And to issue the order after work hours and when the underlying case is on appeal (divesting jurisdiction) and to falsely claim it was sua sponte?

That is corrupt. I don’t throw that around lightly but I honestly cannot think of a better word for a lawyer who does that.

It's the Lost Cause's long march through the institutions, all the way down. They hate this country just like their secesh forebears did; though at least an Alexander Stephens type was honest about it and trashed the Founding for being too egalitarian, instead of mendaciously claiming their mantle

If a man born without legal rights was nonetheless a citizen by virtue of having been born in Virginia, then obviously someone born in Virginia to an undocumented mother is also a citizen. And if these guys think Dred Scott was rightly decided, they really ought to say so.

Also worth noting that “jus soli birthright citizenship wasn’t the baseline rule in 1868” is irreconcilable with “Dred Scott was wrongly decided.”

NZ isn’t in the western hemisphere. Every country in the Americas has unrestricted jus soli birthright citizenship except for Colombia, the Dominican Republic, and France.

It’s not an overcorrection for slavery. It’s what the law has been in the US since 1791, notwithstanding a brief interruption in the wake of Dred Scott. The 14th Amendment didn’t create jus soli; it reaffirmed it and clarified that there’s not an exception for black people.

Nearly every country in the entire western hemisphere has unrestricted jus soli birthright citizenship, same as the US

It’s a little difficult to answer those questions without violating the website’s terms of service

I’d say 1791. It’s part of the common law that we inherited from the British, and it was only briefly interrupted by Roger Taney’s nonsense before the 14th Amendment set things right.

“Truly I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these, you did it to me.”

If your goal is a Catholic theocracy in the United States, there seems to be a bit of tension there in backing the people currently trying to purge the nation of its largest predominantly Catholic ethnic group.

I just wish Trump had been clear on the campaign trail about his tolerance for this kind of thing, instead of saying cryptic, ambiguous stuff like “war crimes are good, actually” and “if I’m elected, we are gonna start doing more war crimes.”

The sad irony is Miller is the one who has failed to assimilate properly into our society. He's the one that's bringing the broken terror and pogroms of his ancestors homelands to the US

It’s insane how little people on the right know about pirating books
