Supreme Court Weighs Decision on Birthright Citizenship: What To Know

[AZJonnie]

5. Wait, "if neither parent WAS"? Is this fuckhead trying to do this RETROACTIVELY?

Or is this just unclear wording by the author? SCOTUS cannot possibly strip millions of people's citizenship with the stroke of 5 pens, can they?!? Leave them all with citizenship NOWHERE?

I mean, obviously the idea that it's Constitutional even moving forward w/o a new amendment is ludicrous given the clear wording of the amendment but I cannot even fathom doing it retroactively.

Although, that might be SCOTUS's only avenue to give the Mango Menace what he wants, because they'd probably have to (arbitrarily) rule that the enforcement of the amendment all along was due to flawed interpretation and that therefore would imply that what was done in the past is null and void (similar to the tariff conundrum).

I cannot believe this is a serious question/case before them that they are considering
