cracked that had made millions of dollars in California and Orange County and around Irvine.
So they actually did explore that issue.
But I think they're only going to consider the practicalities of the thing in terms of
you know how it would you know how if the framers had known about uh these modern technologies including you know in vitro fertilization you know how they would have applied uh the key second clause in section one of the 14th amendment subject to the jurisdiction of the united states yeah i mean doesn't the constitution also include a provision that we can thwart invasion
Yeah, no.
And, you know, it's actually a very interesting point, Vince, because at one juncture, I think it was Justice Sotomayor who, you know, or actually it was Justice Jackson who, you know, suggested that if the Trump executive order were to take effect, that pregnant women would have to be deposed by their doctors to determine what their status was in the United States.
Now, this represents a fundamental misunderstanding of what happens at maternity hospitals.

And you and I both know how common this is when the parents go to apply for food stamps for that child.
If you look at the amicus brief that was filed by the state of Tennessee, they actually talk about the billions of dollars.
That states incur providing means tested public benefits, WIC, Medicaid, food stamps to, you know, all of those children who were born to illegal aliens in the United States.
So, again, I think that if the framers had known that and we can, you know, the Supreme Court is going to try and suss out, you know, what the framers would have thought if they had known that we would have this welfare state.
Well, you know, that's a great question.
And, you know, we could probably talk for an hour about all of those benefits, but here's really the key one.
