Jackson criticized her fellow justice’s “ahistorical” interpretation of the 14th Amendment.
Echoing the Trump administration’s sentiments, Thomas argued in his dissent that the 14th Amendment “was designed and understood to secure equal rights for the freed blacks but has instead been repurposed for political projects that the Reconstruction Congress did not support.”
Thomas also argued that the Civil Rights Act, which became the foundation for the 14th Amendment, had ensured citizenship to people born in the U.S. and “not subject to any foreign power.”
“The Citizenship Clause [of the 14th Amendment], which the same Congress passed shortly after the Civil Rights Act, was understood to have the same meaning,” Thomas wrote. “It guaranteed citizenship to persons who were both ‘born . . . in the United States’ and ‘subject to the jurisdiction thereof.’”
Jackson called this “ahistorical,” denying that the “text at issue conferred citizenship only on freed Blacks and those in analogous situations.”
Jackson also blamed the Trump administration and Thomas for repurposing the amendment, adding that the Civil Rights Act initially only included Black people but was later expanded to include people of all ethnic backgrounds.
Justice Thomas is evil he had his newphew falsely imprisoned at hidden lake academy one of troubled teen programs and this one of old school programs based on synanon methods. bbc link
Clarence ‘I Got Mine’ Thomas
Clarence “an rv is price enough to destroy America” Thomas
If that was the case, he would have taken Oliver’s offer. He must just really like destroying America. So much so that he passed up an RV and a million a year just to fuck off.
The only appropriate use of the n-word. Dude needs a good old fashioned lynching to be reminded of where he’s bringing us back to.
Only half joking. But he somewhat deserves it. He’s cheering on the return of Jim Crow.
As yes, because racial violence is okay when it’s “ironic” or something… I’m all for curb stomping racists of all flavors, but cmon dude no need to go all Klansman.
Uncle Tom mfer is the blackest white supremacist in the US.
Justice Ruckus.
Bro. I’m fucking DYING at this. Gonna rewatch the MLK episode of Boondocks and shit my pants laughing at uncle SCOTUS.
Uncle Tom bitchass. I hope he crashes his god awful motorhome
“How can it be that black people are free?”
As spoken by the one judge who could care less…
It’s time to reduce Thomas’ vote on the SCOTUS to 3/5ths.
After attending the Supreme Court hearing earlier this year, Trump falsely claimed in a Truth Social post that the U.S. is “the only Country in the World STUPID enough to allow ‘Birthright’ Citizenship!”
This is such a stupid and easily disproved take. I’ve had relatives claim to me that the US is the only country with birthright citizenship. It’s very common in the Americas.
And even if it wasn’t, and the US was the only country with birthright citizenship, isn’t that our choice as a nation? Do we have to do what other countries do? If we’re going to do that, can we start with universal healthcare and then revisit birthright citizenship after, say, better protections for unions, guaranteed parental leave, guaranteed vacation time, unlimited sick time, higher taxes on the wealthy, abolition of at-will employment, and about 100 other policies the US is the only wealthy nation either not to have or to have a legal framework against?
There are 35 countries that provide citizenship unconditionally to anyone born within their national borders.
Birthright doesn’t make sense anymore. It did when traveling was a long process but now that you can fly around the world drop a baby and be back home the next day. It doesn’t make sense. My country has a issue with baby vacations.
Please enlighten us with what issues your country has with baby vacations.
What is the issue exactly?
What’s the issue exactly? Countries are freaking out over their decreasing birth rates. Allowing more children to be born here with citizenship seems like a great solution to that.
How can a man in his position be so wrong about every goddamn issue?
Epstein class and nazi bribery. Can’t you see the cuckoldry in his eyes, they grabbed em by the greed. What’s he gonna do now, give up his ill gotten gains and admit he’s a sockpuppet proxy for evil assholes.
Never known a sellout to change their ways. It’s just one of those lines you cross and never see again
