88 The Slaughter case, overturning precedent, returns us to a spoils system where a president can “clean house” every four years, destroying our professional, independent civil service.

The government is so big that this statement is silly.
The federal government is roughly 2.7 million people. No administration is capable of replacing that many people in 4 or 8 years.
Of course, you could terminate 2.7 million people in 4 years.

The top political mangers are already part of a "spoils system". This ruling merely dips a little further into the managerial hierarchy.

The leaked information could potentially damage Apple's relationship with Tata and provide competitors and counterfeiters with critical insights into Apple's manufacturing processes...The leaked documents, which include over 200,000 files detailing exclusive suppliers for key components, underscore both the strengths and vulnerabilities of Apple's supply chain.

186 During his first term, Comptroller Mejia looked into the city's liability payments, particularly for the LAPD. It turns out, annual liability payouts are a $320 million black hole that's more than tripled just since 2022. In a city with a ONE BILLION DOLLAR deficit.

But somebody (or somebodies) in Los Angeles apparently doesn't want Mejia looking into the city's soaring liabilities. According to a City Watch L.A. report, Mayor Bass's budget cuts include "reducing positions tied to accounting, payroll approval, and financial reporting" in Mejia's comptroller office, weakening "the city’s ability to monitor spending in real time, manage long-term fiscal planning, and maintain accountability when every dollar matters."

Yes, democratic socialists are left of traditional Democrats. But they aren’t remotely as radical—or anywhere near as powerful—as the MAGA right.

If the left were as extreme as the right, people would have stormed the WH by now. Perhaps Trump keeps doing crazy shit to try to provoke people into civil war in order to declare Martial Law.

what is it the extreme left wants? Healthcare for everyone, affordable housing, cheaper groceries, free education...so radical man.

One extreme is mass deportations and concentration camps, the other extreme is universal healthcare. There is no comparison here. One is rooted in compassion, the other is not

Only in America can you be just vaguely left of center and be called a “dangerous radical”. The actual left is SO MUCH FURTHER than the happy, smiling Democratic Socialists and “Nordic Model” SocDems.

That's kind of what it amounts to because Trump has rightly given up on Congress and done what he had to do via EO. He got somewhat personally screwed because he fought so hard. Kudos to the man.

As I've posted before, the 1924 Indian Citizenship Act demonstrated that Congress has the power to interpret and redefine the boundaries of the 14th.

American Indians were explicitly excluded by the strict wording of the 14th. Congress changed that, without needing to change the Amendment itself.

I'm not a legal scholar, but what I've noticed is that the current SC is decidedly conservative in the way its decisions are based on Article responsibilities as stated in the Constitution. The Court majorities have been averse to making law from the bench and have repeatedly placed remedies for conflicting lower court decisions in the hands of the federal and state legislatures. For example, the recent mail-in ballot decision.

The majority went further than it had to. Instead of just saying "this has to be done by Congress, not by EO," they went all the way and held that the 14A guarantees citizenship to the anchor babies of foreign invaders. It's a bad as it could have been.

The dissent is right on the money. Alas, it is a dissent.

The only good news is that this doesn't change anything. Trump took a shot at a long-standing left-wing fetish. He lost. But this only means we are were we have been for at least 50 years.

Because sadly, what you or I "think" about the issue doesn't matter one bit. What matters is what directions will be followed by the courts. If the courts say "you get a license, you get benefits, you can vote" then they get a license, they get benefits, they can vote.

In fact, it's even worse than that. If you can be arrested for entering the country illegally, then you are automatically "subject to the jurisdiction of".

Every person in this nation is now "Subject to the jurisdiction of" except for space aliens in UFO's and Bigfoot.

I believe this is incorrect. Bigfoot and space aliens are also subject to the jurisdiction of the US. Thus, if Bigfoot impregnated a space alien, and the space alien gave birth on US soil, then the resulting offspring would be eventually entitled to vote.

So, we got that going for us!
