[quote=Anonymous][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]

"Subject to the jurisdiction" means that somebody, unless specifically excluded, who is physically present on US soil is under the authority of the US government and its legal system. Being subject to the jurisdiction is how illegal immigrants are rounded up and deported in the first place.

You're the pretend lawyer who has been posting here so do your own research on 150 years of precedent. Go ahead and log into your Westlaw instance and tell us what you find.[/quote]

You’re responding to a different poster than me, the “pretend” lawyer. I already posted, pages back, what it means to be subject to the jurisdiction of the United States in the context of the 14th amendment, based on discussion of the amendment as it was being adopted and SCOTUS case law. And guess what?  You’re still wrong. I always heard growing up that government workers were stupid, and you’re proving it to me in real time. [/quote]

I am not wrong, nor am I a government worker. You're getting worked up about something that has no chance of success.[/quote]
