@JustinVerlander Your 2011 season was one of the Greatest Ever! You pitched outstanding the last 2 months for the Giants last year! I was hoping you would get the 300 (Jamie Moyer pitched until 50 & you gotta pass him for Wins!) I'll always hope you come back!Thanks JV for all the great memories!
The best response to the Court's devastatingly wrong ruling on birthright citizenship is more deportations, a more secure border, and more prosecutions of foreign criminals.
I will continue to work to give the Admin the resources needed to deport illegals & protect Arkansans.
Kavanaugh is telling Congress they can pass a bill to fix birthright citizenship and it wouldn't violate the 14th Amendment
Just add this to the SAVE Act and pass it all
The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that states can keep boys from competing in girls sports. That’s a no brainer decision. But 23 states still allow boys to compete in girls sports. This decision doesn’t change that. And all three liberals said boys should be able to compete as girls.
The birthright citizenship decision is wrong. By soil citizenship doesn’t exist in most of the world’s democracies. It encourages and incentivizes illegal behavior. This ruling will make the illegal behavior even more encouraged and incentivized.
The 14th amendment was adopted by more than 2/3rds of the members of Congress and thereafter ratified by 3/4ths of the states. Yet, nowhere can the Court or its proponents point to all those elected representatives at the federal and state level who argued for birthright citizenship for the children of aliens — illegal aliens of all matter! In fact, it wasn’t even on their collective mind. They were dealing with Reconstruction, which was going poorly.
No, this is not a constitutional decision. It’s a cowardly decision. An abomination giving constitutional protection to what is illegal conduct.
Today’s birthright citizenship decision turned on one fatal move:
The majority collapsed political jurisdiction into territorial jurisdiction.
That’s it in a nutshell.
Everyone inside the US is subject to our laws. Illegal aliens, tourists, visa overstays, foreign criminals — all of them.
That is territorial jurisdiction.
But the Citizenship Clause did not say “within the jurisdiction.” It says “subject to the jurisdiction.”
Equal Protection protects persons within the jurisdiction.
Citizenship asks who is subject to the jurisdiction.
Protection is not membership.
The dissents understood that distinction. The Citizenship Clause was about political belonging — allegiance, jurisdiction, and membership in the American people — not mere physical presence.
The majority effectively read the two phrases as one.
A clause about who belongs to the political community became a rule about who happens to be standing here.
Not because Congress passed that rule.
Not because the text clearly commands it.
But because the Court read the harder phrase as if it said the easier one.
And institutional habit has now become law.
The Supreme Court’s decision on birthright citizenship is disappointing. That’s why I've already filed an amendment to end birthright citizenship for those here illegally. I’ll keep fighting to protect the integrity of American citizenship.
Despite what brother Hugh Hewitt says, the Roberts birthright opinion is an abomination. I’ll address it tonight on radio. The online format is inadequate.
