The birthright citizenship ruling underscores why I find originalism to be a purely conservative undertaking. We've been told a billion times to read the text of the 2nd amendment as written, but the 14th amendment? Well, that's complicated. Let's look at words that aren't there.
@intentionalisms@DerekPederson3 To clarify I don't support his opinion but this isn't the "worst one." Kavanaugh arguing for Congress to legislate limitations to birthright citizenship is arguably more nonsensical
@RevanchistRudy@alt_ccc 14th amendment says nothing about allegiance. Dual allegiances aren't illegal in the US. Anyone in the US that's not a foreign invading army or diplomat is under US jurisdiction
