SCOTUS agrees to hear birthright citizenship case

Original Article

The Supreme Court on Friday agreed to hear the case over President Donald Trump's executive order directing federal agencies to interpret the 14th Amendment as excluding birthright citizenship to the children of illegal aliens and tourists, CBS News reported. Trump imposed the order as a means of combating the practice of birth tourism and the creation of "anchor babies", intended to present an obstacle to deportations. Thus far, the Department of Justice has struggled to defend the order in the lower courts and it remains unclear whether the conservative friendly justices will be more receptive to their arguments.

About time. China has been sending pregnant women over here for years, so that their babies are now Americans and can receive all of our services.

Sure seem clear to this simple man. "subject to the jurisdiction of" seems to exclude tourists and illegals who are subject to the jurisdiction of their home country. We already recognize that children of ambassadors are not citizens, yes?

The oral arguments in this case will be very interesting to hear. The questions from each Justice will also be very telling and interesting. I hope and pray that whoever is arguing for the Trump administration has all of their ducks in a row.

Let's hope that we get what we want. I am worried that they will decide that "anyone born in the USA to anyone is a automatic citizen" and lock that down.

The so-called "birthright" clause was put into the Constitution - - because the country was brand new and not every parent at the time was a born citizen or a naturalized citizen. Once the next generation had been born - - the clause became irrelevant. Only the children or born or naturalized citizens are automatically citizens. Everyone else goes to the back of the line.

During a discussion on immigration on the UK's Sky News, the guest said, "Like almost all countries in the world, the UK does not have birthright citizenship." Why is the US burdened by an absurd ruling originally pertaining to children of slaves? Let's hope the Supremes get this right!

It is a wonder that anyone believes the lies these media outlets put out. The truly scary thing about this is how many people do believe these lies.

Left-led UK government follows up attacking Magna Carta and frequent social media arrests by announcing it is yet again postponing elections and moving to introduce a nationwide facial camera recognition system. Brexit leader Nigel Farage eviscerated the left-wing British government for piling depredations upon depredations on the British people, as they announced yet another postponement of local elections without good reason, on the same day they moved to roll out China-style facial recognition cameras. Speaking at a Reform Party press conference, Mr Farage said of these “monstrous” changes: …today’s the day we learn that there will be surveillance cameras not just in our big cities, but literally in every single village.

A former aide to New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D), who has been accused of being a covert Chinese agent, boasted in text messages that her boss was "much more obedient" than her predecessor, Andrew Cuomo. The comments, part of the evidence presented at Linda Sun's corruption trial, were made during a discussion aimed at convincing Cuomo, the governor at the time, to film a speech commemorating the Lunar New Year. Sun indicated to a Chinese official that she could get the then-Lt. Gov. to do it instead. “She (Hochul) is much more obedient

The arrest of Brian Cole Jr. on Thursday in connection with the J6 pipe bombing incident is a huge story. But make no mistake, this story is about to be memory-holed by the mainstream media… and fast. Federal authorities arrested 30-year-old Brian Cole Jr. of Virginia for allegedly planting pipe bombs outside the RNC and DNC headquarters on the night of January 5, 2021. For four years, Biden’s FBI failed to break the case while the pipe bombs were used as political ammunition against Trump supporters. As PJ Media previously reported, Cole’s arrest did not result from new tips or a brave new witness suddenly emerging from the shadows; it was because

Hell has frozen over, and take cover; pigs are flying. The New York Times has told the truth, and in so doing, defended Donald Trump and SecWar Pete Hegesth. The stakes are high: Polls show trust in the media at an all-time low with less than 20 percent of citizens trusting television or print media. Yet, reporters and academics continue to destroy the core principles that sustain journalism and ultimately the role of a free press in our society. Notably, writers who have been repeatedly charged with false or misleading columns are some of the greatest advocates for dropping objectivity in journalism. The Times’ sudden embrace

