Official transcript from the US Senate on May 30, 1866. Senator Jacob Howard, who introduced the 14th Amendment:
"This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens...”
SCOTUS got this ruling 100% wrong. A total travesty.

Robert’s and Barrett don’t care. I 100% sure both Robert’s and Barrett are being threatened, blackmailed, paid off, or all of the above. Especially Barrett With yesterday’s ruling. Her writings in support of the ruling were pure nonsense.
SCOTUS’s decision was dictated by Deep State.
The decision has zero to do with the law, intent, or precedent.
Jus sanguinis needs to become the law of our land.
Congress, Deep State just threw you under the bus.
“persons born in the United States who are foreigners”
Well that’s the whole question isn’t it? Are they or aren’t they?
The headline cuts off the relevant part of the sentence.
Doesn’t say what you say it says. You cut off part of the transcript
We all know SCOTUS abandoned (14th)originalism today.
All of those old arguments are basically irrelevant now, so we can stop wasting time re-hashing the same arguments. It is finished. Howard’s words are now irrelevant.
We need Congress to act at this point. That’s the only option we have anymore.
The Republicans just laugh and laugh and laugh… at you (us)!
It's a good ole boy club and we ain't in it.
This is what happens when philosophy and logic are abandoned. So go ahead and celebrate your Division 1 school.
Just understand as a state university, they have failed on the most basic level. But *uck it, at least they’ll be in the running for a championship next year.
Wasn’t the blackmail on Roberts rumored to be the immigration status of his adopted children, or the process?
The first person who supports zero immigration I will support greatly.
the wording was straight forward. not for ambassadors or tourists.
of course, that last part the left has dropped over the years, as illegals are tourists.
with today’s ruling, how are ambassadors excluded from having their kids given US citizenship?
of course, SCOTUS doesn’t care about legality.... it’s all about destroying the country.
It doesn’t matter what Howard said now. They should have written a better law.
Barrett and Roberts both have foreign born children at least roberts does. Not sure about acb, she has so many. No bias there.
Only if you don't know what an appositive is.
Roberts should be congratulated, today he had his very own exponentially worse decision than Dredd Scott.
Congress can’t even pass the SAVE act, an act that 80% of all Americans want. They sure aren’t going to pass a change to the 14th. The clock has been ticking on that for a long time and the alarm has gone off. This was the last cahnce.
” Only if you don’t know what an appositive is. “
I know what Trump v. Barbara is.
So I win.
Let’s stop wasting each other’s time here. I won’t waste your time. You won’t waste my time. There’s no need for million-word walls of text here. SCOTUS destroyed us here on this one.
All that there is now is what is the path forward.
“ We need Congress to act at this point. That’s the only option we have anymore.”
Why do people keep saying this?
It is complete nonsense. Congress is worse than any of them
What does DFG’S state university division 1 status have to do with this?
