SCOTUS Flips The Bird To Young Americans

Original Article

Posted By: ConservativeYankee, 6/30/2026 4:11:53 PM

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

From this well worth reading article: "SCOTUS has essentially made the U.S. an inviting environment for illegal immigrants and birth tourists, while simultaneously making it increasingly hostile for actual Americans. And the only real remedy would require a Constitutional amendment, which is not likely to happen."

Children born to foreign diplomats are not US citizens.....but children born to criminals here illegally are. INSANE and wrong.

Okay, boys and girls. It is time for all republicans to CROSS THE AISLE, and loudly agree with the democrats, the United States Supreme Court needs to be reformed to use democrats' language and it needs to be expanded. With Trump as President he should push this. Since ALL democrats agree, this should be easy to get through the House and Senate. Wouldn't y'all just love to hear what the democrats and media would say? It's time now to expand the Court. Let's all do it together!!!

Clarence Thomas Obliterates Court's Birthright
Citizenship Ruling, Says It 'Devalues'
Being an American

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

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.

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.

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,”

The Supreme Court (SCOTUS) ruled that state laws allowing for the counting of mail-in ballots after election day are not in violation of federal law, a blow to the Republican National Committee and President Donald Trump’s administration. On Monday, SCOTUS issued a 5-4 ruling that permits states to count mail-in ballots — sent on or before election day — that are received by state election officials after election day. Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote the majority’s opinion, joined by Chief Justice John Roberts as well as Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson.

A Paris politician blamed Americans and US air conditioning for the record-breaking heatwave in Europe that has resulted in more than 1,300 excess deaths. After US tourists mocked France over the lack of air conditioning across the country amid 104 degree temperatures, Audrey Pulvar, deputy mayor of Paris for international relations, claimed the situation was partly America’s fault. “Dear American journalists and social media ‘influencers’: for days, some of you have been criticizing and making fun of Paris because the city does not have A/C in every room…OMG, this is so rich!” Pulvar wrote on social media. “As the second-largest emitter of greenhouse gas emissions in the world,

The Supreme Court on Monday declined to take up President Trump’s appeal of the $5 million sexual abuse and defamation verdict that followed a lawsuit by former advice columnist E. Jean Carroll. Now Trump will have no choice but to pony up the $5 million to the 82-year-old, who has repeatedly claimed that the president sexually assaulted her in a Bergdorf Goodman fitting room during the mid-1990s. Trump’s lawyers argued that, as president, he should not be distracted from his executive duties in order to deal with “decades-old, false allegations.”

Just as his party is overrun by communist revolutionaries, Barack Obama has decided to take center stage in a frenetic public relations campaign, ostensibly to promote his so-called library. He’s here, there and everywhere, silkily opining about everything under the sun, except the only thing that matters: the disintegration of his party. Like Nero playing the fiddle while Rome burned, Obama is curiously detached from the disaster he helped create. Democrats desperately need a leader to rally around, but all they have is Obama. He is the only former Democratic president who is still sharp, charismatic and dynamic enough to take up the mantle.

The United States and Iran will reportedly "stand down for now” after a weekend of military skirmishes in the Strait of Hormuz, and both sides will try to reboot peace talks in Qatar this week. Officials told multiple news outlets, including Axios, CNN and Fox News, that there was an easing of tensions after several days of exchanging fire near the Strait. “Technical talks are slated to continue on all areas of the MOU. Both sides will stand down for now and vessels can move freely," the White House told Fox News. Axios reported that the two sides will resume talks in Doha on Tuesday.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Tuesday blocked President Donald Trump’s contentious attempt to limit citizenship at birth for those born on U.S. soil, delivering a major blow to his agenda. The court, divided 6-3, ruled that the executive order Trump issued Jan. 20, 2025, the first day of his second term, was unlawful. Five justices said the order fell foul of the Constitution’s 14th Amendment, which has long been interpreted to bestow birthright citizenship on almost anyone born in the United States.

The Supreme Court announced its final opinions of the term today, covering some of the most high-profile issues of the term. BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP: The court rejected President Donald Trump's executive order ending citizenship at birth for people born on U.S. soil. The court ruled that the executive order ran foul of the Constitution’s 14th Amendment, which has long been interpreted to bestow birthright citizenship on almost anyone born in the United States. TRANSGENDER ATHLETES: The high court, in a ruling that combined two cases, upheld state laws that ban transgender athletes from participating in girls’ and women’s sports. Two student athletes in West Virginia and Idaho sued to overturn the bans.

The radical progressive and socialist takeover of the Democratic Party poses an equal, if not greater, problem. But one would hardly know it, given our media’s selective sense of urgency.
