It is explicit and it is also settled by interpretation that non citizens have rights....regardless of whether or not an abusive and overtly racist government wants to acknowledge them at any given time.
Coming from an interpretation of the Constitution= Inferred from judges reading between the lines in the Constitution. Remember, judges in different eras ruled that Segregation was technically constitutional in the 1890s, and also inherently opposed to the same Constitution in the 1950s.
Thats what makes it a fact, rather than an opinion.
Quote:And do you think that if the Republican Party can get enough judges in the Supreme Court and get the right case, they can't find a way to consider laws against the bete noire de jour constitutional again? Looking at Wikipedia's list of overruled Supreme Court cases, I don't see any that were overruled, but then had that overruling overruled, but I can see no reason it can't happen.Are you asking me if I think that the gop can subvert the laws and promise of our country......I;m starting to believe in them more and more on that count..yes.
That, admittedly, is an opinion, but if they keep doing their level best it could become a fact, lol.
