Agreed. The only majorities needed to change it is the opinion of the Supreme Court. No one else including Congress.
I'm OK with that too - the court clarifying the amendment. EOs relate to implementation of acts of Congress. An EO such as Trump suggests clearly is out of the scope of law enforcement and the powers of the executive. Lower courts will reject it and I don't think the SC would even take it up. Of course, we will see if Trump even does this or he is just spouting off for the midterms.
But what about the thousands of Chinese mothers who fly into Los Angeles for the sole reason to deliver a baby with both American and Chinese Communist citizenship?
To the contrary, this is the only way this issue is going to be addressed. Congress has shown itself to be paralyzed regarding practically anything that has to do with immigration. The two sides are polar opposites on immigration and there is no middle ground that is going to be reached.
So the strict Constitutionalists who deride judicial activism now support the usurpation of the legislature because of the nature of the issue? I get the impression that the welcoming or rejection of judicial activism is very issue specific. How principled.
Let's hear it conservatives, "you can't rule by EOs"! Wasn't that the chant from 2008-2016?
Yes, it was.
And it proved to be true. Executive Orders issued by Obama were easily reversed. Now it will be up to Democrats to reverse the new Executive Order that enforces American sovereignty.
Good luck with ever getting elected to anything if a Democrat repeals that!
Basically, Trump is an anchor baby, as are three of his kids, and his wife's family is taking advantage of chain migration. The only difference is that they are filthy rich and can get the government to waive conditions.
No, Trumps parents had naturalized before he was born.
PLEASE stop with the historical inaccuracies, people.
What cons do not think about is if Trump thinks (or could) EO over ride the constitution, then he could EO over the 2nd amendment or anything else. It would in fact make him a dictator to do anything he wants.
