Today:

Eric Schmitt
[June 30, 2026]

This decision is egregiously wrong. SCOTUS upheld UNLIMITED birthright citizenship.
A bad reading of the 14th Amendment stripped Americans of control over who joins our political community.
I fought this in Court. I’m fighting it in Congress. We must win.
So, if legislation cannot fix it, then we must amend the Constitution. Citizenship belongs to the American people.
I will be filing this soon. We must restore American citizenship and put We the People first. We must fight.

[We the People Amendment
Restores the Bond of citizenship by:
Only Americans and legal permanent residents receive birthright citizenship – not illegal aliens or tourists
Only Americans vote in federal and state elections
Only Americans count for apportionment
Only Americans may hold federal office, and dual citizens are barred
Only Americans receive federal benefits like welfare and Social Security]

Fascist pig.

“…Only Americans vote in federal and state elections
Only Americans count for apportionment
Only Americans may hold federal office, and dual citizens are barred…”

And stupid, too. Do tell us of any non-citizens who hold elected federal office. We’ll wait.

“…not illegal aliens…”

Some of the responses to Eric Schmitt (r):

Only US citizen’s can vote in federal and state elections already. To hold federal office, they must already be a US Citizen.
Birthright citizenship means if you are born in this country. A legal permanent resident cannot receive birthright citizenship because they were not born in the US. An unborn child cannot enter the country undocumented or as a tourist.

Well, If they get this changed, then according to Trump his 3 oldest children are Anchor Babies and should be the 1st to be Deported, Trump’s 1st wife did not become a US Citizen intill after Eric was born…So, Go for and then we can follow the law and start with the 3 oldest Trump’s and their children

People have come to this country for many many years with the hope of having a better life. We have always been called the, Land of Opportunity and that’s what makes us a great nation. This country was built on the backs of immigrants looking for something better. Leave the birth right citizenship as it is. We wouldn’t be here today otherwise.

not recover? From what? The last time the immigration laws were substantively changed was 1996. You are as ignorant af. Our population through birth has steadily declined since 1960. We are under the replacement rate. How do you propose we get more bodies into our workforce?
If you are intent on making “America Great Again” you should not forget what made America great in the first place—birthright citizenship was a big part of that—everybody on a level playing field—opportunity for all. Get educated.

Next we’re gonna start arguing about what Pythagoras REALLY meant when he said a² + b² = c² 🙄
It’s plainly written, clear as day. Anyone born in the United States is a United States citizen. Saying otherwise is just blatantly wrong.

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Pretty clear what it says Eric. Maybe go back to law school.

Brother, you’re explicitly and objectively wrong about this. Even the drafters of the 14th Amendment acknowledged that it granted citizenship to all babies born in the US, except those born to foreign agents like diplomats.

Yeah, good luck amending the Constitution. It requires both parties to agree to change it. 2/3 of the House, 2/3 of the Senate, then 3/4 of the States Legislatures to ratify it before it becomes imbedded into the Constitution. It’s next to impossible and most Constitutional Amendments die in subcommittees. You are welcome to try but it’s not likely going to happen. 😂

I prefer the Constitution to your personal opinion.

Right decision. Good luck with an amendment before the mid-terms…or after. Focus on your constituents versus your ‘ideals’.

So…you’re *not* going to back Rubio for president?

Heh. He has someone else in mind.

They made the right decision. Just because you don’t like the fact that these citizens typically vote against you and your racist party doesn’t mean the system is broken. The wording in the US Constitution is very specific, and it was wonderful to see the Supreme Court protect this constitutional right!

Your opinion. 6 Justices had differing views.

Well, Five and a half.

they only way this works is if it applied retroactively to the Jamestown colony.

So…… how do you prove your citizenship?

Have your papers ready (January 14, 2025)

Tell me you’re racist without telling me you’re racist.

🤣😂 Here for all the dunces who have no idea what’s required to pass a constitutional amendment

Im a little worried about how you will be defining “only Americans”

come on. Only Americans is code for white only.

As any middle schooler knows, a change requires a constitutional amendment. Let us know how that works out for you.

Naturalized citizens should not hold office

Ah, the slippery slope. Definitely not an originalist.

The decision is constitutionally sound and frankly should have been 9-0. If you don’t like it, start the process to amend the constitution

Awww, sucks for you when the SCOTUS actually follows the Constitution.

[….] Lunacy! The US and Canada are the ONLY developed nations on the world who recognize birthright citizenship

“…Both U.S. neighbors, Canada and Mexico, allow unrestricted birthright citizenship, as do all but two countries in South America…” [the Western Hemisphere]

As someone that leans on the side of conservatives I am going to flat out tell you that you are wrong on this one. The very first line of the 14th Amendment clearly states: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” It doesn’t mention anything about parents being naturalized or natural born citizens.

