The GOP does not care about the Law or the Constitution. in fact, they want to destroy it. Look at how they continually thumb their noses at the Courts. They want a King that makes all decisions.
For months, the DOJ has insisted to US courts that it has no jurisdiction over the people it rendered to Salvadoran detention facilities. But when the UN came asking, El Salvador told a very differ…

They have no legitimacy on the bench. Their actions are reminiscent of a dark time when immoral Supreme Court justices ruled in favor slavery and eugenics. Our society is not progressing. We are taking a step backwards.

note: There is a an or in there and you do not have to be born in the United States to be a citizen.

in reply to Robert Reich • • •Be helpful—particularly if 3rd terms actually are denied—if WH actions started to be tied not just to trump, but also to the #GOP POLITICAL PARTY.
It’s how this guy was enabled, and presumably how the next fascist will get on our ballots.

Q: How many of the #FoundingFathers were born "American Citizens"?
A: ZERO. "America" was not a country when they were born.
Martin van Buren has the distinction of being the first "American born" president.

Not "citizen."
Born here makes you a citizen, but equal protection of the law is extended to "any person."
