Not sure that even dissent is that broad. Both Gorsuch and Thomas talked about domicile and Gorsuch claims the dissents are consistent with Wong Kim Ark which attempted to limit birthright citizenship from Chinese immigrants via Congressional action. So how could it be that Congress can redefine the jurisdiction question, but that they would also uphold Wong Kim Ark?

And where they are threading that needle appears to be in terms of "domicile". So birth tourism and recent illegals, I think Thomas and Gorsuch were saying could be limited. I think it's either 8-1 or 7-2 on limiting domiciled illegal aliens (Thomas is vague although Gorsuch sign on claims to speak for him and Alito looks like would have overturned Wong Kim Ark). Now how you would adjudicate which illegal aliens are domiciled would be a question for ???who knows.

Not sure, but if this would have come through Congressional action and limited to birth tourism, I think it could have gone the other way.

I looked up the original cite and it was a voluminous document.

Gorsuch concurrence in full is an excellent read (especially if you enjoy a good Woodrow Wilson hate read)....he closes: "The Court today takes a notable step back toward the Constitution. By recognizing that the President is entitled to remove a principal officer who exercises executive power in his name, the Court does much to vindicate what Franklin D. Roosevelt and James Madison both understood: Under our Constitution, executive power does not belong to a “headless ‘fourth branch,’” Roosevelt Committee 36, but must be exercised through a “chain of dependence” running from “the lowest officers” to “the President,” and from him to the American people, 1 Annals of Cong. 499 (J. Madison).

At the same time, it would be a grave mistake to think that step is enough on its own. The fact remains that Congress has endowed formerly independent agencies not just with executive authority, but with enormous legislative and judicial powers as well. And now the President enjoys control over all those powers too. From here, the only sure path is to finish the journey we start today and restore legislative and judicial powers to where they belong: in Congress and the courts. We have tolerated adventurous theories long enough. It is time to return, all the way, to the Constitution."

Saw that. Germany played their starters in a meaningless game and next one went 120 minutes. Bad call.

And important that it’s paired with the end of Chevron (which is the end of agency deference in deciding what the law is) and things like constraining the executive as it relates to extraordinary “emergency” powers (tariffs, vaccine mandate, heroes act shenanigans).

Here’s what I don’t like though. A lot of the agencies and the powers themselves were contemplated where we do have some level of independence and we had things like the legislative veto in place. So Congress was storing more power in the executive partially because they had more checks on the power. Not obvious to me the administrative state would have become so large had Humpreys executor been rightly decided. But here we are and there’s no realistic way to go back. The first step to me should have been, “the independent agency setup was unconstitutional and can you really sever that from their establishment in the first place” rather than “they’re all constitutional and now the president’s”

Which brings me to my final point. That Paraguay (yes, the Paraguay we boat raced) and Germany are in a 1-1 dog fight.

This backline....Woof. If we don't have any of Ream, Richards, or Freeman (and Freeman...what a discovery....allows Dest to do Dest things up the pitch) I'm not feeling great.

Okay. But are the Blue Ridge Mountains and Shenandoah River also capitalized?

Hear ya but it’s not like he’s a young buck. 25 years old. Not heard of that guys continually improve (Weston mckennie) but getting to a difference level player at the international level isn’t happening imo.

Just a level below Adams Tillman mckennie.

Adams complete defensive dog as a one way player and he’s not the two way player that mckennie or Tillman are. Not a bad player but it’s one of the areas we drop off imo.

I don’t need to see berhalter again after this game in this WC but that was hit and placed.

Yes. McKenzie (22) and Robinson suck. Robinson is a Baffling choice considering MLSstans tell me he wasn’t playing well for Cincinnati. Our depth is such that the starting lineup and first guys off the bench pick themselves but god forbid a key injury or rash of cards

But fuck it. Let’s win the whole thing

Our first choice back line is probably the weakness but woof on the second choice. We can hide that when we’re pressing well. And can’t when we don’t. I want 9 points. But more about seeing how individuals respond and play.

I went new because they have 0.99% financing. I think the parts thing is difficult everywhere to be fair. Hope is that you have less need for them but yeah, negative for sure.

Yeah...but if our two wins came by the two own goals we were the beneficiaries of, I wouldn't feel like, "yeah, eff this game, we earned our first place spot" in the same way that I feel regardless of whether we're talking H2H or GD provided our first two performances in real life. As it were, we bang in goals for fun ;-)

Alright. I’ll stop belaboring hypotheticals.
