Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

This was already decided in United States v. Wong Kim Ark in 1898.

Why does the Regime get to try it again?

Not saying I agree with it, but this is how they will try to reinterpret that case.

Note that this was published 2011 during Obama's term, presumably when arguing that he didn't have a long form birth certificate

Because the conservative justices have signaled that precedence doesn't matter if they don't want it to. Maybe other judges need to follow suit to make a point...

They can do whatever they want. They control the courts and every branch of government. So they're going to do whatever they want. The government is irreparably broken and anyone who thinks it isn't is either ignorant or delusional.

They killed Roe v Wade, they will do anything they want.

And the Dems moved on to Newsom making MAGA inspired merch. You need a revolution.

[–] ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 16 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

The sad thing about Newsom's trolling is that it's the only thing that works. That's what's truly pathetic.

Yeah, it works at getting liberals to spend their money on ineffective nonsense...

Instead of totally effectively not doing anything at all, including vote or show up.
