So what laws can we get passed that prevents these spawn from getting benefits if their parents are illegal aliens. Where does it say in the 14th amendment that these spawn are due free shit from our coffers. Think of the money we could save.

No details but it looks like SCOTUS has ruled in favor of state laws banning trannies in women's sports. I guess one logical implication is that "sex" in Title IX means biological sex. Which, yeah duh, but now it's in writing.

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.

On June 30, 2026, a ransomware group has reportedly compromised Tata Electronics, Apple's manufacturing partner in India, leaking sensitive data including supplier lists and unreleased iPhone 18 Pro images on the dark web. This incident poses a significant threat to Apple's carefully constructed global supply chain, which relies on numerous suppliers for its components. 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.

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."

The Birthright decision makes no senese, is not what the intent of the amendment as expressed by the writers of the amendment and is a wholly made concoction of the courts.
I see no way forward except the implemntation of strenuous and rigours immigration and border enforcement and the immediate expulsion of any foreign woman in the custody of the United States to either their home country or to a location outside of the country to wait an proceedings.

The majority went further than it had to.

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.

Supreme Court: No, we define what that means, and it is opposite of what the legislature meant.
Posted by: Chuck Martel at June 30, 2026 12:03 PM (Dv3i1) And sadly, the Supreme Court has now ruled that, if you can be arrested by a local cop for jaywalking, then you are "subject to the jurisdiction of." 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. Posted by: Tom Servo at June 30, 2026 12:07 PM (edUvp) 371
SCOTUS didn’t even bother looking at what the drafter or the 14th Amendment said. They just listed what a bunch of dumbasses thought in meant.

>>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.

Just declare that citizen children of illegal aliens are wards of the state, put them in orphanages, and ship their illegal moms and dads home. It can't be done, but it would be fun to see the reaction.

The dissent is right on the money. Alas, it is a dissent.
Posted by: Elric The Blade at June 30, 2026 12:01 PM (iFTx/) The good: So was Grutter v. Bollinger dissent, IIRC. The bad: It took 20 years to percolate before Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard made that a reality. Will the Republic last another 20 years? Dunno. But that's on SCOTUS, which made an apparent overstep here as you note.

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!
