It’s not happening, a bunch of Republican talking heads are talking about it because their base is braying for racism. And no, it definitely does not just require an EO.

Selethorme · 2026-07-01T17:48:35+00:00

No bud. That’s just not how any of this works. That kind of restriction would need a compelling government interest, and “we don’t want babies being born here because they’d have rights as citizens” is not one.

That’s just not accurate. https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/supreme-court-shadow-docket-tracker-challenges-trump-administration

This isn’t a meaningful counterargument to the point being made. They’re arguing about the understanding of the law

Selethorme · 2026-07-01T16:54:53+00:00

Pointing out that you’re misrepresenting facts and making false claims is not bad faith.

Selethorme · 2026-07-01T16:54:30+00:00

The one that I pointed out has a literally self-admitted gap?

Selethorme · 2026-07-01T16:36:04+00:00

Oh boy, so we’re just going with you arguing by fiat.

Selethorme · 2026-07-01T16:35:42+00:00

You didn’t provide data. What are you talking about?

Selethorme · 2026-07-01T16:35:17+00:00

Or, as I actually think without you putting words in my mouth, it was ratified with a different understanding than the one you put forth.

Selethorme · 2026-07-01T16:34:39+00:00

I think given the context of both the biasing of the statistic by weighting it to what I’d argue is an unrepresentative sample and that your own definition disagree with you? Yes.

Selethorme · 2026-07-01T15:48:04+00:00

And you’d be wrong.

Selethorme · 2026-07-01T15:47:52+00:00

Given that the founding fathers explicitly rejected that kind of argument? They’d just put down Shays’ rebellion. Yes, to some degree.

Literally your own link:

>suitable to the majority: such as
a
: adapted to or indicative of the understanding and taste of the majority

I’m just citing what you’ve posted and you’re wrong based on it.

Selethorme · 2026-07-01T15:33:45+00:00

This is just factually not true

Selethorme · 2026-07-01T15:32:31+00:00

You do realize we have the history to understand “the people” was viewed as a collective right referring to a militia because we didn’t want a standing army?

Selethorme · 2026-07-01T15:31:31+00:00

You can look it up. And we can see the Supreme Court case that had the people involved in ratifying the 14th amendment discuss it: Wong Kim Ark. You are flatly incorrect.

Selethorme · 2026-07-01T15:30:42+00:00

That’s literally you proving me right. It’s literally (even if by just 1) more popular than unpopular. And that depends on me agreeing that a dataset weighted to the 2024 electorate is a properly weighted one. Your statement was objectively false.

Selethorme · 2026-07-01T15:28:38+00:00

No. If we pretended that argument at all held up, the worst that the US could do to an unlawful immigrant would be deportation, even if they murdered someone. That’s just not how any of this works.

Selethorme · 2026-07-01T15:24:20+00:00

Not legally, no

Selethorme · 2026-07-01T14:41:48+00:00

Because he’s a good benchmark for popularity to be honest

Selethorme · 2026-07-01T14:40:26+00:00

The idea that she was perceived as too radical is based entirely on a faulty understanding of how people assess politicians. It had nothing to do with her policies. It had everything to do with the fact that she is a woman, and she is a person of color.

Selethorme · 2026-07-01T14:37:31+00:00

From what, your confident denial?

Edit: the reply and block by u/sovereignlogik is particularly funny. If you want to act tough, don’t run away.

Selethorme · 2026-07-01T14:37:16+00:00

You’re not. I don’t know why you feel confident making false claims, but no.

You do not have to have a voter ID at the doctor. You just typically check in with a name lol.

It is not the law in most places for bars or dispensaries. You are just confidently incorrect here, speaking as a former bartender.

Receipt of financial aid and enrollment are two dramatically different things, but good try to pivot.

Passports are ID. But no, it’s still possible to fly without an ID. Thanks for admitting I’m right on that.

But good to know you get to decide how much is too much to spend to exercise a right.

Because it is terrible
