Kavanaugh did not rule that it was a violation of the Constitution. Instead he ruled it violated a US Code provision. So it was only striking down the executive order was 6-3. The ruling that it was a violation of the Constitution was just 5-4. Ridiculous.

In fairness, Donnie is just as familiar with the contents of the Constitution as he is the contents of the Bible.

that is to say, not at all.

I also like to say, that people that can afford a cruise, doesnt necessary want to be American citizens.

I love this guy so much. I used his Netflix special to teach rhetorical analysis at university and inevitably it was the students’ favorite assignment.

The criminal that just paid $5 million to a lady for r4p1ng her is trying to tell the United States who is a legal citizen. 🧐🤷
@
To be fair to Stephen Miller: his species giving birth is a lot quicker than us humans.
@
Also incredible that he believes the tax payers will be paying for the births... Buddy, people aren't having babies because medical expenses aren't covered by the government
@
The right likes to scare their voters to distract from the fact they have no policies to help them.
@
Even from a procedural aspect, it should have been 9-0 because the three who voted to end birthright citizenship were saying that an EXECUTIVE ORDER can overturn the Constitution. Their dissent was, in and of itself, UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
@
Crazy to think that a person who is American because they were born in America could declare another person born in America not American

If you think you love freedom but you don't care if it applies to everyone, then what you actually love is privilege.
