Clinton running again is just noise. She wasn’t popular with a lot of Dems the first time around. She has no chance of securing the nomination again. I’ve read the articles and all that but I’d bet huge against that happening.
Did you read it? It wasn’t the NYT’s take on it - they reported on this group and their mission, with quotes from the conservative/libertarian lawyers themselves.
Did read it. Breakaway faction of the federalist society doesn’t like mean words to the press, mean words to the DOJ and executive orders. Can’t say I disagree with them, where were they with Bush 1 and 2?
I, personally, am outraged that Trump has criticized birthright citizenship. It’s right there in the constitutional Amendment meant to extend citizenship to freed slaves. I am also 100% on board with all Federal firearms laws, because the constitutional Amendment dealing with firearms clearly gives the Federal Government the authority to regulate firearms. Or something.
There is some actual legitimate legal thought that “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” in the 14th amendment was written on purpose to exclude the children of diplomats and foreign citizens merely visiting the US. I believe there are quotes from the guy that wrote and advocated for the 14th that it wasn’t meant to cover foreign citizens visiting US soil.
Trump is definitely not the messenger for that nuanced take.