There's good news for Republicans on the congressional redistricting front Thursday evening, as the Supreme Court has now granted Texas' application to stay a divided three-judge district court panel ruling that enjoined the use of the newly drawn map. Following the panel decision in mid-November, Texas appealed directly to the Supreme Court (as is permitted in redistricting cases), and the court swiftly issued an administrative (temporary) stay of the lower court decision. On Thursday, in a 6-3 ruling, the court formally stayed the panel decision pending its appeal on the merits. The practical effect of this

Hoo boy. Sometimes, you might do something so embarrassing, so humiliating, that you want to hide in the closet. The prestigious science journal Nature may be thinking about doing that right about now, because on Wednesday, they officially retracted an influential 2024 climate report that predicted gloom and doom, death and misery, and impending economic catastrophe.

Trump and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced the reset in the Oval Office while flanked by Republican lawmakers and auto industry leaders. “We’re officially terminating Joe Biden’s ridiculously burdensome, horrible, actually, CAFE standards that impose expensive restrictions and all sorts of problems to auto makers,” Trump said. The president noted that the CAFE standards imposed by the previous administration impacted both domestic and foreign manufacturers making cars for the American market and, in turn, consumers.

House Judiciary Committee chairman Jim Jordan (R., Ky.) is compelling former special counsel Jack Smith to testify behind closed doors about his criminal prosecutions of President Trump. Jordan subpoenaed Smith Wednesday to have him testify at a deposition on December 17 and provide documents to the committee ahead of the interview. “Due to your service as Special Counsel, the Committee believes that you possess information that is vital to its oversight of this matter,” Jordan said in a letter accompanying the subpoena. The subpoena to have Smith testify privately comes after Smith requested a public hearing to dispel what he considers Republican misconceptions about his cases against Trump.

Vladimir Putin is blaming his European counterparts for sabotaging peace talks to end the war in Ukraine that he started almost four years ago — and even raised the possibility of expanding the conflict to take on the European powers. Ahead of a meeting with U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff, Putin lambasted Europe for “putting forward demands that are absolutely unacceptable for Russia.” “They themselves refused peace negotiations and are interfering with President Trump,” Putin added. Putin also suggested that Russia would be prepared to fight Europe in a broader war if the conflict in Ukraine escalates.

TOKYO, Dec 5 - American actor and playwright Jeremy O. Harris, known for the Tony-nominated "Slave Play", was arrested last month at an airport in Japan on suspicion of attempting to smuggle illegal drugs into the country, local authorities said late on Thursday. Harris, 36, was stopped on November 16 at Naha Airport on Okinawa island after a customs officer discovered 0.78 grams of crystal containing the synthetic narcotic MDMA in his tote bag, an Okinawa Regional Customs spokesperson said. He was immediately arrested on suspicion of violating Japan's Narcotics and Psychotropics Control Act.

Afghanistan’s Taliban made a 13-year-old carry out a public execution in front of thousands of onlookers, shooting a man who had killed more than a dozen members of the boy’s family. An estimated 80,000 people gathered at a sports stadium in the southeastern province of Khost to witness the horrific spectacle, condemned by the UN as “inhuman and cruel”. The convicted murderer, called Mangal, and two others had been found guilty of killing 13 members of the teenager’s family, including several children and women. The killer was sentenced to ‘Qisas’ - a retaliation punishment under Sharia law similar to the Biblical principle of ‘an eye for an eye’. The Supreme Court said

The shooting of two National Guard members in Washington last week has taken a jarring new turn, and the emerging theory about the gunman’s motive points to a far deeper national security threat. Rahmanullah Lakanwal, the 29-year-old Afghan national accused of killing Army Spc. Sarah Beckstrom and critically wounding Air Force Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, had served alongside U.S. forces in Afghanistan before Joe Biden’s botched withdrawal. If you’ve been wondering why someone who once helped American troops would suddenly target National Guardsmen, you’re not the only one asking that question. Federal investigators now believe the Taliban may have blackmailed Lakanwal into carrying out the attack.

The arrests come after Bloomberg News reported in May how the brothers allegedly compromised data across several agencies, including the IRS and the General Services Administration.
