SCOTUS Term 25-26

[Rifler]

Thomas's dissent is reasonable, but given that the current interpretation of the 14th is so entrenched in US society, an amendment is the only practical solution...

 

[JayDeeSC]

Given the 6-3 ruling apparently some thought there were elements of merit...

Nah, just political hacks.

It's only reasonable when viewed in a vacuum while operating under the erroneous assumption that the drafters(and states that approved it's adoption) of the 14th amendment made a mistake by not specifically stating that it's intentions are to strictly protect the citizenship of freed black slaves. Which of course is ridiculous and backed up by the records of congress during it's debate on the subject.

Clarence Thomas made it abundantly clear he's 80, and doesn't care much for trans citizens. It isn't about the specific ruling, it's the language that he used. I expect GuRLz SpORtz was never going to be the end of the the far right's agenda when it comes to trans citizens.

There he is.
