The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

No, I'm telling you that the Supreme Court has never decided the issue of whether a child born in the U.S. to two non-citizen parents who are not lawfully present in this country, is automatically a citizen of the U.S. with no ifs, ands, or buts.

Evidently they will decide that later on in 2026 in the spring or summer.


What a wonderful confluence of this case with the bisesquicentennial!

I predict the Supreme Court will rule, on a prospective basis (i.e. it won't apply to people already born here and deemed U.S. citizens even if that turned out to have been in error), that children born in the U.S. to two illegal aliens aren't automatically citizens and that Congress has the authority to specify otherwise, if it wants to.

What further consequences may happen to the little baby illegal niblets will be reserved for future case law as it develops in the lower courts.

Then, LEFTIST TEARS. Many, many tears.
