I’m really not sure what happens if the Supreme Court backs this cunt on this. It’s very clearly stated in the 14th amendment that people born in the US are citizens: “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.”
So obviously, a functional supreme court would immediately rule against him, since it’s very clearly written in as an amendment to the constitution, and their job is to interpret the fucking constitution. But this is the exact polar opposite of a functional supreme court. It’s a kangaroo court whose function, it seems, is telling the emperor that his clothes look fabulous.
If they’re allowed to just interpret a thing that very clearly says one thing as saying something else… what is the remedy for that? I mean, other than a shit load of high velocity bullet deliveries, of course. It’s not like the supreme court answers to any other body.
The kind of people who are not “subject to the jurisdiction” of the US include agents of a foreign government, such as diplomats… or invading soldiers.
That’s the problem here: He is trying to put “immigrants” in the same category as “enemy combatants”.
Ok, I get that… but we’re talking about people who were born here. How the fuck is he going to argue that babies are the foot soldiers of an invading force? Granted, I’ve met some unruly 2-year-olds… but I’m not worried about my ability to take them in a fight.

That means they are “subject of the jurisdiction thereof.” If they weren’t subject to the jurisdiction, that would mean they are not here illegally.
