No "birthright citizenship" means nobody can prove they are a citizen. If you have any immigrant ancestor and you cannot prove lawful status at that time, even if it was 1830, you citizenship is in doubt.
Take this as far back as you like. The maximal consequence is that everyone must show a chain of citizenship or lawful permanent residency at time of birth for every ancestor to the point of immigration.

An internal list of military targets? Naming everyone on board, fulfilling wartime rules of engagement, ready in time for a covert boat trip, but requiring 40 minutes to justify a second strike?

May we see it?
EXCLUSIVE: Pete Hegseth ordered the U.S. military on Sept. 2 to kill all 11 people on a suspected drug-smuggling boat because they were on an internal list of military targets, the commander overseeing the operation told lawmakers, according to multiple sources.
Admiral told lawmakers everyone on alleged drug boat was on a list of military targets
Adm. Frank Bradley said U.S. intelligence had identified the 11 people on the boat and determined the military was authorized to kill them as part of Trump’s campaign against alleged drug-smuggling vessels.

The end of that story in the Bible is Jesus telling the Pharisees to go learn what it means for the Lord to say “I desire mercy and not sacrifice.”
Quite the shift from "I think if you do something bad you should die" immediately to "as they say in the Bible..."

again, the supreme court did not write the constitution (or the declaration) and—despite what you may think—they don't have the monopoly on the interpretation of those documents.

the people have a say, and if the court is out of step with the people, that's a problem for the court, not the governed
i think to understand the meaning of the birthright citizenship clause to the framers of the 14th amendment, you have to understand significance of dred scott to the civil war republican party. dred scott wasn't just a bad ruling, it was understood as a rejection of the declaration itself.

This is why, when President Slurs McSundown passes away, it's going to be a battle royale as all these selfish grifters shank each other before the funeral is over.
see the thing about them all being the worst people in the world is that even when one of them gets killed they can't create a proper cult of martyrdom around him because the others get jealous he's getting all the attention.

The Supreme Court does not have the power to repeal the 14th and 15th amendments. Any purported attempt to do so is void and renders the court illegitimate.

If birthright citizenship is undone in any way, that would mean that none of us are bound to the Constitutional framework at that point.

If citizenship rights are not secure, they’re not secure. Full stop. The admin has admitted it wants mass politicized denationalization. Nullification of birthright citizenship is indeed a form of that, and there will be ever new forms after it

Hunter S Thompson was a very good writer. See his early pieces, Hell's Angels, etc. By the time he got to Rolling Stone he was so out of his mind on drugs/megalomania that everything he filed was unprintable. The famous Fear & Loathing-era stuff was assembled by Sara Lippincott & Harriet Fier..
considering developing the blistering hot take that actually you can't tell whether an American journalist is any good at writing until they publish a book, they're so intensely edited in the US press that you just can't have opinions on their actual prose otherwise
I just want to stress that this has nothing to do with the rest of the chapter. She has an epigraph, a bizarre intro paragraph, a description of Britney Spears dancing in 2002 and then a section about Donald Trump promoting birtherism.
