The SCOTUS decision re birthright citizenship [View all]
By the four Justices who dissented (or effectively dissented), it occurs to me that these Justices were ready to overrule the case that gave SCOTUS the right to interpret the Constitution: Marbury v Madison.
M v M decided that only the United States Supreme Court could ultimately interpret and decide what the Constitution means. Not the President. Not Congress.
While there will be scholars who claim that these four (treasonous) Justices were merely interpreting the Constitution, I disagree. They were re-writing the Constitution on behalf of either (or both) the President and/or Congress.
As for Kavanaugh, his concurrence didn't touch the 14th Amendment. He claimed that Congress could draft and enact a new statute that would pass constitutional scrutiny and be declared valid. Not even a sentence about "amend the Constitution if you feel that strongly about it."
Big talk for so-called "Originalists" who claimed that either it's plainly written and interpreted or it's not.
