There is a Chinese proverb that says, "May you live in interesting times." Well, we are certainly living in interesting times. Maybe not since FDR have we been on a path where such sweeping changes seem to be on the horizon. Birthright citizenship has been the law of the land since 1898, but could it be that the court was wrong in its understanding of the 14th Amendment? The short answer is yes but we'll have to wait and see. This could be a situation where the court overturns a longstanding, landmark ruling where it essentially the clause "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" applied only to sovereigns and diplomats. I think, however, today's court will say that this ruling is absurd and leads to nonsensical immigration policy. It's going to make the liberal pundits heads explode! I can't wait to see it!
