Justice Clarence Thomas, in a lengthy dissent, took the majority to task for interpreting the Constitution to mean that citizenship is automatically conferred on anyone born in the United States, regardless of the legal status of the parents.
Thomas argued that the ruling “devalues” what it means to be an American citizen.
In a 6-3 decision on Tuesday, the majority held that an executive order President Donald Trump issued on the first day of his second term violated the Constitution. The order directed that only children born on American soil to legal residents are automatically citizens of the United States. The Fourteenth Amendment states, in part, “All persons born or naturalized in

If only the memories of Joe Biden’s presidency could fade as fast.
Former First Lady Jill Biden’s memoir “View from the East Wing” has drawn its share of much-deserved mockery since its June 2 release, but nothing describes its failure better than the speed that it disappeared from the New York Times Best Sellers list after debuting at No. 1 a few short weeks ago. It’s enough to make an American wonder if maybe there was something fishy about it in the first place. Well, turns out there was — and for a change, The New York Times itself provided the clues.

EXCLUSIVE — The author of multiple books on healthcare compliance was sentenced Tuesday to federal prison for fraudulently billing Medicare as part of a $136 million scheme that spanned several U.S. states, the Washington Examiner has learned.
Jean Wilson, 54, received a 10-year prison sentence, followed by three years of supervised release, in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey for her role in the medical billing scam involving illegal kickbacks and massive quantities of phony prescriptions. According to the superseding indictment, Wilson owned and operated two telehealth companies that paid medical providers to place bulk orders of orthotic devices and prescription drugs for Medicare patients

The U.S. Supreme Court just handed birthright citizenship to illegal immigrants’ children and birth tourists; the implications for young Americans will be severe.
In Trump v. Barbara, SCOTUS struck down President Donald Trump’s January 2025 executive order that would have denied automatic U.S. citizenship to children born in the U.S. if neither parent was a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident. This part of the decision was somewhat expected. However, Chief Justice Roberts, writing for the majority, enshrined in the U.S. Constitution the principle that nearly all children born on U.S. soil are citizens at birth. There is a narrow exception for children born to foreign diplomats, but other than

Chief Justice John Roberts declared Tuesday that all foreigners have a claim to American citizenship, so long as they happen to be born here. In doing so, as Justice Samuel Alito pointed out, he reimposed the British system of subjecthood totally rejected by the American founders “only days before” the country is set to celebrate its 250th anniversary of independence from that very system.
“According to the Court, the Fourteenth Amendment’s Citizenship Clause codified the British rule of birthright subjecthood with only one new exception, which was needed to accommodate the unique status of American Indians,” Alito wrote, dissenting from Roberts’ attempt to reimpose medieval feudalism. “That is a curious claim,

In dissents released today, Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito slammed the historical illiteracy of Chief Justice John Roberts in imposing a “medieval English ‘feudal’ principle” on the American people, allowing any foreigner to become a citizen simply by being born on American soil.
In his majority opinion for the court, Roberts strained to reimpose a form of feudalism soundly rejected by the American Founding. That legal principle guarantees random foreigners the privilege of American citizenship through an English common law basis that the Founders rejected. Feudalism reflected a king-subject relationship based on soil, and the Roberts court’s reasoning imposed that alien tradition

Congressional conservatives are slamming the Supreme Court of the United States after it ruled to strike down a request from the president to redefine birthright citizenship.
The 6-3 decision comes after President Donald Trump’s administration argued that the birthright citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution applied to descendants of slaves in the 1800s, and not to the chain migration the United States has been subject to in recent decades.
Chief Justice John Roberts delivered the opinion of the Court, joined by Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, Amy Coney Barrett, and Ketanji Brown Jackson. Brett Kavanaugh concurs in part in the judgment and dissents in part.

Rep. Ro Khanna (D., Calif.) has emerged as a potential contender for the Democratic presidential nomination while denouncing the ultra-rich who "hoard wealth and engage in financial speculation." But the progressive, Silicon Valley congressman and his family live a life of staggering luxury, fueled by dynastic wealth they did not earn and protected by the same thicket of trusts, anonymous corporations, and foundations that Khanna condemns.
Khanna lives in a $6 million, 8,000-square-foot luxury home with a four-story elevator and so much premium marble that even the two laundry rooms have marble counters. The Northwest Washington, D.C., home is now for sale, as the Khanna family prepares to move to

We're headed into the dog days of summer, so it's not surprising that the topic of air conditioning is on the minds of many Americans these days. A heatwave has been pummeling much of Europe for the past week, and the East Coast of the United States is about to be placed firmly under a "heat dome," with temperatures expected to climb into the 100s later this week in Virginia and North Carolina. Our ACs will be humming, to be sure, along with the usual warnings of possible "rolling brownouts" to keep the power grids operational during the surge in usage.
And no one is loving our temperature-controlled houses, more

Democrat administrations in 25 states and the District of Columbia on Monday filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration over its recent guidance on new Medicaid work requirements, arguing that strict eligibility requirements will prevent eligible Americans from accessing care.
The governors and attorneys general who filed the lawsuit allege that an interim released earlier this month from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services oversteps the text of the GOP’s budget reconciliation bill passed last year that overhauled Medicaid. Medicaid, a federal-state joint program, provides health insurance coverage for low-income adults, pregnant women, and children, covering roughly 72 million adults and an additional 7.3 million minors.

Monday’s bombshell Supreme Court ruling established that “election day” isn’t really election day at all; it’s a period of time. Specifically, the court decided 5-4 in Watson v. RNC that states could count mail-in ballots even if they were received after the election date, as long as they were postmarked in time. Naturally, many conservatives, including President Trump, were deeply disappointed by the decision, which to many seemed to defy common sense and the notion of election integrity. California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) and his ilk were almost certainly cheering; after all, they still haven’t certified the governor’s primary, which was held on June 2.
A clown show.

Expert stock picker Nancy Pelosi revealed her post-Congress retirement plan Monday.
The 86-year-old Pelosi has spent 40 years in Congress, building an incredible stock portfolio while leading the Democratic Party, and will finally retire in January. Her next project will be a fake “bipartisan” academic center at the University of California, Berkeley, aptly named the Nancy Pelosi Institute, where students and future civic “leaders” will be brainwashed beginning in January 2027. “I think all of us in public service who have an opportunity to do so want to use our experience to train leaders for the future,”
