28th amendment proposal
Section 1
Clause 1: All persons born on US soil, including on military bases and consulates, where 1 biological parent is a natural born US citizen, will themselves be a citizen of the US.
Clause 2: All persons born on US soil, including on military bases and consulates, where at least 1 biological parent is a naturalized citizen after living in the US for at least 5 years will themselves be a citizen. No other statuses qualify for citizenship by birth to their child.
Section 2
The count of all US citizens as defined in section 1 only will be done on the years ending in 0 every 10 years. Any other status will not be counted for districting or any other purpose.
@amandababs93@PolitiBunny What "explicit" protections are missing? And why do they need them?
Adoption is and should be very strict on everyone, and it is.
I'm guessing you mean bathroom and sports bills.
Those 64/65 countries are not the US and it's not relevant to bring them up here
@OperaStrange@PolitiBunny How are they "inferior"?
All marriages are legally civil unions in the eyes of the law.
That's literally what gives those legal protections you talk about, currently.
Those could be decided privately with a contract without the state, which would be a better system
@MarwynnGaming@PolitiBunny Trying? Maybe
Will they succeed? Highly doubtful.
The true solution to all this, though, is to remove the state from marriage altogether. But no one wants to do that
@GavinNewsom 1) trump didn't "pack" SCOTUS. Filling vacancies isn't packing
2) no voters have been erased regardless of skin color. Everyone can vote for the candidate they want just as before the ruling.
@brianros1 Congress NEVER has "the power to do what it wants"
Note that the clauses in those amendments clearly state that the power is limited to what in each amendment.
Nothing states anything about allowing for race to be a factor in map drawing.
@LeslieProll How is "democracy destroyed" by a decision that makes sense after SCOTUS finally overturned a prior bad decision to allow race to be a factor in only certain cases when drawing maps
@DianeCarolRoy1@gwgerrond@GovPressOffice I have
Even the slant that those that run Newsom's PR account here ran with.
It's wrong.
Do you think race should be considered when drawing districts? And if so, why?
@JamesVeriton@LLewin@DrewSav And since then, race being a factor in drawing maps was (rightly) deemed unconstitutional and that ruling became moot.
And no, that's not what they ruled at all. Maybe read what the actual holding was.

@DianeCarolRoy1@gwgerrond@GovPressOffice Newsoms PR team is a bunch of liars
I read the cases
What you initially responded to is correct.
Please provide where you think that person lied and correct it
@LLewin@DrewSav If that can be proven according to the VRA, then challenge them and if it's found they did that, they'll be struck down. Just as maps where districts were drawn to favor a black district would be (and should be) struck down
