The Supreme Court has ruled if you are born in the United States, you are a citizen. And if your parents traveled here to drop a baby, you are still a citizen. And if you spend five minutes here your entire life after your parents drop you here and then take you home, you are still a citizen. We'll dive into one of the most important rulings in the history of the Supreme Court in just one moment. Plus, we'll get to major Supreme Court rulings on the weed killer roundup, whether boys can play against girls in sports and women. campaign finance spending a huge legal day here at the Ben Shapiro show. Let's get into it live.
All righty, so the decision is in Trump versus Barbara. It's a birthright citizenship case, six to three, with Thomas Alito and Gorsuch in dissent. Justice Brett Kavanaugh sort of split the baby. He was sort of in dissent, sort of in concurrence, concurring in part, dissenting in part. Justice Roberts, again, a horrible pick for Chief Justice. I warned you of this when he was selected by George W. Bush. I was maybe the only conservative columnist in America who said that Justice Roberts would not be good. This makes yet another terrible change. Chief Justice Roberts' decision. Because again, remember, he's the guy who said Obamacare was totally legal. Now, he, along with the liberals on the court, is claiming that the Constitution of the United States under the 14th Amendment mandates, mandates that if you're born in the United States under pretty much any circumstances, you automatically become a citizen.
Now, I understand that we've been living with that rule in the United States for a very, very long time. That is how the... legal authorities have interpreted citizenship in the United States. But the real answer here is that the Constitution never, never contemplated that. The 14th Amendment never contemplated that. The Equal Protection Clause never contemplated that. The Birthright Citizenship Clause, the Citizenship Clause, Never contemplated that. The reality is that, again, because what has happened with illegal immigration is absolutely unprecedented over the course of the last few decades in American life. It just underscores how much this bad legal take on what citizenship amounts to has totally screwed America.
Congress abdicated, multiple presidents abdicated. And so when you let in literally millions, maybe tens of millions of people, who then have babies in the United States, who are then citizens.
