Birthright Citizenshp is "insane," says Jonathan Turley

Why Birthright Citizenship Must End Now

Jonathan Turley, a law professor at George Washington University, went on Fox News this week and didn’t mince words. He called the U.S. practice of automatic birthright citizenship “insane.”

Turley’s point was blunt. He said the country is one of the few in the world that still hands citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil, regardless of their parents’ status. He warned this is being abused and that it poses a real danger to the republic.

That warning landed as the Supreme Court heard arguments about President Donald Trump’s executive order that aimed to end birthright citizenship for children born to illegal aliens. The case has forced the justices to look at the 14th Amendment, its original meaning, and whether modern realities change that meaning.

Turley told the hosts: “The fact that we are one of the few countries that continues to embrace birthright citizenship is perfectly insane, and it is a great danger to this government and to this republic,” Turley said. ” So the question for these justices is not necessarily if they agree with birthright citizenship. I expect the majority does not.”

The ANTI-ICE Protesters at Minneapolis church

Turley: Ellison Wrong on Church Protest Charges

Something happened at a Minnesota church that many see as more than a protest. Activists entered and disrupted services. The state attorney general, Keith Ellison, called it “a First Amendment activity” and suggested federal charges weren’t warranted.

George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley disagrees. He says the actions cross the line from speech into criminal conduct. He argues there are multiple violations on the table.

Turley wrote: “One would think that a mob action against a church would be something that would transcend political divisions as a grotesque and chilling act. If you thought that, you do not know Keith Ellison.”

He pressed the point that protesting outside a church is protected speech. But disrupting services and mistreating worshippers inside is conduct. That can be treated as trespass, disorderly conduct, or other offenses under state law. Turley says federal statutes could also apply.

Ellison pushed back on criticism by framing the event as a First Amendment issue. Turley rejects that framing. “He is wrong,” Turley wrote.

The Left's Smear Campaign against Trump and Musk

Jonathan Turley just skewered media elites for this despicable attack on Donald Trump

Donald Trump is a shock to the Permanent Washington system.

That’s why establishment entities are losing their minds.

Targeting Elon

Donald Trump and Elon Musk have become twin villains in the eyes of the Left.

Musk and his DOGE team are exposing massive waste, fraud, and abuse, and they are being attacked mercilessly for it.

That is the same treatment that Trump has been getting for the last decade.

And Jonathan Turley, legal scholar and Trump’s impeachment attorney, called out the Democrat-controlled media’s smear tactics. Turley pointed out that the media are essentially trying to turn Musk into a grotesque Frankenstein monster.

Not only are Trump and Musk going directly after the Deep State’s funding source, they are exposing how the scam works.

Declaration of War Against American Voters

The Federalist: 'DOJ Indictment Of Trump Is A Declaration Of War Against American Voters'

John Daniel Davidson at The Federalist: On Tuesday, President Joe Biden’s Justice Department took the unprecedented step of indicting former President Donald Trump — Biden’s chief rival in the upcoming 2024 election — for repeatedly expressing his opinion that the last election was stolen, rigged, and unfair.

It’s an opinion millions of Americans share, and to which they are unquestionably entitled thanks to the First Amendment. That includes Trump, who has said repeatedly (and recently) that the 2020 election was stolen. He’ll probably keep saying it until his dying day, and he has every right to do so.

The idea that our Justice Department can indict someone, especially the sitting president’s main political rival, over speech that’s protected by the First Amendment is simply insane. It puts us firmly into banana republic territory, where tinpot dictators jail their political opponents ahead of election day to ensure their “reelection.”

Simply put, this indictment is nothing more than a declaration of war against American voters and their constitutional right to free speech. As Jonathan Turley noted on Twitter, “If you take a red pen to all of the material presumptively protected by the First Amendment, you can reduce much of the indictment to haiku.”

Bidens' Influence Peddling

Bidens offer ‘safe harbor’ to Hunter as he flails over scandalous reports, new messages show

In 2018, Hunter Biden’s world was collapsing, writes Jonathan Turley.

The New York Times had run a story on one of his shady deals with the Chinese and his father, the former vice president, was pulled into the vortex.

It appears that Hunter was in a free fall and his uncle Jim Biden reached out in newly discovered messages to offer him a “safe harbor.”

The exchange is an insight into the train wreck of the life of the scion of one of the most powerful families in the country.

However, it is also insight into a world of influence peddling where millions of dollars simply evaporated into the coffers of the Biden family.

Menancing Role of the FBI on Twitter

Jonathan Turley and Michael Shellenberger Sweep the Leg out From Under FBI Response to Twitter Files

George Washington law school professor, Jonathan Turley called the FBI’s response “chilling.”

“It is not clear what is more chilling: the menacing role played by the FBI in Twitter’s censorship program or its mendacious response to the disclosure of that role,” he declared in a tweet, then continued in a thread.

This week saw another FBI “nothing-to-see-here” statement to the Twitter files. Rather than acknowledge the concerns and pledge to work with Congress to guarantee transparency, the FBI is attacking free speech advocates who are raising the concern that Twitter had become an agent of the government in censorship. There are some who would question whether “working every day to protect the American public” should include censoring the public to protect it against errant or misleading ideas. There was a time when that was not a “conspiracy theory.”

"Congress never authorized FBI to do this. Gov't has no business censoring speech whether it's liberal speech or conservative speech. They have no business doing it. This is another act by the deep state out of control." @JamesComer

Gerrymandering

Another steal? Dems allegedly giving in to 'temptation' to keep House

Using radical rewrites of congressional districts to 'rig' elections

Jonathan Turley, a prominent constitutional expert is warning that Democrats are giving in to the "temptation" of "rigging elections" in their attempt to keep the majority of the U.S. House in this fall's elections.

The party that does not control the White House, in this case Republicans, usually raises its representation in the House by dozens of seats during midterm elections such as this year.

But Democrats hold a majority now only by a handful of seats, making it likely that they will lose the majority in the fall.

In their schemes to maintain control, according to Jonathan Turley, a constitutional expert and the Shapiro Professor of Public Interest Law at George Washington University, they are following "Oscar Wilde’s rule that 'the only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it.'"

Quote of the day - Jonathan Turley

"President Trump will not be our last president and what we leave in the wake of this scandal will shape our democracy for generations to come. I'm concerned about lowering impeachment standards to fit a paucity of evidence and an abundance of anger."
