Supreme Court ruling to uphold birthright citizenship And you know what makes me so mad about the Supreme Court striking down Trump's decision to end birthright citizenship Is that this should never have happened in the first place. First of all, the fact that the Supreme Court said 6 to 3 that why would we change the amendment? Why would we change the 14th amendment? For all people born on this soil. All children born on this soil are U.S. Citizen. Why would we change that? It should have been 9-0. First of all, it should have been 9-00. What are you talking about? that 14th amendment was only made for slaves, was only made for free people. The 14th amendment was passed in 1866. The Supreme Court's job is to uphold the Constitution. For the love of God. This should not have been a conversation in the first place. And it kinda reminds me of those debate videos where it's like, a Nazi versus a Jewish person. This should not have been a conversation in the first place. It's. It's like people say, ah, well, should these people have human rights? This should not be a conversation. You're giving more light to a conversation that should not happen in the first place. And that's what makes me so mad. That's what makes me really, really mad. because what he is doing is being unconstitutional. The 14th Amendment, passed in 1866 was made to make sure. To make sure every single human being born on the U.S. soil is U.S. Citizen. And you're telling me the year of 2026, days before our 250th birthday of the United States become an independent nation. that you want to disagree with the Constitution? That conversation should not have held any weight. But it did. But it did. And that's what making me mad. What? This should not have been a conversation in the first place. Everybody's in the same agreement. Everybody's in the agreement that, hey, everybody born here, U.S. Citizen, regardless of you're an immigrant of any status, you are U.S. Citizen. Your child is a U.S. Citizen. You're good to go. But you wanna mind you. Midterms in November, guys. Please register to vote. Please register to vote. Midterms are in November. Local elections are coming up, you guys. It's governors, senators, representatives, people across the political board are up for election this year. Because there are people, active politicians, who go against the U.S. Constitution, even though that's their job, to uphold the U.S. Constitution. Right, right, right.
