Trump has two secure votes: Justices Thomas and Alito. Gorsuch is a maybe, and Kavanaugh and Amy Conehead are suspect. CJ Roberts will likely only join the other conservatives if he needs to soften the opinion, which he can write as CJ. The female Rat trio cares nothing about law, and wants the children of illegals recognized as U.S. citizens so they can divide and conquer the legitimate native citizen population.
IMHO, Roberts, as usual, will “punt” the issue.
He will say, yes, maybe the 14th Amendment now in the 21st century is not perfect, but its up to Congress to fix this.
Yes it’s sad about Barrett. She has the same emotional weakness as the three stooges of the left. Allows her limbic system to overrule her cortex. We can only hope on this one, where she is likely to be thinking about ‘the chirren.’
I think the court doesn't have to do anything new, they just have to reaffirm what the ruling on Wong Kim Ark was and was not.
From an Article III appellate perspective, the only things that matter in Wong were sections 3 (the question presented), 118 (the question answered), and 119 (order affirmed). The rest are dicta.
Based on how the court ruled in Wong, President Trump should be in the clear to move ahead with stopping "birthright citizenship" for nonimmigrant and illegal aliens without the Roberts Court having to issue any new rulings at all, just settle the misapplications of the actual ruling in Wong.
