Trump CASHES IN Billion-Dollar Payday as Dem Socialists Keep SURGING
"Birthright citizenship was interesting to me. I actually it was a lot closer than I thought it would be and we were one vote away. I thought it was going to be 72. If any of the three liberal justices or Barrett or Roberts were to say pass away between now and 2028, Trump will have the votes to overturn birthright citizenship because he can appoint a conservative and it's not just birthright citizenship. It's really any of these cases."
Aaron Barnes revealed the Supreme Court voted 5-4 to uphold birthright citizenship, far closer than expected. She warned that if any of the moderate or liberal justices die or retire before 2028, Trump could appoint a justice who would provide the fifth vote to overturn the constitutional guarantee. The close margin shocked observers who expected the text of the 14th Amendment would command broader support, with Barnes noting four justices are now willing to let presidents rewrite the Constitution by executive order.
