There isn't a plausible argument that this order is constitutional. The Supreme Court recognized this principle more than 125 years ago. voxdotcom.visitlink.me/OcuP1K

Trump wants to reinterpret the phrasing "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" to mean that the federal government would not recognize automatic birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to parents without legal status
The point being, not only to disenfranchise children born of illegal immigrants.

It's also to create roadblocks for voting by people who can't prove their parents are citizens. Which most people would have some trouble proving, especially if you are on the poorer side of the economic ladder.

I'm sure this will help reduce the price of eggs.

- "Most legal experts agree that the EO is unconstitutional"

Well, obviously they haven't ax'ed Jeffy Turley!

Demand side economics, fewer people to buy eggs and all that...

Fewer people to supply eggs.

I don't foresee Americans rushing in to do the jobs undocumented immigrants are performing.

"Donald Trump has issued an executive order that represents a direct assault on section 1 of the 14th amendment"

This is Fuhrer Directive #1.

What a dick...dick...dick... dictatorial move.

Just the first of many.

Buckle up and pray for that aneurism.

Some MAGA won't be eating eggs for the next four years.

I understand that termites and other insects are a good source of protein.

I'm pretty sure Elon's papers are fake. I'll take over running Twitter. Couldn't possibly do a worse job than he has.

Four out of five Trump children pausing for a moment on the news ...

Herr Musk has a dozen children by several different wives.... all of whom he is moving into a hide-out house in Texas.

One wonders if all their papers will be checked by DOGE's Border Division?

Who are going around testing Gov employees on their Loyalty to Dear Leader Trump.

I want to point out a couple of things:

1. The plain language of the 3rd section of the 14th says Shitler should not be allowed to be president. This SC said otherwise

2. This SC created, out of whole cloth, immunity from prosecution for any and all crimes that fall under his core powers, whatever those are deemed to be.

3. This SC created, out of whole cloth, justification for overturning RvW.

4. This SC disregarded the clear constitutional requirements and ruled on the Student Debt relief case.

5. This SC manufactured evidence to justify a clear violation of the doctrine of separation of church and state in the Bremerton Washington case.

It is HIGHLY likely that this SC will find justification for to approve this in some form or another.

Shitler has spent a decade arguing (without merit mind you) that the undocumented immigrants are an invading army. He and the SC will use that as justification to redefine birthright citizenship

What now seems absurd will become dreaded reality.

Donald Trump has issued an executive order that represents a direct assault on section 1 of the 14th amendment.

Lewzer quotes:

"Why Is @BarackObama constantly issuing executive orders that are major power grabs of authority?"

"The country wasn't based on executive orders,"

"Right now, Obama goes around signing executive orders. He can't even get along with the Democrats, and he goes around signing all these executive orders. It's a basic disaster. You can't do it."
