Right, by making their appeal about judicial overreach they tailored their grounds to the conservative ears of the majority.

The plus side to this travesty of a decision  is that there doesn’t seem to be any bar to a district judge enforcing birthright citizenship within the confines of their own district.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

The flip side of that is the Balkanization of America.

Maybe that's overdue.

Start with California. Most people in the US seem to hate the place. That's halfway there.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Google images has some interesting hypothetical maps of what a Balkanized US would look like.

I'd be more interested in seeing what the rest of the maps looked like when a us with multiple personality disorders, each individually capable of glassing the planet, starts making warring existential demands on the rest of the globe. The solution to our problems, and to the worlds problems that involve us, by extension, isn't to give the nazis half the country. That makes shit worse for everyone, not better.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I still see this thread roll around and read the title as "The Scrotum Chronicles".
