Townhall's Kurt Schlichter Says Not to Freak Out When We Lose the Birthright Citizenship Case

Brett T,:

I'd love to believe that Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's insipid arguments in favor of birthright citizenship would be enough to lead to another 8-1 decision in President Donald Trump's favor. Yes, the 14th Amendment was meant to grant citizenship to the children of former slaves, not birth tourists who fly to the United States from China or wherever to deliver their baby on U.S. soil and then fly back home. As I reported the other day, Newsweek seemed to have a problem with Trump saying birthright citizenship wasn't meant for "rich people from China." Then there's surrogacy, where a Chinese millionaire ships his frozen sperm to a surrogate mother in the United States and then has the kids shipped back to China. One man was reported to have more than 100 children that way.

Kurt Schlichter of Twitchy sister site Townhall predicts that Trump is going to lose the case, but don't freak out.

… has been same. That’s baloney to just shut us up. Neither side is frivolous.

It’s a tough call legally and objectively speaking. But when we lose it, and I think we will, don’t freak out that this is some sort of conspiracy. It’s a hard legal decision. Sadly, we have three judges who aren’t even going to try to examine the question and will always vote for what leftists want. But the rest of the court has to make a tough legal call.

I think our reading is the correct one. For various reasons, I think they’re going to rule against us. Don’t freak out when they do. It’s not an utterly irrational ruling like so many of the district court opinions we’ve seen.

The answer is a constitutional amendment, and that’s not happening, so say hello to your new, improved country, and be sure to add Mandarin to your language lessons.
