He could always go sulk for a couple more years, then resign.

The decision has been made so shut up about it and respect the courts decision, crybaby bitch Alito.
Alito? That dont sound like a 'merican name. Deport his foreigner ass.
They are seriously terrified of “white replacement theory.”
The heritage foundation has poisoned all three branches of our government. It’s disgusting.
The US Supreme Court was tasked with determining if the US Constitution was constitutional. And three of the justices failed at this very basic task.
No fences, no borders, free movement for all.
It’s funny too because this mentality is both moral and good for business. Capitalism thrives when people are free to come and go and buy as they please but the US isn’t actually a capitalist society, there is no free market. Borders are antithetical to free markets.
Borders are antithetical to free markets.
There is no such thing as a free market.
Sure but as an economic concept, it’s still an abstract idea that can be understood
It's been in effect for over 200 years, but now it's a problem. Fuck this guy.
I think I know what the real problem is.
"Birth tourism" - Moot point. They're solving that by making the country so shitty in every way that no one wants to be US citizens.
The only people coming to the US now are the truly desperate refugees that couldn't afford to go anywhere better.
Literal traitor says what?
The Constitution is ~~LAW!~~ a MISTAKE!
-Republicans (UNLESS it's After a Bunch of Kindergarteners get MOWED DOWN by a Gunman!)
One of the court reporting people on NPR said something like "This is a perfect case where all they had to do was point at the Constitution and not take up the case".
Given that birthright citizenship has been the rule since the Civil War, is he saying that all of subsequent American history is an example of these “grotesque results”?
He doesn't expect you to think!
My family’s been here since 1733 and never took a test. If birthright citizenship isn’t real then am I a citizen?
And if we’ve never been citizens, who do we sue to get back all the taxes we paid?
You think aliens (gov term) don't pay taxes? Be it non-resident aliens, resident aliens for tax purposes, or resident aliens, we do.
No taxation without representation my ass. The US loves to tax without representation
Hell some of my ancestors have been here since before even James Town in one case but we hugged the borders of civilization through much of it so where do me and my kin fit in since records are scattered. For those curious my ancestors came over from western Ireland with a Jesuit expedition about 20 years before James Town.
This is who the pedo squad republicans nominate for scotus - people who don't understand or respect the constitution.
It’s a feature; not a glitch

Can't wait to read this fascist scumbag's obituary.
Alito's being on the bench is a serious mistake.
Alito's birth was a serious mistake.
“Careful analysis of the text of the Fourteenth Amendment and the process that led to its adoption shows that it does not degrade the concept of United States citizenship in this way,” Alito wrote. “Instead, the Fourteenth Amendment confers citizenship on only those children who, at birth, owe allegiance solely to this country.”
Hmm, let's look a the actual text of the 14th amendment:
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.
The word "solely" doesn't appear there once. There is absolutely nothing there that states that being a citizen of another country disqualifies you, or your kids. (If it did, it would be impossible to be naturalized as a US citizen without first renouncing your original citizenship). It's obvious that this clause was meant to apply to diplomats and other people who get some forms of immunity from local prosecution.
What an asshat....
It's ironic because Alitos family didn't arrive from Italy until 1914 as well.

What kind of clown argues the constitution is unconstitutional
4-6 members of the current supreme court. Consistently…
Republicans. Constantly.

The text of the amendment could not be more clear. Alito is really a traitorous prick. Frankly, I’m sympathetic to the idea that the Supreme Court should be disbanded altogether. We have a representative legislature, we don’t need these fuckers.
Naw we really do need the court but there needs to be some big changes to it like expanding the size and putting in 18 - 25 year term limits.
And regulating its operations, which Congress has the power to do, but never has. It can also restrict the subjects that the Supremes can rule on. That power has never been exercised either. The court under Marshall (the old one, not Thurgood of blessed memory) did a massive power grab and noobdy seems to have minded all that much.
I'm firmly of the opinion that all 4 justices who argued against the 14th amendment need to be impeached and removed from office for violation of their oath to the constitution.
I will agree with that.
He's such a joke. If the results will be disastrous in the future, we would have seen that over the last century. And he knows this, which just shows that he doesn't give a fuck about reality or facts.
On the other hand, many people now know that Alito was a mistake.
This asshole is such a broken individual. He should be impeached. The fact that he has so much influence over millions says a lot about our system.
Alito is a disgrace. I hope he's removed from power soon
A long-term chronic illness that meant he had to take extended absences, but would refuse to resign and would linger on until there's a non-MAGAt in the White House, that'd be just about ideal.

He’s a serious mistake.
Given this ruling, if there are future considerations by Court I’m sure he’ll now recuse himself /s
