppose the child is raised to hate America and never even visits…
According to this Court, that person is a U.S. citizen. He gets a U.S. passport, can enter and leave freely, and cannot be stripped of citizenship — even if he plots to harm this country.”
This is insane.
The Founders never intended this.

Rep. Roy on the SCOTUS birthright ruling: "This Congress better fix this, because I have no interest in continuing to fund the operations of a government that has been undermined by this United States Supreme Court."
The dumbest thing I've heard is that a baby deserves to be an American citizen if that baby's parents broke the law, illegally entered our country and had a baby here. That is so obviously idiotic. paraphrasing @mattvanswol
Meet the dumbest, or most conniving, person in the nation: US Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett
Chinese birth tourists fly in, have a baby, fly home, and never come back.
That child gets a Social Security number and gets to vote.
It will mail ballots from China.
It will collect Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.
All the benefits with none of the allegiance.
That is not what the framers of the Fourteenth Amendment intended.
They wrote it to give citizenship to the children of freed slaves. Not to hand it out to the world.
Thanks for having me, @AndrewKolvet.
A child born in America to a family that has been in America for 10 generations has the same citizenship as a child born in America to a family that snuck over the border 10 minutes ago.
Insane.
The framers of the 14th Amendment were very clear about Birthright Citizenship:
"This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens..."
The Supreme Court just abandoned the Constitution, folks.
@AP This is just bullsh*t. The SUPREME COURT has just overstepped. It’s not up to them it’s up to the citizens. This should have been put to a VOTE by the people.