If you want to make a constitutional amendment edit, then go through the process for it, but the current U.S. Constitution and the documented speech of the author of that amendment while introducing it absolutely makes it clear that if you are born within the boundaries of the U.S. and are subject to U.S. laws (i.e. are not part of the family of a diplomat who has immunity to U.S. laws) then you’re a citizen. The SCOTUS simply correctly interpreted what the current clearly lays out. I’m disappointed that you are the one supporting a bad reading.

You’re egregiously wrong sir

So much to unpack in those statements but a lot off bullshit and not well thought out

Eric,
You never fail to disappoint.

The supreme court just reminded Trump that he is not an omnipotent potentate and he cannot rule by fiat.

Before jumping on your bandwagon, you will have to convince me that “born in the United States and subject to its jurisdiction, does not mean what it says. This is not the first time the Supreme Court has ruled on birthright citizenship, and in both cases, they upheld the language of the 14th amendment.

This will surely lower the cost of living!

Did your brain cells fight each other when you wrote this nonsense? 🤣🤣🤣

When SCOTUS says NO, you go low! Add a line to that: to hold office, you must prove a basic understanding of civics. A certificate of remedial education would need to be proof of eligibility to run for office

Birthright citizenship should apply if both parents were born in this country.

goodbye Barron. Goodbye Ivanka, Eric, Jr… And Goodbye Donald J Trump Sr.
None of them had both parents born in USA.

Can we add in something about convicted felons being ineligible for public office?

We see what you did there.

Only “Americans”. Schmitt gets to pick who can be classified as an “American.”

How are you a senator who doesn’t understand how the constitution works? Better yet, how are you a lawyer who doesn’t understand?

The U.S. Senate and law schools will take anybody…

Scared of those brown people I see Eric….

The decision upholds the Constitution sir. One would think someone with a law degree would have known what the President did via Executive Order was not legal.

You should leave the country out of protest. Hell, just shoot yourself in a rocket into fucking space

There’s a guy…

Wait wait wait… are you mad they UPHELD the constitution? I didn’t realize there could be a “bad reading” of an amendment. This is when you need to choose your language wisely because when everything flips blue maybe they will find a “bad reading” of something you agree with then you’ll just have to sit there silently with your clown mask on. 🤡

Fool

The Supreme Court already ruled on point one. Americans are already only allowed to vote in federal and state elections. The Constitution doesn’t say citizens so you’ll need an amendment for apportioning. Only Americans can hold federal office already. Only Americans receive welfare and SS already.
This is performative as hell. You’re finding problems where there is none because the Republicans are covering for Trump with the Epstein files and this godawful war.

No it is not egregious. What was egregious was you trying to take away citizenship and deport people who were born here and have never lived anywhere else.

The 5-4 vote in the birthright citizenship case is a warning that all of US law is in terrible danger.

Will this open the Strait of Hormuz? Will this make housing affordable? Will this lower insurance premiums? Will this help hungry families? Will this release the Epstein files?
No. Because Sen Schmitt’s idea is effing stupid.

Feels a little….Nazi Race Law like..

You are egregiously wrong. The Constitution is very clear about this. The Constitution is not a haphazardly thrown together document. Its language is very precise for a reason.

This has already been the law of the United States for 250 years, so it’s not a surprise and not a change. So, there is no such thing as an amendment to it “restoring” anything. What happened here is that Trump attempted an act of constitutional vandalism, and failed.

Eric, I know thinking is hard for you but let’s give it a try. You want “only Americans” to receive birthright citizenship. So how exactly does one go about becoming an “American”? In fact, how did you become an American? You didn’t pass any background check, test or take any citizenship oath. You became an American simply by being born here. Now, I’ll give you time to think about this.

Eric will need a lot of time. He has demonstrated often that thinking is not his stregth

Amazing how you seem to have this sado masochistic obsession with constantly being on the wrong side of history.

Congress can’t pass a spending bill and Eric Schmitt thinks, through the sheer weight of his fantastic personality, he is going to get a Constitutional amendment passed.

There’s that.

Cry about it little bitch

Look kids an asshole that talks

Eric Schmitt should be ashamed of himself. Insisting that the clear and unambiguous language of the 14th amendment could allow any other result is obviously baseless to even a first week law student. Someone whose oath is to the Constitution making such a frivolous claim undermines faith in the judicial system.

You’re not mad at the decision, you’re mad at the Constitution.
You UnAmerican imbecile.

Eric Schmitt – anyone ever tell you that you’re an idiot? You truly are. You claim that the Supreme Court didn’t follow the constitution in its ruling – when in fact it did! And now you want to continue to carve out exceptions. Look, we know that MAGAts like you want to overturn the 14th in its entirety so that you can then argue that there are no people of color allowed to vote and they one count for 3/5 for apportionment , but it ain’t gonna happen. In fact, the original constitution, without amendments, called for the counting EVEYONE – not just those that you deem worthy.
And for the record, states already have laws that say only citizens can vote in state and federal elections. And laws already exist limiting who can receive welfare and SSI benefits. If you feel that they people are getting it that aren’t entitled to it, give the SSA the funds for enforcement instead of cutting it to the bone every chance you get. Seriously, people like you are insufferable.

Yep.
