What's This About?
The post criticizes Donald Trump’s Solicitor General, John Sauer, for allegedly pausing to 'think' during Supreme Court arguments on ending birthright citizenship via executive order, specifically questioning if Native Americans are U.S. citizens. It portrays this as 'wild' ignorance amid a heated debate on the 14th Amendment's interpretation, where Trump seeks to deny citizenship to children of undocumented immigrants and certain visa holders. The content ties into broader conservative efforts to reinterpret 'subject to the jurisdiction thereof,' drawing sharp partisan divides. Contextually, arguments occurred recently, with justices expressing skepticism toward the administration's position[1][2].

Dear Supreme Court Justices: Your job is to follow the law. Even when it’s politically difficult. The law is clear: We The People, as the sovereign citizens, never gave birthright citizenship to illegals. Not in the 14th amendment. Not any statute after. If we change our minds, we will have our elected representatives in Congress change the law for us. Like we did for American Indians. You wear robes, not capes.

Jackson: My understanding was the framers put this citizenship clause into the Constitution to prevent future Congresses from affecting citizenship in this way. Sauer: I... uh, uhhh... no I don't think so.
