Not for nothing but why is this fossil still on the bench after 4 decades? Pathetic.

Ah, yes. That drawing Trump made describing the tumor on his prostate.

If a Republican president can make fundamental changes to the Fourteenth Amendment with an Executive Order, a Democratic president could do the same to the Second Amendment.

Wait until Trump starts talking about taking guns away from folks, because it is coming.

Ta, Dok. Blatantly unconstitutional, and reminds me of that awful Stallone Judge Dredd film, where he snarls, "I am the LAW."

So when SCOTUS does find for PutinsBJ, CA & all blue states should immediately overturn 2nd amendment on far stronger “militia” grounds & reinstate sensible gun laws

As I posted earlier ... and as have about a zillion legal nerds in America said ... you simply cannot say "you are no longer subject to the laws of America" while at the same time same "oh yeah, you aren't an American, and aren't a tourist, and aren't here on a visa ... but you still have to pay taxes and and drive the speed limit and obey gun laws, etc etc etc" ... etc etc ad infinitum.

These are people who pay taxes, have jobs, contribute to their communities ... there is zero basis / allowance for changing at the whim of a Nazi idiot.

For people who wave around pocket Constitutions like Red Guards brandishing The Thoughts of Chairman Mao, Republicans don't seem to know what's in the Constitution. They're also trying to bypass the 22nd Amendment with legislation to allow The Very Special Boy to run for a 3rd term.

I expect the EO to get shitcanned at the SC. I also expect Trump to utterly ignore that fact. He’ll carry on as if the order is valid and in effect, continuing to issue illegal orders like withholding passports and such. Why? Because who’s going to stop him? He’s going to do whatever he wants because the only remedy is impeachment, and that ain’t happening. Even if by some miracle the House drew up and passed articles, the idea that there are nineteen Republican senators willing to convict is simply risible. This order is going to be the bellwether for the next four years. Either that, or it’s just some Overton Window bullshit to get the ball rolling. Who can tell with this lot.

Wouldn't this dumb ruling strip the citizenship from Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, too?

ALL of his children. Which is why it is not retroactive - someone pointed that out to him

Himself as well. Fred Trump was only a citizen by birthright, since his parents were illegal immigrants (his father was deported, and then sneaked back in to the country), and Mary McLeod Trump was an illegal immigrant (overstayed her visa).
