because 2.0 is going to be making the individual cuts permanent
any dem voting against that in a red state is fatal
even obama with a dem senate extended the bush cuts, remember
The Congress just has to amend the law to end birthright citizenship.
do you need 2/3 for that? would be really tough
It can be restricted, but under current law it's defined as anyone born in the US, plus four other categories.
You need 60% of the Senate.
isn't it amending the constitution so it needs 2/3?
actually
maybe i'm wrong
No.
looks like it was settled through the supreme court in 1898 re:their interpretation of the 14th amendment. so it could be overturned maybe?
The Supreme Court ruled that it's unconstitutional to deny birthright citizenship on the basis of race, but it hasn't ruled out restricting it for foreigners, and it's actually affirmed stripping native tribes of citizenship, so long as they are neither deported nor obliged to pay taxes.
ah
(The Constitution directly uses the phase "excluding Indians untaxed".)
so could a simple bill in congress restrict it for foreigners then?
Yes.
In fact, there are already exceptions.
They're just very narrow.
And the Supreme Court has upheld them
or would roberts cuck?
I think it'd be best, in any case, to get one more justice in there
yea
i think one of breyer or ginsburg is out by 2020
Ginsburg
And I think Sotomayor would be more likely to be off the court soon than Breyer in all honesty
A new immigration law would likely be upheld.
But Kavanaugh is actually to the left of me in terms of jurisprudence
So who knows

north korea cucked
