Kavanaugh finally spoke up and while it didn't appear to tip the scales one way or the other fully, it was giving very "Help me help you" vibes to the SG. I don't think he wants to look bad in front of Daddy Trump. Assuming that piece of shit is actually still conscious.
I have dual citizenship (USA and German) and the valuable one is the the German. It let's me live anywhere in the Schengen Area and access all the Socialist Benefits (universal healthcare, worker protection- I get one month vacation time plus paid leave to care for a loved one or myself). Honestly what does USA offer? The Right to work myself sick and then declare bankruptcy because the medical bills are out of this world. It pains me to say this. I'm a vet (USMC 79-99) I BELIEVED in the mission to bring democracy to parts of the world. Turns out it was a great big hoax. Anyway I now live in Barcelona and never was happier.
This smug, fast-talking fascist solicitor general had to think about the question of whether children of tribal Indians are birthright citizens. "I think so?" ... But I'd have to think about it," he finally said.
Harvard, it appears. But that said, there's been a number of observations that once he tripped Gorsuch's "Native American" wire, he was done for. Oddly, the one thing Gorsuch seems to be good on is Tribal issues.
My Irish immigrant family arrived here in the US alongside Chinese immigrants. All worked together building America's railroads.
This is one of the reasons it meant so much to my family to host a Chinese exchange student so that she could attend school in America. We haven't forgotten where we came from.
So it would be retroactive? What about people born here to people born here? How many generations back would the anti-born-here law work? I mean, who among us isn't the product of an immigration at some point in the past (barring indigenous folks)?
My favorite thing so far is the asshat’s statement that trump’s order is prospective—so there’s another wrinkle—arguing that the 14th amendment does allow birthright citizenship up until some arbitrary date.
How are people like me supposed to feel about the fact that some very educated people tried to warn everyone else about this right after he signed that EO -- but not enough people gave a damn
From the sounds of things, Trump's newest favoritest lawyer is getting absolutely bodied. This is shaping up to be a 7-2 kind of decision. Read one account that said Thomas and Alito are looking for literally any flimsy pretense to support this, but say he's clearly lost Gorsuch and ACB. Nobody seems able to read Kavanaugh. Maybe he needs some alka-seltzer to fight off the hangover and ask a question or two.
I need to stipulate . . . real bad.
Sweet fucking Christ on a cracker. That gawdawful "only applies to domiciliaries" shit might actually fly.
Anybody who f*cks with the Fourteenth Amendment is asking for a re-play of the war that had to be fought so that we could have a Fourteenth Amendment.
It really is not healthy for me to feel so much anger and so much fear so much of the time. Not healthy at all.
Sauer has finally finished. I don't think I could have stood his voice for much longer.
Bonespurs McChildrape left after Sauer finished up.
Him, and Marsha Blackburn - like fingernails on a chalkboard.

I’m not sure but I think the Drumpfitistas may be arguing there actually are no Americans.
… sure you may have ancestors in the Clovis culture. But THEIR ancestors came here from Siberia. Go back to your Yaranga, Amlliq.
(… possibly acceptable: if you can prove the Tiktaalik from which you are descended first walked on the land at an approved border station.)

Help me out here. It's in the Constitution... but scotus can change it? WTF?

Yale Law School, I'm wagering

All too damned entirely accurate.

They’re arguing it’s not retroactive—that it would only apply going forward from an arbitrary date, which is somehow more stupid.
"Since truth is absolute, nobody ever interpreted the Fourteenth Amendment correctly until just now."
"However, since truth is time-dependent, former interpretations of the Fourteenth Amendment were all correct until just before now."
Don't forget the right to vote in a discussion of motives for this claque of latter day Lost Cause devotees.
Not enough people paying attention to this

#KKKAVANAUGHSTOP doesn't want his "legacy" to be any worse than it already is
He already demonstrated what he wants with that concurrence NOBODY ASKED FOR
But he knows how it will read precisely because he already showed that hand

OT: Here is a doggo walking happily down the street.
Thanks, birb! I have a bad case of the blahs today and that at least made me smile. Love the way she avoided the puddle.
When you're the government and you're getting skeptical questions from Clarence Thomas...
It's suddenly hitting him
"Oh, they mean me too"
