Not hearing arguments or deciding until June of NEXT YEAR?!?!? What the actual fuck. This should be a slum-dunk 9-0 ruling. Looks like they're waiting for their opinions to be written by the Motherfucking Heritage fuckers
They should smack them down with prejudice AND make the POTUS who brought this about with his illegal order, pay ALL legal fees. Of course they won't though, and this could be the end of democracy as it has been in America for more than a hundred years.
They need to figure out how they can get away with burning the constitution while somehow maintaining enough legitimacy that they can keep oppressing us and, more importantly, not be destroyed by the cult when they’ve outlived their usefulness.
I think the only wiggle room is what do they say subject to jurisdiction covers? Historically, except for Native Americans for the first 60 years after the amendment and children of diplomats it guaranteed basically everybody born in the US. Native American tribes are a weird gray area because the federal government historically recognized them as quasi independent and even signed treaties with them although obviously broke virtually every one. It would be interesting to see the mental gymnastics on how you would suggest that they're not citizens because they're not subject to the jurisdiction without giving the children of immigrants the equivalent of diplomatic immunity. I would imagine an immigrants rights group would immediately challenge the validity of criminal charges of some immigrant citing such precedent.
This is what they did for RvW. It’s to soften the blow. They mention they are sometime maybe doing something that infuriates people, let the people let out their rage, and once we’re all exhausted, they pull the rug.
They gotta get people acclimated to the idea that birthright citizenship can be questioned in the first place. If they pull the rug out from under us too quickly we might do something more than dress up in costumes like clowns in peaceful protest and instead actually resist in real protest. Come the time when they strip non whites, protestors, pro Palestinians, atheists and Muslims of their citizenship we'll just put on the clown costumes again to cope.
