The Fourteenth Amendment

Where is @usconstamendi.bsky.social when we need it? Now that the Scotus has ruled me a dead letter on everything but incorporation, at least gimme something to incorporate. I'm bored!

It's too bad @heritage.bsky.social got the "Heritage" name first. I was very much looking forward to hearing from that other group of the same name why Jose Ibarra, an illegal alien, should be tried for murder by a court in the United States that supposedly has no jurisdiction over him.

'Litigation is a certainty': Trump's call to end birthright citizenship would face a mountain of opposition An executive order would kick-start a legal fight that could lead to a Supreme Court ruling.

This will not, of course, include foreigners/aliens born in US who belong to families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to US government, "but will include every other class of persons."

I prevent certain people from *holding* state or federal office, but don't preclude anyone from *running* for it. If Donald Duck can run for President in Michigan, so can Donald Trump.

Trump remains defiant in New York fraud trial that accuses him of lying about wealth Aggrieved and defiant, former President Donald Trump sat through hours of sometimes testy opening statements Monday in a fraud lawsuit that could cost him control of Trump Tower and other prized pro...

I incorporate your Sixth Amendment right to a criminal trial, but not your Seventh Amendment right to a civil one.

‘Stop Cop City’ Activists Hit With RICO Charges By Same Grand Jury That Indicted Trump The defendants include a legal observer arrested at a protest, activists who distributed fliers, and others who ran a bail fund.

Georgia charged 61 people with RICO related to the Stop Cop City movement. Among them are a legal observer arrested while monitoring a protest, bail fund organizers, people accused of distributing fliers, and people accused of trespass or property damage: www.thedailybeast.com/stop-cop-cit...

Is the Supreme Court seriously going to disqualify Trump? I'm giving it a 10% chance.

Do I disqualify Trump, or anyone else, from office or did Congress amputate Section 3?

That would surely be the worst solution politically, but it would be a guilty pleasure getting taken so hyper-literally. After all, I only said the guy can't *be* President, not that no one can *vote* for unconstitutional Presidents, nyah nyah nyah nyah.

The Congress shall have power to enforce me, by appropriate legislation.

The validity of US debt shall not be questioned. But neither the US nor any state shall assume or pay any debt incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the US, or any claim for loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.

No one shall hold any federal or state office who, having previously taken an oath of office to support the US Constitution, has engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the US, or given aid or comfort to its enemies, unless two-thirds of each house of Congress vote to remove such disability.

Rep apportioned among states by whole number of persons in each state. But when right to vote is denied to any 21+ year old citizen men, or abridged, except for rebellion, or other crime, the state's basis of representation shall be reduced proportionally.

Everyone born or naturalized in US & subject to its jurisdiction is a citizen of US and the state he lives in. No state shall make any law abridging US citizens' privileges or immunities, deprive anyone of life, liberty, or property without due process; or deny anyone equal protection of laws.

This would violate me (as well as my brother, the separation of powers).
