No one that I have encountered can square this logic with the Supreme Court holding on birthright citizenship….
If native Americans on reservations weren’t covered by the 14th amendment because they were under their own territorial and political jurisdiction… fine. Logical.
If native Americans who left the reservation and had kids in U.S. hospitals weren’t given citizenship at birth… fine, not under political jurisdiction of the U.S. even though they were under the territorial jurisdiction of the U.S.
But the court just said that tourists and illegals, who are under the territorial jurisdiction of the United States, while still subject to the political jurisdiction of their home countries, can produce citizens.
No one who agrees with the court holding has so far been able to explain to me why in light of these circumstances, the holding makes sense.
The Long Awaited Continuing Review...
SCOTUS and Birthright Citizenship ERROR #3
The majority claims the 14th Amendment is clear. But the members of the Senate who wrote and ratified it prove otherwise.
Senator Jacob Howard, who introduced the Citizenship Clause, expressly stated that it “will not…include persons born in the United States who are foreigners [or] aliens.” The Senate repeatedly affirmed the same principle throughout the ratification debate.
The Senators who wrote the 14th Amendment, in clear English, established by INTENT.
The constitutional standard is jurisdiction, complete political allegiance to the United States, not geography.
A child cannot legally declare allegiance as they are not sovereign in the eyes of the law!
That is why the debates repeatedly distinguished foreigners, aliens, tribal Indians, diplomats, and others who owed allegiance elsewhere.
Repeatedly.
The authors of the 14th Amendment understood the difference between being physically present in the United States and being completely subject to its political jurisdiction.
Once again the Majority cherry picks history to make its politically driven conclusions rather than admitting that history is clear, the drafters were clear, and the point was established through repetition for the defining point:
Citizenship did NOT attach merely because a child happened to be born on American soil.
When the words of the Constitution become detached from the intent of those who wrote and ratified them, judges are no longer interpreting the Constitution.
They are writing legal fairy tales.
BONUS SECTION: Want to know where this entire failure begins?
It begins at Supreme Court confirmation hearings, where Senators interrogate nominees over whether they are "conservative" or "liberal."
That is a political standard, not a constitutional one.
As long as Americans tolerate judges being selected according to that false paradigm, we will continue to get judges who substitute their own will for the Constitution.
Our Framers warned us about judges like this. In Federalist No. 83, Hamilton explained that judges who abandon the Constitution are subject to impeachment.
Until we demand that our Senators evaluate judicial nominees by constitutional fidelity rather than political ideology, we should not be surprised when every constitutional question becomes just another political debate; another opportunity to rewrite the Constitution from the bench.
The Constitution does not survive simply because judges occupy a bench. It survives only when We the People demand that it be obeyed-with zero excuses.
Justice Thomas handed the other justices the legal argument that could have saved the Republic. Here it is:
Everyone agreed that when the 14th amendment was "ratified" (it wasn't really ratified) it did not grant citizenship to a Cherokee born outside the reservation, on US territory.
A Cherokee born in the USA was not a citizen, because the US government had no jurisdiction over the Cherokee nation.
Why is this not also true of a Chinaman? Are we to believe the US government has more jurisdiction over China than it does the Cherokee nation?
All of the justices knew this, because Thomas pointed it out to them. They had all the justification they needed to save us.
They just didn't want to.
I attached Grok's summary of the counterargument. I suggest you read it to see how lame and tortured it is.

SCOTUS and Birthright Citizenship ERROR #2
SCOTUS says the history of Jus Soli establishes that everyone born on American soil regardless of parental legal status automatically becomes a citizen.
However, factually and historically, Jus Soli is a legal doctrine developed by kings and conquerors to expand political power by creating subjects.
I find it disturbingly ironic that the liberal Justices, who claim to see slavery and oppression in every corner of American history, completely overlook the genuinely feudal origins of this doctrine.
This is what happens when history and the Constitution are replaced with political mythology.
Children are born subject to their parents, not to government. It’s a parental authority issue, not a government jurisdiction issue.
Government does not become a child’s master simply because they first draw breath within a particular border.
Even Great Britain, the very nation the majority relies upon to bind us to this feudal doctrine, has abandoned unconditional birthright citizenship.
1. Americans rejected the notion that people are born owing unconditional and perpetual allegiance to kings and governments when we declared Independence.
2. We rejected it again when we established a constitutional republic where citizenship is founded upon law, consent, and allegiance, not the accident of geography.
Now, through an astonishing ignorance of both history and constitutional principle, the majority has resurrected the very feudal philosophy our Founders rejected.
It is a political doctrine that says government owns your political allegiance from the moment of your birth, regardless of the allegiance of your parents.
That is the doctrine of kings and oppressors and therefore patently unAmerican.
If SCOTUS will, through an unfathomable depth of ignorance for political reasons, voluntarily adopt such despotism are we also going to overturn Dredd Scott in some creative but imaginative way that will become championed by the very people it once oppressed?
Every generation that abandons discernment eventually discovers the same truth: unintended consequences are monsters that never stay under your control. Eventually, they turn on their creators.

