34. Nah your initial thought was right

Tuesday

When Trump threatened to deport U.S. born citizens he didn't like or disagreed with him he wasn't joking. This executive order was just a trial balloon for that. If the Supreme would've been so willing to ignore the plain text of the constitution in this case you can bet they would've done the same for future birthright citizenship cases too. Giving the President the power to disappear anyone he doesn't like through deportation born here or not.
