Maybe so, but it isn't any of the Supreme Court's business. The 14th amendment is very clear. And yep, if you don't like that amendment, you're free to advocate for a new amendment that says something different.
It wasn't up to the Supreme Court to correct. It is very plainly written in the constitution. Sure you can disagree, but it is up to elected representatives in Congress to amend, not Trump or the Supreme Court.
It's not a "policy" it's a constitutional right.
Why do people act like the sky is suddenly falling when the Court just keeps things as they have been for two and a half centuries?
We can collect income tax from children of tourists who happen to be born in the US on vacation? Great!
Truly insane that this is one of the most important founding aspects of the country. Without which most, if not all, the population wouldn't legally be allowed to live here. But yet, you don't understand that.
I’m curious why you believe an amendment will help your situation.
This case (placed alongside many others in recent memory) demonstrates that no matter how clear and unequivocal a legal text you write, the textualists can find a way to overturn it.
So what specific legal text for this amendment of yours do you believe is immune from that degree of sophistry?
The number of times this happens in a year is negligible. It’s also quite difficult to do it safely: airlines won’t allow you to fly when heavily pregnant, and emergency deliveries are incredibly expensive due to the American healthcare system.
So you are suggesting abrogating rights based on an event that occurs with minuscule probability. Get a grip.
Agreed, especially when the “vacation” is actually birth tourism and the mother lied at the border.
Idk if it's a "truly insane policy", but these are the rules of the game, and there is a procedure in place for changing the rules of the game.
