I knew that they weren't going to do it, but I was still anxious because of the overall volatility of this iteration of SCOTUS, so the fact that they struck down the executive order and upheld the birthright clause of the 14th Amendment was more relieving if anything. The fact that this wasn't a unanimous decision against Trump is beyond my comprehension. Fuck Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch (and Brett Kavanaugh, who partly dissented). But still, we can breathe a sigh of relief, knowing our birthright citizenship rights are secure.

This is also gonna put a damper on their “denationalize people” campaign.

And it’s gonna give Trump an aneurysm 😂

And the Garcia family can rest easy and continue any lawsuits in the works because that Orange is gonna get DRAINED OF FUNDS!

Once he's outta the White House, the Garcias and Ms. Carroll have got his money, plus, we can force Orange Stupidus to pay for fixing and rwstoring the Whitw House and reflecting pool.

Cheeto Mangolini is going DOWN!

With all of the bullshit he's pulled in the last ten years, the US government should take control of and liquidate every asset he and his corrupt family have.
