what follows immediately after the birthright clause? the privileges and immunities and due process clauses? and what follows them? the equal protection clause. all of this is explicitly to say, "the declaration is the constitutional law of the land"

the birthright clause was not just written to wipe dred scott off of the books, it was written to repudiate the *idea* behind dred scott, you might say the larger *ideological project* of dred scott. and the whole of section 1 of the 14th amendment is a constitutional statement of political equality

dred scott, in their minds, established the united states as a place of tiered citizenship and permanent inequality among americans. it was a ruling that said, in effect, that all men *were not* created equal and would *never* be treated as such.

i think to understand the meaning of the birthright citizenship clause to the framers of the 14th amendment, you have to understand significance of dred scott to the civil war republican party. dred scott wasn't just a bad ruling, it was understood as a rejection of the declaration itself.

1/ The US National Park Service has for the first time made access to its parks free on June 14, explicitly tying it to Donald Trump's birthday. The inauguration of a public celebration of the leader's birthday marks a very significant step on the road to authoritarianism in the US. ⬇️

"the government should try, convict and then kill the secretary of defense for the crime he very obviously seems to have committed" seems like a radical thing to say, but -- no, it's not. it's the actual penalty for what pete hegseth, a man who ordered death squads to murder civilians, has done.

the thing is that blowing up drug boats is just murder. no law licenses it. it is just war crimes. but to say out loud what the penalty for committing them is puts us in the position of accusing high government officials of capital crimes.
it is critically important to be able to say the obvious.

If birth in the United States does not confer citizenship, and if all citizen immigrants can be denaturalized by executive order, then literally no one in America has a guarantee of citizenship.
Every American’s citizenship becomes merely the revocable gift of the god-king.

Counterpoint:
The Supreme Court lacks the authority to change the text of the Constitution.
So either it affirms the text or (further, and more completely) nukes its authority as Constitutional arbiter.
There’s no third option. Art III (courts) can’t just usurp Art V (amendments).

I actually think we should stop telling the people responsible for this country's problems that they're the innocent ones rather than the architects of what's happening to them
White voters in small towns earned this. They brought it on us all, and they should be blamed.
