Trump is right about birthright citizenship (14th Amendment )
(Excerpt) Read more at x.com ...
He is citing concrete sources against birthright citizenship and the common interpretation of the 14th amendment.
"Subject to the jurisdiction thereof" is the key phrase he says. Indians were excluded from automatic citizenship he says and this is backed up by court opinions at the time.

The critical problem with all this is that we are allowing SCOTUS to define the limits of its own power. No lawyer should ever be given that much latitude. I refuse to accept the concept of Judicial Review as currently practiced.
How about we let the American born child stay, and give the parents the choice of leaving the child here or taking it with them?
The kid could be adopted by people who desperately want a child.
The Constitution is ours. It’s not up to a bunch of fuddy duddy Judgies to determine what it says. It’s up to We the People.
The actual critical problem is that the Constitution is just words on a paper. It holds no actual power. It is ignored or enforced at the whim of our rulers.
Pretending that it does have power is just part of the game of our own oppression.
Think of how silly it is to recite passages from a 250 year old document to a tyrant who you feel is doing something wrong...just years after they completely took away all of our rights, locked us in our homes, prevented our kids from playing outside, shut down our businesses and tried to force us all to take an experimental jab.
It’s as silly as reciting Harry Potter spells to a mugger to stop him from robbing you.
They don’t care about your magic words and they will do as they please.
Good fact find more proof Trump is right.
cue the "Star Trek" episode...
According to both my inside court guru Zen Master and libertarian lawyer Robert Barnes, the Court will rule for birthright citizenship. The clause, according to them, that Woods cites has been interpreted multiple ways, but for over 100 years it has meant, “If you’re born here you’re a U.S. citizen,” and according to Barnes, the pre-14th Amendment language, which he thinks is correct, nevertheless relies far more on English custom and tradition than precedent law.
Zen Master, in the 9 years I’ve known him, has not been wrong in his predictions in a single case.
"HISTORIAN: Trump is right about birthright citizenship (14th Amendment)"
Given the deep state, “loose cannon” Supreme Court, it's understandable that probably many patriots are concerned how the Court is going to decide birthright citizenship.
That being said, I've been researching to make another post on this issue and, after watching Dr. Tom Woods video, am happy that Trump47 and his team undoubtedly have all the material that they need to challenge elite desperate Democratic birthright citizenship.

Consider that Trump is probably intending to reform the courts, watching the masks fall off on this issue, as much as he's fighting birthright citizenship.
The bottom line problem with our legal system is this imo. As lamented by St. George Tucker, a respected constitutional expert in American Revolution times, as a consequence that US legal system is descended in part from common law which is entangled in birthright citizenship issues, judges both good and bad, are inadvertently and deliberately using common law to unconstitutionally amend the Constitution, weakening our constitutional protections as a result.
"If it were, in fact, an unconstitutional exercise of power in congress to pass a law establishing the bank, nothing can manifest the impropriety of over-stepping the limits of the constitution, more than the act which we have just noticed. It shows that the most unauthorised acts of government may be drawn into precedents to justify other unwarrantable usurpations [emphasis added]." —Article 1, Section 8, Clause 6, St. George Tucker, Blackstone's Commentaries 1:App. 262--64, 1803.
