In reply to the discussion: Trump has a social media toddler tantrum after attending SCOTUS birthright citizenship hearing [View all]Ilikepurple
(679 posts)16. I hope the Court goes 9-0 because none of them will follow Trump this far down the road.
Im not saying this one isnt, but most of Trumps agenda, besides self enrichment and aggrandization, is either to settle petty beefs or part of a result of some right wing ideologue whispering in his ear. I am sure some of the current Justices wish the Constitution supported the end of birthright citizenship even more than Trump does, but I am hoping, like you, that they send the message that there is only so far theyll go to support him or their personal right wing agendas.

Also in none of the pictures can you see the left hand. I say it was behind his back, fingers crossed.

Everything is "STUPID" to this "social media toddler". He is a joke, a farce. I'm sure he has dementia.

They found out the hard way but got stuck. We found out the hard way and did it again.

I'm not sure how Mexico's policies determine the content of our Constitution. I find your reply otherwise informative

Even though Mexico has birthright citizenship in their constitution, it's not as easy to get a birth certificate as US

Thank you for the response. I'm trying to digest this info with little knowledge of Mexican constitutional protections.

DJ is also just a school playground bully. He thinks that SCOTUS is part of his playground.

There are countries that will consider you a citizen if you were born there whether you like it or not. They will always

More countries have birthright citizenship than a constitutional right to own guns
