Correct. The architect is Stephen Miller.
The influence and style is white supremacist and neo-Nazi.

Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.

Stephen Miller made the same claims and this would be an *excellent* time for mainstream folks (papers, celebs, athletes) and Dems to demand his resignation as well. So consistently and loudly that the WH is forced to respond. Make him their liability.

If we ever have a free election again, and are fortunate enough to loosen the NatCs grip on power, we must NEVER allow another impotent administration like Biden’s administration to get power. We must NEVER allow them to weakly allow fascism to fulminate. We need to hound them.

I spent my formative years reading about Latin American dictatorships - disappearances, torture, etc. - all perpetrated by individuals trained at the School of the Americas. And every moment of that reading was spent thinking: sooner or later this will all happen here as well.

This being the case, blue states need to exploit this to our benefit. Blue states must enshrine birthright citizenship and incentivize immigration. Red state losses should be our gain. Investing in immigration will ensure we maintain economic advantage as the country Balkanizes.
as for the upshot of the decision, the republican court has put the citizen children of non-citizens in a position similar to that of free blacks during the antebellum period. their right to enjoy the privileges and immunities of american citizenship will vary according to state borders
