The majority held that birthright citizenship is protected by the 14th amendment, not that it's protected by federal law.

He'd have to have someone translate it into fourth grade level Engllish, and then he wouldn't read it anyway because he'd get bored after a couple of sentences.

I am. So. Fucking. Exhausted with this shit...

as soon as they thought they could do it, and get away with doing it!
