for those who support Herr Fuhrer the Chump.

Watching for SCOTUS to agree that technically no non us born citizen has first amendment rights and leave a little window open for further restrictions.

I’m sure there is some obscure ruling from the 1600s witch burning judge which will support that position while pretending that hundreds of rulings of the opposite position don’t apply or even exist.

We’re not far away from that possibility.
