Trump thinks he can change the Constitution via EO

The Constitution does not guarantee automatic citizenship to children who were born here while their parents were here illegally.

Birthright Citizenship: A Fundamental Misunderstanding of the 14th Amendment

Most modern advanced nations do not have such a suicidal policy.

The Heritage Foundation?? Seriously??

Heritage Foundation - Media Bias/Fact Check

Yes, the Heritage Foundation. The organization that teaches the truth about American history and our Constitution. The 14th Amendment has nothing to do with automatic citizenship for a non-citizen's child born here, and it also has nothing to do with same-sex marriage. It's the most abused amendment and has been twisted to say all kinds of things it doesn't say. Now we have a President that will actually enforce it.

Feel free to continue to allow your views to be shaped by far right fringe groups while you delude yourself into thinking that you actually know something.

What was the purpose of the 14th Amendment?

To extend the reach of the bill or rights to actions by the states. It was drafted in response to the issue of former slaves but that is different then the question of purpose

WASHINGTON — A federal judge in Maryland on Friday ordered evidence-gathering to begin in a lawsuit accusing President Trump of violating the Constitution by maintaining a financial interest in his company’s Washington hotel.

The plaintiffs are seeking records that could illuminate potential conflicts of interest between Mr. Trump and foreign leaders or state officials who patronize Trump International Hotel, blocks from the White House.

The judge, Peter J. Messitte of the United States District Court in Greenbelt, Md., said the Justice Department had failed to show a compelling reason to hold up the case while its lawyers appeal his earlier rulings. He ordered the parties to come up with a timeline within 20 days to produce evidence.

The lawsuit, filed by the District of Columbia and the State of Maryland, seeks for the first time to define the meaning of constitutional language that restricts the president from accepting financial benefits, so-called emoluments

Judge Messitte found earlier that the local governments had standing to sue the president, and that the emoluments clauses should be broadly interpreted as measures to protect against corruption.

The Justice Department asked for the judge’s permission to appeal his rulings and to delay discovery in the meantime. But Judge Messitte said the department could follow the typical legal process and appeal when the case is over.

“If the president is permitted to appeal the court’s decisions in piecemeal fashion, ultimate resolution of the case could be delayed significantly, perhaps for years,” he wrote. “That, as a matter of justice, cannot be countenanced.”

The judge also dismissed the president’s argument that discovery would be unduly burdensome, noting that Mr. Trump had threatened to sue his former campaign chief and others. “The president himself appears to have had little reluctance to pursue personal litigation despite the supposed distractions it imposes upon his office,” he wrote.

Norman L. Eisen, co-counsel for the plaintiffs, said they would move speedily for discovery. But the Justice Department could move to head that off within days.

In a string of other cases, the Trump administration has aggressively fought adverse legal rulings, sometimes by bypassing the appellate courts and appealing directly to the Supreme Court for extraordinary relief.

Last week, for instance, the Supreme Court temporarily delayed a deposition of Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross after a lower court ordered him to answer questions about why he wanted to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census. But then late Friday, the Supreme Court declined to halt a trial in that lawsuit

You people who think that birthright citizenship can be easily ended need to do some reading of history starting here. It has been tried before.

The Chinese case that could kill a Trump bid to end birthright citizenship

James Ho, now a Trump-appointed federal appeals court judge, wrote in 2011 that the wording of the 14th Amendment leaves no doubt that the children of undocumented residents are covered.

“The plain meaning of this language is clear,” wrote Ho, who at the time was the solicitor general of Texas.

“A foreign national living in the United States is ‘subject to the jurisdiction thereof’ because he is legally required to obey US law.”

John Yoo, a former official in President George W. Bush’s Justice Department, offered a similar assessment last week.

“According to the best reading of its text, structure and history, anyone born on American territory, no matter their national origin, ethnicity or station in life, is an American citizen,” Yoo wrote for the American Enterprise Institute.

The libs are gonna pay derely for their stone throwing, and sadly so will the nation when it falls into gridlock for decades to come.

The war the libs have going is going to backfire, because Trump is going to be one of the most popular presidents of all time.

The liberal agenda is misguided, radical, and will be their undoing.

The American's see what's going on, and they won't stand for it much longer.