Mike Huckabee thanks Israel for the 250th anniversary of America saying it was all thanks to the "Jewish Foundation from which the United States was born."
Huckabee says America will collapse immediately if it ever abandons Israel.
"I hope we're never going to be that stupid."
This is what a traitor sounds like.
Women should never have been granted the right to vote, to hold public office, or to wield judicial power as Supreme Court justices.
The record of the past century suggests that women, on balance, have struggled to exercise such authority with the necessary detachment.
They vote their emotions, every single time. Not logic.
In 100 years, women rose from exclusion to positions of immense influence…only to channel much of that power toward policies and rulings that have accelerated the erosion of America’s constitutional order and national cohesion.
Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s approach to the birthright citizenship was obvious: she entered the discussion visibly inclined to locate a loophole, guided more by the empathetic impulse of having two Haitian children.
Granting this degree of power to women has been a costly experiment, one whose results now speak for themselves.
RIP UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
SCOTUS and Birthright citizenship ERROR #1.
SCOTUS relies on the 14th Amendment to justify Birthright Citizenship while ignoring the limits the 14th Amendment places upon its own authority.
Section 5 of the 14th Amendment reads:
“The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.”
Congress has NEVER enacted legislation granting Birthright Citizenship to the children of temporary visitors or those unlawfully present in the United States.
SCOTUS has the authority to review executive orders and determine whether they are constitutional. That is where its authority ends.
SCOTUS does NOT have the authority to write the legislation Congress never enacted.
If Birthright Citizenship extends to the children of temporary visitors or those unlawfully present, the Constitution assigns that decision to Congress not the courts.
By creating through judicial opinion what the Constitution assigns to the legislative branch, the majority has violated the separation of powers and exceeded its constitutional authority.
That is not constitutional interpretation. That is judicial legislation.

Elon Musk just posted “AOC is an actor”
He’s 100% correct, and here’s the proof. AOC was chosen to be in Congress by a Democrat casting call. She’s a political actor that was picked out of 10,000 applicants
AOC’s brother submitted her application and she was chosen by the Executive Director of Justice Democrats Out Of 10,000 Candidates
It’s all on camera. There is even footage of AOC and Alexandra Rojas both confirming this on camera
“Alexandria Ocasio Cortez is not really the congresswoman of New York's 14th congressional district. She is essentially an actress. She's merely playing the part of a New York congresswoman. I know this sounds crazy, but bear with me. In 2017, a group called the Justice Democrats held auditions for potential congressional candidates that they would run on their platform for various congressional seats throughout the country. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez's brother Gabriel submitted her for the role”
- In 2017 Justice Democrats, a progressive PAC founded by former Bernie Sanders staffers and allies put out a public call for congressional candidates
- They received over 10,000 nominations
- AOC’s younger brother, Gabriel Ocasio-Cortez, submitted her name. AOC was working as a bartender
Justice Democrats vetted nominees and chose AOC. They then trained her and installed her as their candidate
As we approach our 250th anniversary, I believe it's worth noting that our government is only actually 165 years old.
The American Republic established in 1776 ended in 1861.
The Civil War cost almost a million lives: one out of every five white men of military age in the South and one out of every ten in the North. It destroyed virtually all of the wealth in the South — a 90% reduction to per capita GDP. The South would not recover economically until 1950.
But the real cost of the war wasn't economic. It was political.
The Civil War destroyed the Federalist system that our founders built to ensure the central government's power remained genuinely limited. Not limited by the goodwill of its legislators, which is no limit at all, but limited by the existence of rival sovereign States, which could restrain the central government and each other through competition.
After 1865 the only real limit to federal power was the self-restraint of the men in office. And that didn't last for long...
But, before we look at the long-term impact of America's first war of aggression, let us dispel a critical myth: that the Civil War ended slavery. Slavery was ending because of technology and economics. And it would have ended just as surely if no war had ever been fought between the States.
Britain abolished slavery, without a war, throughout its empire in 1833, freeing some 700,000 people in the West Indies alone. France abolished slavery in its colonies in 1848. Russia — the most backward great power in Europe — emancipated some twenty-three million serfs in 1861, the very year of Sumter. The Netherlands freed the slaves of Surinam and Curaçao in 1863. Across the entire industrializing world, unfree labor was abandoned within a single compressed generation. And, in no other great nation, was war required.
In America, slavery did not end because of General Grant and the boys in blue. It did not end because of a moral awakening. The cause was economic.
Chattel slavery extracts muscle power from human beings. Therefore, slavery only makes economic sense if muscle power is the binding constraint on production. Once machines had multiplied the labor output of muscle by hundreds of times, slavery was not only immoral but inefficient. In an industrial economy a slave costs more than he yields. As a result, capital flees from slavery into factories. All over the world. And even in the South.
Slavery ended everywhere at roughly the same time for the same reason: innovation and economics. It would have ended in the American South regardless of who won at Gettysburg. Even Brazil, the last holdout in the Western hemisphere, freed its 725,000 slaves with the Golden Law of 1888. No war was required: slavery was no longer productive.
With apologies to the celebrants of Juneteenth, slavery was not legally abolished in the United States until the Thirteenth Amendment was ratified in December 1865. The institution died, not because of the war, but because the world had entered the machine age.
