Violating his oath to defend the Constitution on day one…

Presidents Can’t End Birthright Citizenship

President Trump's executive order is almost certain to be struck down.

www.brennancenter.org

President Trump claimed to end birthright citizenship on the first day of his second term. Trump’s executive order is unconstitutional, in direct conflict with the plain language of the 14th Amendment and over a century’s worth of Supreme Court case law. It will be litigated immediately and its prospects of surviving those court fights are slim, even before a Supreme Court stacked with conservative justices and Trump appointees.

Before getting into the merits of the constitutional case against Trump’s executive order, it’s worth pausing to stress the brazenness of what he has done. Every new president swears to uphold the Constitution. Only minutes after taking that oath, President Trump violated it — flagrantly.

Maybe. There was only one key case on this in the late 1800s, involving a boy born to Chinese parents. However, all immigration at the time was legal, so his parents were in the country legally. There has never been a case that discusses whether illegal immigrants children have a constitutional right to citizenship. The citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment states: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

The questions is what "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" means, and if it somehow disqualifies a child born to parents who are in the country illegally from citizenship.

I think the Supreme Court has a lot of wiggle room as this specific issue has never been decided, and they may be able to create a distinction. I tend to agree the order likely won't survive, but I also thought the court would never overturn the right to privacy (even though I think it was flawed judicial activisim in the first place).

I don't have a problem stopping illegal immigration, but only if we put in a more robust process to legal entry, as the pyramid schemes we are running (Social Security, national debt, etc.) need a large increase in population to keep the scam running and more suckers to buy in. And the birth rate has been below the death rate since the late 70s, so we need immigration to fill the void.

Social security is a pyramid scheme for suckers? lol

“America First” is, in part at least, born of massive insecurity. These MAGA folks are all fundamentally insecure.

Denali, the name the mountain has always been known as in Alaska, must go back to being named for McKinley.

2015: “For centuries, Alaskans have known this majestic mountain as the 'Great One'. Today we are honored to be able to officially recognize the mountain as Denali. I'd like to thank the President for working with us to achieve this significant change to show honor, respect and gratitude to the Athabascan people of Alaska”.[38][39]

Denali–Mount McKinley naming dispute - Wikipedia

Trump felt otherwise, while campaigning in 2024: “McKinley was a very good, maybe a great president. They took his name off Mount McKinley. That's what they do to people. President McKinley was the president that was responsible for creating a vast sum of money. That's one of the reasons that we're going to bring back the name of Mount McKinley, because I think he deserves it”.

Of course, lol. Executive order signed first day. Why? Because President McKinley and a vast sum of money, whatever that means.

He said he wants to be “a unifying president”. BS. Alaskans and their desires, don’t count in his unification ethos…Trump actually felt the need to remove the name Denali. Think about that, a day one priority!

Still another executive order reflecting Trump and MAGA’s insecurity and trivial flexing of overweening pride. The childish, immature, emotional fragility of MAGA:

Trump to make good on Gulf of America promise with bonkers executive order

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a Democrat, is not a fan of the idea

“The world’s ninth-largest body of water has been called the Gulf of Mexico since 1607. However, as Prof. Jon Taylor of UT-San Antonio told Houston Public Media, Trump "could actually direct federal agencies to use the name Gulf of America.”

Trump acolyte Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Republican congresswoman from Georgia, has pledged to introduce a bill renaming the Gulf, claiming, “It’s our gulf. The rightful name is the Gulf of America and it’s what the entire world should refer to it as."

A. Why indeed. If you are correct that trump can no longer use his freedom of speech to air Biden dirty laundry then do you really think that the reason trump lost his freedom of speech is because Biden did the pardons today rather than yesterday? You have to realize how stupid you would have to be to think that right?

B. You are wrong. Anyone still in prison 4 years later was given a sentence specifying the length of the sentence.

It's pretty crazy that you believe what your sources are telling you.

Conspiracy theorists have a special capacity for creating and believing false narratives. Critical thinking skills are foreign in folks like that. When all you have is a hammer...

