Sweaty Mike Davis Melts Down Over Looming SCOTUS Birthright Citizenship Ruling
Mike Davis, a chief counsel for the nominations of Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh and a judicial advisor and friend of Donald Trump, is worried that the Supreme Court will rule against Trump's executive order wiping out the 14th Amendment's birthright citizenship provision.
Davis' main argument is an interpretation of the phrase "subject to the jurisdiction thereof," which requires more than physical presence but also allegiance to the US. Davis claims children born here to migrants don't meet his standards that guarantee U.S. citizenship.
Davis joined podcaster Steve Bannon after Solicitor General John Sauer's oral arguments with the Supreme Court.
DAVID: He made a compelling case why the 14th Amendment does not provide birthright citizenship to illegal aliens, just like it did not provide birthright citizenship to American Indians.
And Congress did that by statutes later on. So I would say this: if the Supreme Court follows the clear law here, this is a very easy case.
It should be six to three, saying that birthright citizenship is not for illegal aliens, right?
If the Supreme Court follows the politics, we could see a seven-to-two decision for birthright citizenship for 1.5 million Chinese birth tourists. And I'm a little bit nervous it may be the latter by statute.
Someone is sweating bullets. If the Supremes made a "political" decision, it would be to side with Demented Donald.
