SCOTUS and Birthright Citizenship ERROR #2 SCOTUS says the history of Jus Soli establishes that everyone born on American soil regardless of parental legal status automatically becomes a citizen. However, factually and historically, Jus Soli is a legal doctrine developed by kings and conquerors to expand political power by creating subjects. I find it disturbingly ironic that the liberal Justices, who claim to see slavery and oppression in every corner of American history, completely overlook the genuinely feudal origins of this doctrine. This is what happens when history and the Constitution are replaced with political mythology. Children are born subject to their parents, not to government. It’s a parental authority issue, not a government jurisdiction issue. Government does not become a child’s master simply because they first draw breath within a particular border. Even Great Britain, the very nation the majority relies upon to bind us to this feudal doctrine, has abandoned unconditional birthright citizenship. 1. Americans rejected the notion that people are born owing unconditional and perpetual allegiance to kings and governments when we declared Independence. 2. We rejected it again when we established a constitutional republic where citizenship is founded upon law, consent, and allegiance, not the accident of geography. Now, through an astonishing ignorance of both history and constitutional principle, the majority has resurrected the very feudal philosophy our Founders rejected. It is a political doctrine that says government owns your political allegiance from the moment of your birth, regardless of the allegiance of your parents. That is the doctrine of kings and oppressors and therefore patently unAmerican. If SCOTUS will, through an unfathomable depth of ignorance for political reasons, voluntarily adopt such despotism are we also going to overturn Dredd Scott in some creative but imaginative way that will become championed by the very people it once oppressed? Every generation that abandons discernment eventually discovers the same truth: unintended consequences are monsters that never stay under your control. Eventually, they turn on their creators.