Social security is a pyramid scheme for suckers? lol

Oh they are suckers all right. 90% of the population are suckers for not holding their elected leaders accountable for safeguarding social security, which is the sole means of income for some 30% of the retired population and a significant portion of income for another 30%. Which barely keeps them at poverty level. Stupid suckers. ****ing non-wealthy morons.

Renaming **** is a classic nationalist move. Garner feelings of patriotism by renaming **** that was basically meaningless. Fascist Italy engaged in a campaign of linguistic purity where they banned and replaced loanwords from other languages.

I don’t have sources. I wish though.

There it is. I knew you’d eventually admit it.

So you have no sources and you’re just blowing stuff out your *** to generate angry reactions from posters. There’s a term for this but I just can’t put my finger on it… Hmm. Can someone help me out?

 

[The Thriller]

You're a prize winning dickhead.



Yeah you'd kind of think if it was a professional job it would have been effective.



Don't you know you can't send middle class white people to prison? Sorry a large number of Jan 6 rioters are best described as petite bourgeoisie, which probably explains how they are simultaneously ignorant, entitled and completely self obsessed.

The forgotten economically anxious about eggies and milk man will really benefit from Trump pardoning his 1,500 brown shirts from committing crimes. Just look at how some are reacting.

This definitely won’t embolden white nationalists, nazis, and his other followers to commit more violence… right?

Well the gas station by my house gas price was $2.77 per gallon yesterday.
Will be interesting to see how low trump sets the gas prices to now that he is president.

How can anyone afford gas in this Biden inflation economy? It’s like world war 5 and the Great Depression mixed into one!

And you think Stephen Miller, Donald Trump, and Elon Musk have any interest or ability to reform our immigration process to allow for this? This being a robust legal entry? Bahahahahahaha

It’s amazing to me how people seem to memory hole Trump’s first term. You realize that for two years Trump could’ve done all of these things when he had control of the House and Senate, right? And could have attempted something for the last two years of his term when he controlled the senate. He’d have to negotiate with Democrats and compromise. But Democrats how shown a willingness to compromise, especially on immigration. But the white nationalists of Trump’s base don’t want immigration (legal or illegal) and Trump just wants an issue (red meat). So there’s literally no incentive to resolve this issue.

Still more emotional insecurity by Trump. 78 and just never grew up.

This is what America voted for. It should be noted that Rhodes wife and son were scared when they testified against him in trial. He had made threats against them and had called his own son a “traitor.” They’re forever going to be looking over their shoulders now. Thanks Donald!

Proud Boys and Oath Keepers among over 1,500 Capitol riot defendants pardoned by Trump

Fourteen members of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers are among those whose sentences were commuted.

www.bbc.com

According to Justice Department figures released earlier this month, approximately 1,583 defendants have been charged with crimes associated with the riot.

More than 600 have been charged with assaulting, resisting or obstructing law enforcement, including around 175 charged with using a deadly or dangerous weapon or causing serious bodily injury to an officer.

The 14 defendants who had their sentences commuted - meaning they will be released, but their convictions will remain on the record - include Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes.

Rhodes, a former US Army paratrooper and Yale-educated lawyer, led a contingent of his militia members to Washington. They stashed weapons in a hotel room across the Potomac River in Virginia while participating in the melee.

Rhodes did not enter the Capitol but directed his members from outside, and was sentenced in 2023 to 18 years in prison.

Trump issued a blanket "full, complete and unconditional pardon" to all others who were involved in the riot.

They include former Proud Boys leader Henry "Enrique" Tarrio, who was jailed for 22 years for seditious conspiracy over the riot.

Trumps own VP said no one that committed violent acts would be set free. Also there are people that entered the building being held unconstitutionally for a peaceful protest. Last I checked you can’t be arrested for such an act.

Nice one. lol

Rhodes did not enter the Capitol

Your story is that Rhodes "led a contingent of his militia members to Washington". He organized the travel. Rhodes, and everyone in his group was unarmed. They were weapons owners but they left all weapons in a different state when they went to the speaking event. After the event Rhodes was participating in the melee through psychic projection because all evidence shows he never went into the Capitol. For organizing the travel, having everyone in his group leave all weapons, and not going into the Capitol, he was sentenced to 18 years in prison. That isn't justice.
