    From JVL's of The Bulwark blog: 

    The Supreme Court issued its birthright citizenship ruling this morning and it’s worse than just about everyone feared it could be.

    The Court’s ruling is composed of two main parts.

    The first is its declaration that it is possible that the president can contradict the plain-text reading of the Constitution by issuing an executive order doing away with birthright citizenship.

    The second is that lower courts can no longer issue nationwide injunctions against blatantly unconstitutional policies imposed by the executive. Injunctions must now be created on a patchwork basis.

    I want to impress upon you how dangerous this is. SCOTUS has empowered the president to impose whatever he likes—irrespective of its constitutionality—and then prevented judicial overview except at the localized level.¹ Meaning that we will now have two sets of laws. One that operates in Red America and one that Operates in Blue America.

    What did you say when the trumpeters refused to testify? That it was a sign of guilt?


     Anthony Bernal, former Assistant to the President and Senior Advisor to the First Lady, is now refusing to appear on June 26, 2025, for a transcribed interview as part of the Committee’s investigation into the cover-up of President Joe Biden’s mental decline and potentially unauthorized use of autopen for sweeping pardons and other executive actions.”

    She was completely oblivious that she was cementing her legacy, in a way opposite of anything she could have imagined. 

    She picked herself over the party. Over the country. Just like the Biden puppeteers. Can’t say it was Joe, cause he was clearly not calling the shots.

    If President Joe Biden did it then it was wrong and the worst thing in history.

    Let me know when he’s indicted, tried and convicted, eh? Oh yea, there won’t be a trial. That’s so yesterday. Just snatched off the street and disappeared or found on the sidewalk having fallen out of a window.

    Let’s not forget that all three COOTWH nominees and now justices lied under oath during their confirmation hearings. They should be impeached and removed. Unfortunately, no mechanisms exist for such an exercise. A glaring oversight by y the founding fathers. And Dems get pilloried for some former Brandon White House high level staffer refusing to answer a request for deposition regarding cognitive abilities and auto-pens, seemingly ignorant of the number, depth and scope of COOTWH officials who did the same with nary a peep from some.

    Sounds about right, eh? Both sides are the same, playing by the same rules and following them, right?

    To Do List:

    1) Find great-great grandparent's immigration papers at Ellis Island.  
    2) Confirm they marked the boxes correctly.
    3) Find my great-grandparent's, grandparent's,  parent's and my birth certificates and get depositions with hospital witnesses
    4) Still not enough.  Learn key spanish words for prison in El Salvador.  

    MAGA is handing over their country to the whims of tyrants and they are fine with it because for now that tyrant finds MAGA useful.

    So how many generations do you have to go back in family tree to be considered real American? I’m 100% Chilean both parents born there my dear mother died here I’ll never be American even though I carry American passport, just recently I renewed my Chilean citizenship so I can just move there and be able to tap into free healthcare if needed.

    And I forgot to mention that Clarence and Alito are bought and paid for and yet, yet, all we hear about is the Dems’ corruption and perpetuation of the most corrupt political fraud in history.

    No wonder we’re where we are.

    BREAKING: The three liberal Supreme Court justices release a scathing dissent after the Republican-controlled judges issue an anti-LGBTQ ruling that "ushers in a new reality" that will deny children the "opportunity to practice living in our multicultural society."

    This is only the third time that Sonia Sotomayor has read her dissent from the bench, indicating strong disapproval...

    "Exposing students to the ‘message’ that LGBTQ people exist, and that their loved ones may celebrate their marriages and life events, the majority says, is enough to trigger the most demanding form of judicial scrutiny," Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote, supported by justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson.

    The ruling was made in favor of a group of parents who want to opt their children out of elementary school lessons that include LGBTQ storybooks. The case will now go back to a lower court for final decision on whether schools must provide such an opt-out option. 

    Thanks to the Republican justices, school districts must now inform parents in advance of the books being read in class and allow them to pull their children if they choose. For underfunded schools, this additional burden will be too much to bear. It adds administrative costs and distracts teachers who are already struggling to teach overcrowded classrooms. Taken in tandem with the Trump administration's efforts to completely eliminate the Department of Education, it's a grim omen of things to come.

    Crucially, the decision is a blatant handout to the religious radicals who helped put Donald Trump in power, which in turn tilted the court even more conservative. Such people want to pretend that LGBTQ people don't even exist.

    "Given the great diversity of religious beliefs in this country, countless interactions that occur every day in public schools might expose children to messages that conflict with a parent’s religious beliefs. If that is sufficient to trigger strict scrutiny, then little is not," Sotomayor continued.

    She predicted that the decision will cause "chaos for this Nation’s public schools."

    "Requiring schools to provide advance notice and the chance to opt out of every lesson plan or story time that might implicate a parent’s religious beliefs will impose impossible administrative burdens on schools,” she continued. "The harm will not be borne by educators alone: Children will suffer too. Classroom disruptions and absences may well inflict long-lasting harm on students’ learning and development."

    "Worse yet, the majority closes its eyes to the inevitable chilling effects of its ruling,” she went on. “Many school districts, and particularly the most resource strapped, cannot afford to engage in costly litigation over opt-out rights or to divert resources to tracking and managing student absences. Schools may instead censor their curricula, stripping material that risks generating religious objections."

    "The Court’s ruling, in effect, thus hands a subset of parents the right to veto curricular choices long left to locally elected school boards," she added. "Because I cannot countenance the Court’s contortion of our precedent and the untold harms that will follow, I dissent.”

    i am waiting to be told how this is all the democrats fault....
    Because the dems perpetuated the greatest political fraud in history by lying and covering up Brandon’s mental decline and didn’t allow us a choice in November 2024. And because my mom hasn’t evicted me from her basement. Yet.


    What did you say when the trumpeters refused to testify? That it was a sign of guilt?


    ” Anthony Bernal, former Assistant to the President and Senior Advisor to the First Lady, is now refusing to appear on June 26, 2025, for a transcribed interview as part of the Committee’s investigation into the cover-up of President Joe Biden’s mental decline and potentially unauthorized use of autopen for sweeping pardons and other executive actions.”
    what is worse. biden using an autopen or trump using a real pen to pardon 1500 insurrectionists?
    oh yeah biden because "ThEy DiD tHe WoRsT pOlItIcAl ScAnDaL iN aLl AmEriCaN hIsToRy!!11"

    i forgot.


    That’s just like the dems, running things like a pimply fifteen yr old.

    I care about this story insofar it’s just the type of thing that wins elections for the right. A smart party is prepared for the worst…So all the maga left on here laugh and laugh. Lo and behold, congress is investigating, senior aides and doctors were subpoenaed , some refusing to testify. That’ll look good when he runs for his third term.

    hysterical. Let’s go get us a socialist mayor. That’ll show em.
