BREAKING: BOOHOO! The President of the far-right Heritage Foundation throws a massive fit over a "tremendous betrayal" after the Supreme Court upheld birthright citizenship.
If these monsters are upset, it's a beautiful day for America....
"The Supreme Court’s ruling on birthright citizenship is a tremendous betrayal of the republic. The Justices in the majority have inflamed the all-out assault on our sovereignty and cheapened the sacred value of American citizenship," Kevin Roberts wrote on X.
"Universal birthright citizenship erases any uniquely American birthright—a distortion that was never the meaning or intention of the 14th Amendment. It is time for a constitutional amendment to correct this gross injustice," he added.
In reality, the court's 6-3 decision was rooted in the clear wording of the Constitution. Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Neil Gorsuch dissented while conservatives John Roberts, Amy Coney Barrett, and
Brett Kavanaugh voted with the liberal justices. It's presumably this "betrayal" that has Kevin Roberts so incensed.
Here's a good rule of thumb: if the Heritage Foundation is upset, our democracy has just survived a major attack.
This is the same Heritage Foundation that authored Trump's "Project 2025," the fascist blueprint that he began implementing the moment that he was sworn into office for the second time. This so-called "think tank" masterminded the gutting of federal agencies, the brutal immigration crackdowns, the assault on DEI initiatives, and the wholesale demonization of transgender Americans.
These people don't care about preserving America. They want to shred the Constitution and mutate this country into a white Christian Nationalist hellscape where only corporations and the super rich have rights.
We should celebrate it every time that they suffer a setback.
Please ❤️ and share if you support birthright citizenship!
I'm not running for office. But if I were, these are some of the lessons I'd take away from what happened in NY yesterday.
1. Authenticity is measurable. Voters can smell a focus group from a mile away.
2. Endorsements from the current Democratic leadership now read like warnings. The establishment wing of the party is no longer a sword. It's a question mark.
3. Conviction beats caution. The candidates who said hard things about rent, about who pays for what, about Gaza, they won. The triangulators lost.
4. Cost of living is everything. Everything else is wallpaper.
5. The middle is not a strategy. It's an empty room. Voters reached past the establishment to grab someone who actually believes something.
6. Don't fear the base. Court it. The Democrats who ran from their own voters lost. The ones who ran toward them won.
7. If you want to lead a party you have to be willing to fight inside it. Mamdani didn't ask permission. He took the field.
The lesson under the lessons: the country is tired of being managed. People want to be led.
