From the Feed: The Constitution Held. Barely.
June 26 - July 2
This week was defined by one ruling: the Supreme Court found that Trump violated the Constitution by attempting to strip birthright citizenship from US-born Americans.

The press won't say what the ruling actually means
David J. Bier@David_J_Bier
This is the headline: SCOTUS found that Trump violated the Constitution by trying to deport US-born Americans. And it's amazing how no news outlet says it exactly this way.

One employer’s testimony the nativists don’t want you to hear
David J. Bier@David_J_Bier
Listen to what he says about his Haitian employees: "I wish I had 30 more. They come to work every day, they don't have a drug problem, they will stay at their machine, they'll hit their numbers, they're here to work. That's a stark difference from what we're used to."

A killing with no accountability
David J. Bier@David_J_Bier
Jonathan Ross shot and killed Renee Good unnecessarily, and he was never indicted, charged, or fired.

Death threats for telling the truth

And of course he did

Even Springfield’s Republican mayor opposes these deportations
David J. Bier@David_J_Bier
Just a reminder that the Republican Ohio governor and the Republican mayor of Springfield are against deporting the Haitians. Even though this could kill their political careers, the people actually affected are against your "help" to "save" their communities.

Rage toward people they’ve never met, judged only by birthplace
David J. Bier@David_J_Bier
They are so mad at people who have never done anything to them, who they have never met, who they know virtually nothing about other than their place of birth. It’s bizarre and evil to decide who is valuable and worthy of respect on this basis
Charles M. Blow @CharlesMBlow
This is what has been unleashed in this country: a return to emboldened racism. They feel validated and vindicated. They no longer have to couch their bigotry in polite language. It can now, once again, be raw and visceral. This is what we are fighting people.

The real danger isn’t birth tourism
David J. Bier@David_J_Bier
Our Republic can withstand a few birth tourists. It can't withstand giving the president the power to decide who is a "real American" and to vanquish those he thinks are not.

The new ICE director has never worked in immigration law
David J. Bier@David_J_Bier
Markwayne Mullin hires his friend from Oklahoma to head ICE even though he has zero executive experience and effectively no experience with immigration law beyond a state agreement to turn people over to ICE.

Conservatives still haven’t said these kids are Americans
David J. Bier@David_J_Bier
Has a single conservative said: "Oh well, I guess these kids are in fact Americans, time to welcome them and enact policies that will assure that they have the best chance to succeed in this country." All I've seen is let's make their lives hellish and hope they leave.

A historic day that never should have been necessary
David J. Bier@David_J_Bier
This day will be celebrated, but it never should have come to this. President Trump attempted to subvert the clear words of our Constitution and the traditions of our country for hundreds of years by instructing ICE to arrest US-born Americans. It was an attempted crime.
SCOTUS Wire @scotus_wire
🚨 The Supreme Court ruled that the Fourteenth Amendment guarantees birthright citizenship to children born in the United States, including those whose parents are in the country unlawfully or only temporarily, striking down President Trump's executive order.
