@technicallyclay@benshapiro Capitalism is why we are as prosperous as we are today. We have political problems of corruption and subsidies, but the system itself is an ideal of property rights. Development is a continuous process, not something you arrive at overnight; saying and doing are very different.
@Patrick_am_I@jakehmccoy@DavidAFrench@StephenGutowski Correct, but the court could have made a ruling saying that changing it via the presidency is illegal but that they were reviewing the interpretation of birthright citizenship itself. I think they use specific cases to alter broader constitutional interpretations frequently.
@1ncent1ve@DavidAFrench I think the case of citizenship for people born to parents here illegally is complicated. Clearly, it applies to green card holders, but people who are only here because they slipped past the police? Had law enforcement done its job they wouldn’t be born here at all.
@DavidAFrench Sadly, I think that many of the people rejoicing in this will just go back to the narrative that the justices are just Trump stooges in short order. Memories are short as people stick to their old, misinformed talking points.
@AGHamilton29 They have the same goals of absolute centralised power. They just pretend to want to implement it democratically, as if it makes it morally acceptable.
@smooth_normie@politicalmath For people here legally, yes, for better or for worse, their offspring are citizens. But the idea that people who slip past law enforcement and pop out some babies, that they receive citizenship, there is a fair case that it does not apply to them.
@joshxhowie@StopAntisemites Saying that they collectively sided with the Nazis is a stretch. I really do not know how many did or if there is polling from the time. It was the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem who did during the time, when it was still under British administration.
@StopAntisemites How do these families even get admitted into the country? Do we seriously not vet for Holocaust deniers-supporters before giving out green cards and citizenship?
@mdubowitz I really liked the 2021-2022 coalition and the spirit of co-operation that it had and brought. It is a shame that it could not have gone on for longer.
@StoneColdBalla@neontaster This is correct. The extremists hold the leverage over Netanyahu because they can break the coalition at any time, and staying in power means more to Netanyahu than it does to them.
@HenMazzig Netanyahu will do anything to stay in power even if it brings about an Israeli moral decline. He already made his choices when he made his coalition. He made his priorities clear. He knew exactly who the extremists were.
@GovernorVA It is exactly the job of courts to nullify the reactive impulses of majorities to protect the rights of minorities from their whims. Just because a decision is popular and democratically decided does not make it moral.
