    The 14th Amendment keeps the USA democratic instead of apartheid.
    Hence your opposition to it.

    We aren't a democracy

    We are, of course, a democracy, as all educated persons understand the concept.

    Perhaps, there can be arguments made that we aren't. What we are and what we are required to be is a Republic. While there is often massive overlaps
    between the terms, there are also some key differences between them.

    Not an adult comment.


    Like finding a "right to privacy" that doesn't exist.

    It is a direct and necessary implication of explicit rights, dummy. The first, third, fourth and fifth amendments all imply some right to privacy, and the fourteenth incorporates those against the states. The first amendment regarding religion, for example, protects a right to make a private choice to adhere to a faith of the person's choice, or to no faith at all. The fifth amendment protection against self incrimination means you can't be forced to divulge private information that is harmful to you.

    But if you really want to go this route, where does the Constitution confer immunity to the president for committing crimes? How did Roberts find presidential immunity if the Constitution doesn't say a word about it?

    Constitutionality.  That's it.

    That's not it. They do far more than that, by design.

    This should be good.  Tell us how they are able to go beyond what the
    Constitution says they  can.

    The Constitution doesn't prescribe in any way what findings and orders judges make, dummy.




    They are not permitted to create new law yet they frequently do.
    They do not. That's a longstanding far right-wingnut lie.

    Like finding a "right to privacy" that doesn't exist.

    It is a direct and necessary implication of explicit rights, dummy. The first,
    third, fourth and fifth amendments all imply some right to privacy, and the fourteenth incorporates those against the states. The first amendment regarding
    religion, for example, protects a right to make a private choice to adhere to a
    faith of the person's choice, or to no faith at all. The fifth amendment protection against self incrimination means you can't be forced to divulge private information that is harmful to you.

    But if you really want to go this route, where does the Constitution confer immunity to the president for committing crimes? How did Roberts find presidential immunity if the Constitution doesn't say a word about it?

    And "Nobody" runs away again...

    Trump is counting on the Supreme Court to fix that.

    How inclined the justices might be to do so could become
    apparent on May 15 when the court considers Trump’s move to
    end automatic citizenship for children born in the United
    States regardless of whether their parents are citizens or
    permanent residents.

    The president hasn’t asked the high court to consider the
    legality of his policy – which was called “blatantly
    unconstitutional” by the first judge to review it.

    Instead, Trump wants the justices to narrow the scope of
    multiple court orders keeping his new rules on hold until the
    citizenship policy has been fully litigated.

    The administration argues that, for now, Trump should be able
    to impose the change on everyone except the eighteen parents

    Unless court orders are narrowly tailored to only cover the
    actual litigants, the administration argues, judges will have
    too much power to stall crucial presidential actions.
