All it really does, is give plaintiff groups around the country 30 more days, to amend their suits -- to bring them on behalf of all persons in the US, as a class -- who were born here. This is a silly decision, in the main (by the six conservatives). It in no manner contradicts the plain English commands, of the 14th Amendment. See below, from NPR.
. . .The amendment says: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States." It was enacted in 1866 after the civil war and aimed at reversing the Supreme Court's infamous Dred Scott decision, which had declared that Black people, enslaved or free, could not be citizens. It has always been applied to anyone born in the U.S. And the Supreme Court on Friday did nothing to change that 150 year understanding. . . .
So yes -- this is a punt, as the main merits case continues toward a plain reading of the Constitution -- one which refutes completely, Trump's "fringer-ish" theories. Do stay tuned.
The Barrett opinion (obviously) only applies in THIS case -- and in a few days, all people born in the US will be named as the CLASS of plaintiffs. That will plainly support a new nationwide injunction. What a putz.
Man -- is he a terrible liar. [Out -- outdoor movies in the park with grand-nieces, tonight to see "Wicked" (again) -- and a bocce ball picnic, before. Heh.]
