The problem with America is poor education..
The 14th amendment has NOTHING to do with naturalized citizenship or the process of naturalization.
The lack of education is a serious problem.. Trump is also poorly educated.
HUGE!! Trump to end birthright citizenship!!!

You are absolutely correct on all these things, Kudzu.
I think Donald Trump probably got the best "education" money can buy.
He just is not very bright...and the education was of no value in making him any brighter.
His sons seem not to be very bright at all. "Not being bright" seems to run in the family.
It is commonly said that "money cannot buy happiness."
I think we ought to pay more attention to the fact that "money cannot buy intelligence."
He's not bright at all and he has no curiosity.. He doesn't read.. has no desire for mastery.. This is a real low point in our history.. Especially since Trump wants Americans to pledge loyalty to him rather than the Constitution.
They do, however, have the power to rule if an action is constitutional. Their obligation to the Constitution and their ability to rule on all law per the constitution gives them this power.
This belief that 1/3 of the government has no balance of powers authority is simply wishes, not reality.

The Constitution and it's amendments says what it says.
No need for your bat-shit-crazy Right-Wing Judge Kavanaugh/Stephan Miller and NRA interpretations!

No, it doesn't. You don't seem to understand what 'grant' means either.
Didn't you write this bs?

The 14th amendment isn't even involved. It does not grant citizenship to foreign nationals or their children."
Foreign nationals are not "granted" citizenship.. If their babies are born on US soil they are natural born US citizens.. and they are not "granted" US citizenship either.

Trump supports the Constitution of the United States. False dichotomy.

Trump has not violated any part of the Constitution. The Supreme Court does not have the power to change or interpret the Constitution.

Nope. They are under the jurisdiction that their mother is. The 14th amendment does not grant citizenship to either foreign nationals nor their children.

That has already been demonstrated otherwise.
They have been doing it for 200+ years
Ruling something unconstitutional means they are deciding whether Congress or the president has the power to perform that act. That decision requires interpreting the Constitution.
For example, when the court ruled states cannot prohibit a woman from having an abortion the first six months, they were interpreting the Constitution because they decided it violated a woman's right to privacy between her and her doctor. The Constitution obviously does not state whether states can prohibit abortion so it required the court to interpret the meaning of the 9th, 14th, 1st, 3rd, and 5th amendments at is applied to state action.
The states cannot do it by themselves--it requires 2/3 vote of Congress and 3/4 of the staes . The people do not change it but put pressures on their federal and state representatives to propose and ratify amendments.
He is smart by the measure that he is all that he wants to be. His failing is moral. Mastery in school was never on his radar.
He was also brought up in a morality void background, quite obviously. Money was king, white male entitlement for the elites
was the given. The bright side is that he on some level knows this, not being truly dumb. He knows he could never be an intellect
or someone who would do great things for people. That is gratifying to me.
Agreed, and the federal courts interpret the meaning of the Constitution--the states do not determine its meaning.
Of course it does and its rulings are followed by federal and state governments.
They did not determine they usurped power---you did and you do not make law.