The unnecessary destruction of half of our country and almost a million people wasn't the greatest tragedy of the Civil War. The greatest tragedy was the loss of Federalism and the hard-won liberty Americans won in the Revolution.
The Civil War destroyed the federal structure of the American republic, in which the several States were sovereign in their own spheres, with genuinely different legal systems, cultures, and traditions. The national government was beholden to the States, with only limited and enumerated powers.
The clearest proof of this change lies in our language. Before 1861, the United States was a plural noun. Men said the United States "are." After 1865 our country became singular. The United States "is."
The doctrine that a state could check the central government — by interposition, by nullification, in the last resort by departure — died at Appomattox, and with it the last structural brake on the power of the federal government died too.
The framers had not relied on parchment to limit the government they created. They relied on competition. So long as the States were genuinely sovereign — so long as a man oppressed in one State could remove to another, so long as the national government had to reckon with twenty or thirty rival centers of authority each jealous of its own jurisdiction — the central government could not easily grow into a Leviathan. The States were not administrative subdivisions. They were the Constitution's immune system.
What followed the Civil War was America's first empire -- in the South. And Empire's require a strong central government. Thus began a long erosion of the line between the citizen and the State, and between private institutions and public power.
Twelve years after the war, the Supreme Court considered whether a State could fix by law the prices a private grain warehouse charged its customers. The owners argued it was a taking of their property without due process — that what a man does with his own property, and what he charges for its use, is rightfully his own affair. The Court disagreed. Chief Justice Waite ruled that when private property is "affected with a public interest, it ceases to be juris privati only," and may be regulated by the government for the common good (Munn v. Illinois, 1877).
That was the end of private property in America. After all, if the national legislature may decide which property is "affected with a public interest," and may then dictate its prices and uses, there is in principle no property the government may not control.
Justice Stephen Field saw it and dissented with prophetic fury. The doctrine, he warned, "is nothing less than a bold assertion of absolute power by the State to control at its discretion the property and business of the citizen." A legislature that could fix the uses and prices of property "against the consent of the owner" could "deprive him of the property as completely as by a special act for its confiscation or destruction."
New York City's landlords are finding out the truth of this reality. They believe they own their properties. But they are about to find out otherwise, as rents will now be controlled by the mayor, who is a communist. This will spread. A communist ruling over all of America is only a matter of time. Why? Because the law provides an unlimited incentive for such power. There is nothing in America the government cannot take from you. Nothing.
The proof of the unlimited central authority was established in blood. The courts followed where the armies led. And the first American Empire — the North's conquest of the South — led to more such military adventures, which continue to this day.
In its first century, the United States heeded its founders' warnings against entangling alliances, a large standing army, and foreign military adventures. But the creation of the massive Northern army created its own momentum. Only 20 years after Reconstruction, the country clamored for another Empire and war against Spain. America became an imperial power, with possessions from the Caribbean to the far Pacific — Cuba, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Philippines.
The consolidated nation that emerged from the Civil War was the precondition for the American Empire that emerged in 1898. Power flows to the center, and the center's reach has no natural boundary.
The Leviathan must be fed.
In 1913, every American became a direct serf to the national government: The Sixteenth Amendment gave the federal government the power to tax incomes directly. The size of a government is set, in the end, by the size of its revenues. The income tax removed the ceiling.
The Seventeenth Amendment, ratified the same year, provided for the direct election of United States senators. Under the original Constitution, senators were chosen by the state legislatures. This was the last vestige of State sovereignty. It could not be allowed to stand. The Senate stopped being the guardian of federalism.
And… then… with these Constitutional impediments finally vanquished, you saw Leviathan act to ensure its permanent dominance: it would control the money supply.
In December of 1913, Congress created the Federal Reserve System. The power over money, which the Constitution had strictly withheld from the central government, was enshrined into law. Income tax, a central bank, and the removal of the states from the Senate — all in one year.
The Revolution that began in 1861 was complete. America's Empire had begun.
Munn established that the government may dictate the use of private property. 1898 established that the consolidated nation would project power without limit beyond its borders. 1913 established the revenue, the money power, and the removal of the states from their guard post. The 1964 Civil Rights Act expanded this dictatorial power into every private transaction in America.
Government of the people, for the people, and by the people has been destroyed.
We now live in an Empire, not a Republic.
The Civil War didn't free any slaves; it enslaved all of us.
Some of you are going to black-pill tomorrow after SCOTUS upholds birthright citizenship.
Some of you are black-pilled already for other reasons.
I encourage you to remember the Patriots that watched their comrades freeze to death at Valley Forge but stayed in the fight.

🇷🇺✝️⚔️✡️🇮🇱🕎In 1742, Empress Elizabeth of Russia issued a decree expelling jews from the empire. When ministers urged her to rescind it by noting the state profits derived from jewish subjects engaged in commerce, she sternly replied, "I do not wish to profit from the enemies of Christ."
There is a lesson there somewhere. Even if jews bring profit to a nation (usually false), they still should leave White Christian nations.
Faith over finance when dealing with jews—every single time, every single place, every single jew...!
