4. The fact there is any dissent is sickening

It's literally written in plain English in the Constitution. This isn't some interpretation of related text to some issue, it is as plain as could be,
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."

The fact we have fascists on the SCOTUS who read that and are willing to pretend it doesn't mean what it says is just disgusting.
