RE: Trump Claims He Can Use Executive Order to End Birthright Citizenship
You mean like when the "strict constructionist" conservatards rewrote the second amendment to ignore the whole "militia" thing?  That kind of conservatardism?

In this modern age I think being well-regulated means you shit regularly.

Trump is just creating phony issues to clog the media with irrelevant bullshit leading up to the midterms, and he's succeeding in pushing relevant issues out of the public eye.

-leading up to the midterms, and the weeks directly thereafter.  

It's looking more and more likely that the president has been subpoenaed by special council, and that the arguments are scheduled to follow the midterms. If there was ever a time to throw the reddest meat at the most rabid portion of your base. It's now.
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!

He also lied and claimed that "no other country in the world" allows birthright citizenship.

But if this makes it to the Supreme Court, they could just rubber stamp it.

Let's not forget that it's a Constitutional Amendment that limits presidents to 2 terms (after FDR was elected to 4 terms). I'm guessing he'll try to Executive-Order that amendment out of existence in around 2023 or 2024.

I'm pretty sure he did this to pander to his base. He knows he can't do this. Any order to do this would get stopped in the first court it landed in. They (the base) are stupid enough to maybe buy it .... it's a stunt aimed at deflecting attention from other things going on Trump is pissed about .... attention for Jewish victims ... (he HAD to get that over with on Tuesday so he could go back to raising hell in his little rallies.)

There's no "maybe" about it.  They are stupid enough.

And, Brian,  I wonder how Grizzly Adams made out with that beard when he got to the Arizona border and found that it was 120 degrees in the shade.... and there wasn't any shade!

I'm pretty sure your analysis is spot on. IF this were to actually come to pass, and SCOTUS upheld it, it would be an unmistakable signal that the rule of law is over, and that we live in a failed republic. Though IMO, we're already there and have been for some time.
