Yup. I think that’s the motive behind Trump’s language. Every time he refers to undocumented immigrants as an “invading army” it’s to give his blatantly unconstitutional actions the pallor of being in line with the limitations to birthright citizenship established in the Wong Kim Ark SCOTUS ruling.

I believe the Trump DOJ may attempt to stretch the definition of “hostile occupation” beyond what the SCOTUS intended in 1898.

No, the Wong Kim Ark SCOTUS decision of 1898 referred to US territory being occupied (ie The Mexican Army invades and occupies San Diego. A child born of a Mexican soldier and his wife in occupied San Diego would not be a natural born US citizen). casetext.com/case/united-...

“Occupation” is clearly a specious argument but Thomas and Alito have been bought and paid for. I have no confidence in handicapping how they would rule.

The Supreme Court precedent is if you are born under “occupied” territory, you can’t claim birthright citizenship. Watch Trump Justice Department argue US cities are under “occupation” by undocumented immigrants. How will the Trump appointed SCOTUS respond to this argument?

There’s a reason the Rams traded him. So much talent but so turnover prone. Thought he got over it this year. Maybe not.

Most fun NFL game I’ve ever attended live: Rams/Chiefs in 2018. 105 points. Goff was QB in that game too. Let this be the first NFL playoff game to top 100 combined points.

Worst possible time imaginable to shut it down. Rick Caruso was already blaming Mayor Bass for this on day 1 of the fires when the hydrants were dry in the Palisades. Is his argument valid?

Will be interesting to see how JJ uses him. Would definitely be an upgrade over Rui as a small ball center.

Bottom line: starting Knecht means AR has to guard the other team’s best perimeter player. It only works if Dalton is scoring 20+. Starting Max allows Austin to guard the secondary perimeter player and we don’t need 20+ from Max to win. It just makes more sense unless DK becomes automatic from deep.

LeBron and Steph are still the biggest draws in the league. No MJ passing the torch to Kobe yet. The NBA will have massive shoes to fill when they hang it up.

When you are playing 12 deep, it means you don’t have 9 reliable players.
