I tried to prevent this, I voted for Kamala.

I'll be blunt; if we're wrong and they overturn birthright citizenship then my biggest fear is that we're on the path to a new civil war. After all, that's what happened with Dred Scott 1.0, and this would be Dred Scott 2.0.
I don’t necessarily disagree with this prediction, but I do think it would be helpful for people if litigators and legal scholars wrote about what happens if they’re wrong and the court does rule in the administration’s favor
To give some sense of why I am so confident about this, I have talked to MANY other litigators on these issues, some of the top people in the country, and my views are almost universally held. The broad consensus among pretty much everyone I know is that the Court will rule against him on this.

I agree; this is an easy case for the Roberts court to go "see, we don't rule in his favor every time!" bsky.app/profile/imml...
I agree. This case is going to get a ton of media attention and when they rule against the administration, it's going to be great PR for the Court while they continue to run riot for Trump on nearly everything else.

I do not believe this is true. There is just too much history, and too much law, against it.
I do not rule it out entirely. But it’s very unlikely. If they were to rule in his favor, it would be a level of infamy as terrible as Dred Scott and would tear the country apart for generations.
