[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am glad I live in Virginia and not a state choosing up spend its money to fight this.  If you are against the EO you get the brilliant legal minds of Letitia James, Keith Ellison, and Rob Bonta fighting for you.  [/quote]

If you are for this EO, you're against the Constitution and traditional lawmaking processes. So why are you living in Virginia?[/quote]

Explain to me how the EO is unconstitutional?  Provide case citations as the plain language of the amendment caveats that those born here must be subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.  I’m the PP poster that explained this is a matter of interpretation, just like the authority of Congress to pass the 1964 Civil Rights Act was a matter of interpretation.  [/quote]

First step: what would it mean to be not subject to the jurisdiction of the US?  [/quote]

My understanding is that this referred to Native Americans who were on US but also tribal lands.  The tribal authorities have the jurisdiction there.

It’s why it took an additional act in 1924 to give them auto citizenship.[/quote]
