Like Rain in the Night
Here are excerpts of several pertinent articles on the June 2026 SCOTUS birthright citizenship decision, including Alito's and Thomas's vehement dissents, John C. Eastman's comments, and Schlichter's optimism: SCOTUS Sadly Affirms Birthright Citizenship.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that the Fourteenth Amendment has been misinterpreted, and now SCOTUS has enshrined that misinterpretation because they don't want to rock the boat with a correct Constitutional interpretation.
As an Investor's Business Daily editorial stated in 2005:
Becoming a U.S. citizen should require more than your mother successfully sneaking past the U.S. Border Patrol.
Yet these fools on the court (Roberts, Barrett, and Kavanaugh) and idiots (the leftists on the court) will now watch the ship slowly sink. John Derbyshire observed that:
As I have explained many times to foreign friends, since it was explained to me by a learned man when I first came to this country, the justices of SCOTUS are not very exceptional persons. They are not even very exceptional lawyers.
I don't think Congress will pass clarifying interpretation. A Convention of States won't occur in the forseeable future; thus a Constitutional Amendment isn't on the horizon. Even if a convention were convened, blue states would counter a conservative agenda.
As Schlichter said, the courts move slowly. But we don't have a generation or two to wait for a possible change in interpretation, as was the case with Heller. The next Democrat administration will open the floodgates, with obvious consequences. In the meantime, CCP commie moms will be dropping anchor babies like rain in the night.
Angelo Codevilla said that much of the Constitution is a dead letter. It's not that it is irrelevant to our country and the crises at hand. Rather, it was drafted at a time when societal and legal challenges moved at a snail's pace compared to today. The crises of today are leveraged by technologies such as air travel and instantaneous communication which were unimaginable by our founding fathers.
In that sense, our Constitution and our country are being overwhelmed by the speed of change. Time is not on our side.
