Reminder that not electing Hillary Clinton is one of the most catastrophic events in this country’s history and no further proof than birthright citizenship being on a razors edge of being tossed out.
It remains hilarious to me that there are still people who believe that Justice Clarence Thomas is some sort of thoughtful, independent jurist instead of a predictable, fringe partisan hack whose wife tried to overthrow the government. Y'all will never learn.
On the Supreme Court birthright citizenship decision, keep in mind that three justices, Thomas, Alito and Gorsuch, directly disregard the clear language of the Constitution, and a fourth, Kavanaugh, disregarded it but relied instead on a law. That, my friends, is chilling.
BREAKING on MS NOW: Mike Johnson's latest effort to force through the SAVE America Act to rig elections just failed.
The House failed to clear a procedural vote 198-224 on the NDAA largely because the SAVE Act was attached.
The real headline from the birthright‑citizenship case isn’t the outcome. It’s that four Supreme Court justices signaled they believe a president can effectively rewrite the Constitution through executive order.
Can everyone just step back and realize how insane it is that the US Supreme Court had to rule on the constitutionality of the US CONSTITUTION and the vote to uphold the Constitution wasn't unanimous!!!
The Supreme Court today made a corrupt campaign finance system even worse. The Court struck down limits on the coordination between candidates and political parties, giving billionaires even more power.
Billionaires buying elections is not democracy. It’s Oligarchy.
It was struck down 6-3 decision, although only 5-4 on the Constitutional question. Four justices would have rewritten the Constitution's plain text and ignored centuries of precedent on the scope of birthright citizenship. Thankfully, they were the minority.
The decision should have been 9-0.
At least a dozen of the men who debated and voted on the Fourteenth Amendment in 1866 would NOT have been citizens under Trump’s EO.
They were not voting to disqualify themselves as Americans.
Insane, ahistorical and un-American argument.
Mayor Mamdani & Speaker Menin reach a handshake deal on $125.8b budget.
“Socialists not only understand economics just as well as the capitalists… but we can solve their years of mismanagement through an embrace of our principles,” Mamdani says, a ref to Friedrich Hayek
The scariest part isn't that birthright citizenship was challenged. It’s that three Supreme Court justices were willing to pretend a president can change the Constitution with an executive order.
