Preventive pardons galore. Unbelievable! How Trump managed not to remove Fauci from the COVID task force is beyond me, but now Fauci is preemptively pardoned!! This is absurdly crazy.
Ah for sure. He intuitively knew Fauci was a menace and shutting down the country was not warranted, but didn’t have the muscle to fight back. We shall see if he learned the lesson.
The 14th Amendment, Sec. 1, starts: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."
The Constitutional question regarding birthright citizenship will be the meaning of "subject to the jurisdiction thereof." I would guess that the government will argue that it means at least one parent is a US citizen or, at least, in the US legally. The other side will argue it has some ministerial meaning or is just meaningless boilerplate, and stare decisis, that changing the interpretation after 160 years would be unwise and inappropriate and, as the current interpretation has been used since the earliest days of the Amendment, it is illogical to claim it originally meant anything else.
Yeah. Our state of Illinois has insurmountable problems related to forever growing budget deficit, population decline, large corporations leaving the city and the state, the rot in public education, and of course crime, but what do we do? File a lawsuit against Trump to fight the birthright provision. As if there is no other way to challenge him and that is an absolute priority for IL residents.
I subscribed to Tablet thinking it was a more liberal, balanced resource. My mistake. I absolutely hate this pandering to the hypocrisy of everything DT says and does. You love autocracy? Count me out. AOC is one of the few brave people in Congress. I'm not a fan of her stands on Israel, but she is at least doing her job in speaking out in favor of democracy. Too many others hide in fear of this autocratic narcissist you guys are praising. Good luck with that. I'm canceling Tablet.
While pretty much everyone in the country is going to be affected one way or another by the efforts of the new Trump administration, the silver lining in these times is how much more attuned the overall citizenry is to the actions of their government.
AOC's comments are a classical example of woke hypocrisy and disregard of the truth-Trump's inaugural spech was spectacular
Right now she represents a very blue district and has not been seriously challenged in a primary or an election
Yet she did go to Joe Biden’s inauguration.
Trump IS NOW the 47th president of the United States. He WAS thr 45th.

I am sure this executive order will be challenged.
Lawsuits already happening across the US.

She is Pro Hamas. Pro Jihadist, and a Jew Hater. "The New Matriarchy" of Jew Haters
Sue her for defamation. Grab the popcorn.
CBS on Vivek.
No thank you.
Everything was good.
I’ll wait for Vivek or Elon to make an announcement on X.

That’s a really good thing in my book.
Let’s hope it stays that way!
Didn't realize how right wing Tablet is. MAGA Jews 🤔
Pro Jihadist Jew? Get lost
So AOC endorsed violence?
"if someone hasn’t committed a crime, why should they fear the investigative process?"
^that's a naive question.
Donald Trump has been inaugurated into office as the 45th president of the United States
Do you mean 47th?
I guessed there would be several such proposed corrections here in comments but had to scroll to the bottom of the stack to find you. Good catch.
It’s fixed in the web by the way
No worries.
