   @rooster That the 14th Amendment didn't guarantee birthright citizenship was some crackpot white supremacists' nonsense legal theory until last year when Trump proposed it. Then suddenly out of the woodwork, Conservative lawyers suddenly and mystically "discovered" this hidden secret interpretation that says it didn't mean what it says, and pumped it out on the right wing sloposphere.

   It's worth remembering - they literally live in a completely different information sphere than we do, full of bizzaro news and commentary. Those justices and politicians, brains are cooked by their constant consumption of crackpot conspiracy theories and nonsense cherry picked lies.

     I'm still crashing out about this. The only thing I can think of is that they are arguing that the writers of the 14th amendment didn't even think about foreigners, right?

     Christine Lemmer-Webber repeated this.
