HUGE!! Trump to end birthright citizenship!!!

[PostmodernProphet]

Not if I had to lie to do it.

oh......obviously you would......

 

[Text Drivers are Killers]

No, he isn't.

The Supreme Court does not have the authority to interpret the Constitution of the United States or of any State. You are again denying Article III.

So who does have authority to interpret the constitution? By the tenth amendment that power is reserved to the states or the people.

No.
The ultimate legal power to interpret both statute and Constitution is SCOTUS.

 

[Text Drivers are Killers]

It did not change the Constitution. It settled a case based on constitutional principles.

Settling a single case is ok. The problem is the SC declares their decisions to be the "law of the land" and the constitution says only congress can write laws.

All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a congress of the united states

Trump is trying to change the meaning of the Constitution through an executive order. The Supreme Court has the power to interpret the Constitution and has done so hundreds of times--so they obviously have the power to do so even if you disagree

1. Where does the constitution say the SC has authority to interpret the constitution? The tenth amendment gives that power to the states or the people.

2. Where do you draw the line between interpreting the constitution and rewriting it?

Wonder what idiot Trump has to say about foreign nationals in the US on visas.. .. like students.. What if they have babies?

If some girl here legally on a student visa has a kid, then the kid should inherit the nationality of the mother.

It has now been upped to 15,000!!!

And every one of them has the "dream" of going on welfare or being a drug dealer.

Those born in the U. S. were considered citizens long before President Kennedy.

Only if they were born to citizens or legal residents of the U.S.

Kent State

They were occupying and trespassing on government property and were attacking those soldiers. Do you really think those ranchers along the border are going to attack the military??? They are SUPPORTING the military!

America is a short hand term to refer to the United States of America.

No, America is a continent, divided into North and South America. I can't believe I actually have to tell you what 'America' means.

It is like the "Federative Repubic of Brazil," the "United Mexican States," or the "Russian Federation."

There are no such continents.

The United States government does not issue passports to illegal immigrants, but it does issue passports to children of illegal immigrants born here because they are U. S. citizens.

They won't be doing that anymore, once the executive order is signed.

The states issue birth certificates to children of illegal immigrants born in the U. S. and classifies them as U. S. citizens.

They won't be doing that anymore, once the executive order is signed.

You said the federal government issued birth certificates. They don't.

oh......obviously you would......

Then I would have sunk to new lows.

Not "many", in 1924 Congress passed a law that made those people citizens. So, Indigenous folks get to vote now too.

It did so for many nations and tribes, but not all. The rest were done by treaty.

Clearly american snowflakes will have to slaughter all other human life on the planet to feel they have a safe space.

...???

You keep saying that, they do however rule on the constitutionality of laws and executive orders that pertain to those laws. Nobody said they get to "change" the Constitution.

Do a degree, correct. Trump, however, is not changing the Constitution.

The United States of America is the official name of a country located on the North American continent. It is often referred to as just "America" by people all over the world.

WRONG. The Supreme Court has no authority over the Constitution. They can neither interpret it nor change it.

America is a continent. The United States (or the U.S.) is a nation.

And who decides if Congress has exceeded those legislative powers? The Supreme Court meaning they are interpreting the Constitution and that sometimes involves changing the meaning (Brown changed the meaning from Plessy).

 

[Damocles]

Do a degree, correct. Trump, however, is not changing the Constitution.

If, and that is a pretty big if, Trump actually does this, courts will rule on the constitutionality of the action.

 

[Flash]

WRONG. The Supreme Court has no authority over the Constitution. They can neither interpret it nor change it.

But they have interpreted and sometimes changed the meaning of the Constitution since the beginning of the Republic in hundreds of cases. So what you claim they cannot do they have been doing over 200 years. Your theory would put no checks on the powers of the president or Congress.
