SCOTUS to Consider If We Can Just Stop Being America Now
The idea that a president can dictate who is, or isn't, a citizen after birth on U.S. soil directly contradicts the 14th Amendment. This same amendment, enacted post-Civil War (1868), solidified citizenship for formerly enslaved individuals, ensuring no state could deny their rights. Now, it's being questioned to validate xenophobic migration policies. It's less about 'constitutional debate' and
more about judicial activism laying groundwork to redefine who belongs. We saw this playbook with abortion rights: appoint ideologues, find a legal 'loophole,' then overturn long-standing precedent. Expect to hear selective historical readings and dire warnings about 'national security'—anything to ignore the plain text of the Constitution and the human dignity it's supposed to protect. The
question isn't 'can they?' it's 'will they get away with it?'
