@1WesRebel Every single one of the separatist states listed slavery as a main cause in their articles of secession lol. I'll take their word for it over yours.
@jshanklin@adamscochran@TheElusiveCow Ok, point me to ANY SCOTUS opinion prior to this week's ruling that actually addressed the cases of people here temporarily or illegally.
Hint: it has never been addressed until this week.
@jshanklin@adamscochran@TheElusiveCow Which I understand we inherited English common law.. but Thomas provided ample evidence that during the 1860s it was understood that "jurisdiction" implied legal domicile
@jshanklin@adamscochran@TheElusiveCow Go dig into Thomas's dissent. Feed the rulings to an AI and get a summary with key points and evidence.
This has never been as clear as you people pretend it to be.
@jshanklin@adamscochran@TheElusiveCow Is your argument that every majority SCOTUS ruling must be considered the correct ruling and never be revisited?
Because that is obviously not how it works lol.
Clearly it didn't convince the majority.. doesn't mean the evidence doesn't exist.
@jshanklin@adamscochran@TheElusiveCow It's almost like you don't even understand what the dissenting opinions are and what they are based on lol. The core debate is around whether the phrase as understood at the time of the 14th implied legal domicile. There is very good evidence that it did.
@marccruzzzer@adamscochran@TheElusiveCow But sure go ahead and drive your interpretation from a 1608 English case about feudal law where those born were under the "jurisdiction" of the Lord of the land and thus belonged to him for life. Totally relevant to modern times lol
@AlexNowrasteh Clarence Thomas addresses this clearly, pointing out the irony of referring to English feudal law for definitions when we had plenty of definitions from the actual time when the amendment was passed. He gave many examples showing that at the time the common /
@GinoTheGhost Claiming that the alternative is all about race and bloodlines is a complete straw man argument. Jackson leveled this against Thomas and she is wrong to do so. He provides ample support from other rulings and law books from the time to argue it is based on domicile.
@KenWood310 @ben_codez@lady_valor_07 The reality is that wait staff don't want this because many of them make extremely good money off the insane idea that you must always tip 20%+ no matter how much effort it took to wait on you.
@BretWeinstein which is exactly why we shouldn't let this go. if they want to flex then the people should increase the pressure right back.
the goal is to make us give up. i hope people do the exact opposite.
A funny thing about Bondi’s insults to members of Congress who had serious questions:
Staff literally gave her flash cards with individualized insults, but she couldn’t memorize them, so you can see her shuffle through them to find the flash-cards-insult that matches the member.
