Good question, I didn't think of that. I'd think she'd be against TFG's new attacks on birthright status Rhiannon12866 Jun 29 #5

How long will that take? Trump is an expert at dragging things out. How much damage will be done, how many American citizens will be jailed and/or deported until the Supremes get around to hearing whatever test case comes up?

I haven’t watched the video yet (too late right now), but I wonder how sure he is that the Supreme Court will rule correctly? We’ve already seen how squishy the “strict constructionists” were when it came to whether Insurrectionalist Trump was allowed to run for a second term. Despite the plain language of the amendment, they decided that the writers were idiots and didn’t correctly create it.

Which disqualified TFG for any public office. How we ended up with a convicted felon who attempted to overthrow the government is still a mystery to me.
