Today's awful Supreme Court 5-4 Election Day decision, authored by Justice Barrett and joined by Chief Justice Roberts will make more of a mess of our elections. Heavy lifting @JudicialWatch will NOT give up even with this loss!
In huge @JudicialWatch victory, Fifth Circuit already found counting ballots received AFTER Election Day is unlawful. Today, SCOTUS will decide whether to take up another JW case tied to Illinois's counting ballots that arrive for up to 14 days after Election Day!
As America celebrates the 250th anniversary of our casting off the British Crown, five Supreme Court justices looked past the Revolution and invoked medieval English feudalism to declare that the Constitution guarantees automatic citizenship to the U.S.-born children of illegal aliens. As Justice Alito notes in his dissent:

In persuading the people to ratify the Constitution, Alexander Hamilton explained in Federalist Papers: No. 81 that while the judiciary may occasionally encroach upon legislative authority, its “comparative weakness” and “total incapacity to support its usurpations by force” limits the danger. He added that this is “greatly fortified by the consideration of the important constitutional check, which the power of instituting impeachments, in one part of the legislative body, and of determining upon them in the other, would give to that body upon the members of the judicial department. This is alone a complete security.”
Birth tourism schemes exploit our immigration laws and often violate our criminal laws. The Department of Justice will prioritize the prosecutions of birth tourism schemes across the country. Actors seeking to exploit loopholes to obtain automatic citizenship for their children pose a national security threat and will be brought to justice.
I think President @RealDonaldTrump's view on "birthright" citizenship is consistent with the Constitution, federal law, legal precedent, and history:
The Fourteenth Amendment has always excluded from birthright citizenship persons who were born in the United States but not “subject to the jurisdiction thereof.” Consistent with this understanding, the Congress has further specified through legislation that “a person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof” is a national and citizen of the United States at birth, 8 U.S.C. 1401, generally mirroring the Fourteenth Amendment’s text.
Among the categories of individuals born in the United States and not subject to the jurisdiction thereof, the privilege of United States citizenship does not automatically extend to persons born in the United States: (1) when that person’s mother was unlawfully present in the United States and the father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person’s birth, or (2) when that person’s mother’s presence in the United States at the time of said person’s birth was lawful but temporary (such as, but not limited to, visiting the United States under the auspices of the Visa Waiver Program or visiting on a student, work, or tourist visa) and the father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person’s birth.

Ketanji "Not a Biologist" Brown Jackson's dissent on SCOTUS's trans athlete decision is, as usual, EMBARRASSING:
"There is reason to doubt the soundness of the concession that Title IX’s reference to 'sex' means *only* sex assigned at birth."
"A transgender woman penalized for being perceived as aggressive has experienced discrimination 'on the basis of sex' just as much as a cisgender woman has, no matter that the transgender woman’s behavior matches expectations of her sex assigned at birth. Either way, the institution has imposed its gender-based expectations upon her. And either way, the institution may have violated Title IX."
Justice Thomas (joined by Justice Gorsuch) slams birthright citizen decision, suggesting it is part of a long line of Supreme Court cases (most racist) abusing the Constitution and will not "stand the test of time":
"The Fourteenth Amendment was enacted in the wake of the Civil War, 'with the one pervading purpose' of securing equal citizenship for the freed slaves. Slaughter-House Cases, 16 Wall., at 71. It was enacted, as Justice Harlan wrote, 'to secure to a race recently emancipated' the 'civil rights' that other citizens enjoyed. Plessy, 163 U. S., at 555–556.
"This Court has time and again denied Americans that promise. Shortly after the Amendment was ratified, this Court deprived black citizens of the right to peaceably assemble and to keep and bear arms. See United States v. Cruikshank, 92 U. S. 542 (1876); see McDonald, 561 U. S., at 808–809 (THOMAS, J., concurring in part and concurring in judgment). A little later, in Plessy, the Court upheld the subjugation of black citizens in the form of state-coerced racial segregation. 163 U. S. 537. When it had an opportunity to correct that profound error, it did so narrowly. See Brown v. Bd. of Ed., 347 U. S. 483, 494, and n. 11 (1954). It then used that very decision to justify busing American children to different schools based on their race. See Swann v. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Bd. of Ed., 402 U. S. 1 (1971). Cite as: 609 U. S. ____ (2026) THOMAS, J., dissenting 91 And, until recently, this Court continued to selectively enforce our colorblind Constitution, including by allowing state-coerced racial discrimination in public education, e.g., Grutter v. Bollinger, 539 U. S. 306 (2003), and compelling States to draw political districts on the basis of race, e.g., Allen v. Milligan, 599 U. S. 1 (2023).
"Meanwhile, the Court has repurposed the Fourteenth Amendment to protect its own set of preferred rights that the Reconstruction Congress never contemplated and that cannot find support in its text. Today, the Court does so again by recognizing a constitutional right to citizenship for the children of all foreign birth tourists and illegal aliens.

"I am not sure that today’s opinion will stand the test of time. The Citizenship Clause 'added greatly to the dignity and glory of American citizenship.' Plessy, 163 U. S., at 555 (Harlan, J., dissenting). Today’s opinion devalues that citizenship. I respectfully dissent. "
UN: This is why America must exit. Tlaleng Mofokeng the UN’s Special Rapporteur on Health praises Hamas, advocates for armed struggle, promotes prostitution to teens, and calls Americans “evil scum.” The UN is captured by radicals.
The Supreme Court was split 5-4 on this core issue. Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Barrett sided with the court's liberals in this terrible decision.
BREAKING: Supreme Court rules "Children born in the United States to parents unlawfully or temporarily present are “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States and are citizens at birth under the Fourteenth Amendment’s Citizenship Clause." Terrible.

Democrats in California "won" two extra seats in Congress thanks to ballots that arrived AFTER Election Day. Supreme Court Election Day fail today invites more such compromised elections! @JudicialWatch will continue to fight in court!
Breaking: Supreme Court moves to protect girls and women from dangerous transgender extremism. Justice Kavanaugh:
"The two States here—along with 25 other States, the IOC, the USOPC, and the NCAA—have concluded at this time that women and girls should be allowed to compete for those life-changing opportunities on an equal playing field, without fear of physical injury from biological males or being forced to compete against biological males. Consistent with Title IX and the Equal Protection Clause, we hold that the States may maintain women’s and girls’ sports for biological females. They may determine eligibility for women’s and girls’ sports based on biological sex. The Constitution and Title IX do not require an overhaul of women’s and girls’ sports throughout America."
