This Week: We're Relitigating 1868, Because Apparently That's Where We Are

Will SCOTUS gut the 14th amendment to serve Hair Furor, or will they do the right thing?

By Tengrain — March 30, 2026
Just for context, the 14th Amendment includes,

“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.”

The W$J reports that our illegitimate and failed SCOTUS is going to hear the birthright citizenship case this week, and that Vulgarmort is already planning on how to spin defeat (assuming a fact not in evidence):

“The case, which will be argued Wednesday, tests Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship for the children of unlawful immigrants and temporary visitors. He has gotten trounced in the lower courts, and several conservative Supreme Court justices have already hinted, through little-noticed cues, that they may be skeptical, too.”

When plain English doesn't mean plain English, you don't have a Constitution, laws, or jurisprudence. You have privilege and tyranny.
