A thread on birthright citizenship I wrote in 2018, that unfortunately remains relevant.
I always thought this was where it was all headed. Abolishing birthright citizenship for the non-white and non-rich. And why I teach on United States v. Wong Kim Ark every semester.

Trump’s team says he can take a $400 million gift, Bribe Force One, from the dictator of Qatar because it’s transparent. Well, you can rob a bank in broad daylight but it’s still bank robbery.
If he wants to keep this lavish gift, he must come to Congress for our consent. See Art. I sec. 9.

U.S. Rep. Ramirez (D) does not hold back on DHS Secretary Noem:
“You have profiled and dehumanized our neighbors … You've broken the law, you've engaged in corruption and you've weaponized the immigration system to violate our civil rights … You have betrayed the sacred fundamentals of your oath.”

So if I am getting this right:
Thursday the librarian of Congress was fired.
Friday the copyright office rushed out a draft report suggesting genAI training on copyrighted works shouldn’t be legal.
Saturday the head of the copyright office is fired.

Trump has built a house of cards that will come crashing down. He's losing support of his base and a few GOP in Congress facing re-election in 2026 are starting to defy him.
I don't care how his downfall happens, I just hope it happens soon.

Well, I’m encouraged by the opinion of Lawrence Tribe, who predicts that the SCOTUS immunity decision will be overturned in due course, and go the way of Dred Scott and Plessy v Ferguson. This insanity cannot stand for long. We have overcome injustice before.
