Birthright citizenship

“I’ve been on the bench for over four decades, I can’t remember another case where the question presented is as clear as this one is. This is a blatantly unconstitutional order,” Coughenour, an appointee of Ronald Reagan, said from the bench. “There are other times in world history where we look back and people of goodwill can say where were the judges, where were the lawyers?”
Coughenour, speaking to a standing-room-only courtroom in downtown Seattle, interrupted before Brett Shumate, a Justice Department attorney, could even complete his first sentence.
“In your opinion is this executive order constitutional?” he asked.
Said Shumate, “It absolutely is.”
“Frankly, I have difficulty understanding how a member of the bar could state unequivocally that this is a constitutional order,” Coughenour said. “It just boggles my mind.”
Who knew that someday we might be grateful for a Reagan-appointed judge?

This is Trump working the news cycle and throwing meat to his most slavering dogs. He couldn't care less about doing away with birthright citizenship. Keeping his mug in the news is the goal. Doing outrageous things is the mechanism.
Crazy economist who likes to write about higher education.

I agree with what you're saying about Trump, that he could care less. It's the Stephen Millers that do care, and they are in a position to press forward with the issue.

I’ve the amendment and read a lot of analysis. If you read the amendment in just the right way you can get around it. There is no doubt the SCOTUS will read it exactly that way.
The gray area was written to cover the children of diplomats but no one will care.
Who’s gonna build your wall?
