Therein lies the rub:
The 14th amendment piece has never been directly adjudicated as such.

Besides, everyone knows exactly what it was written for at the time. You know how we know? Because the people who crafted it were prolific writers about their opinions and debate, along with a more worthy, news-crafting, journalistic integrity.

You might recall bits of that from the first amendment.

So, the robes come to a decision yet?

Exactly. There is no ruling that addresses this. Your "opinions"...especially this bizarre stretch about sending money...are not relevant. The amendment "addresses" people who are "subject to the jurisdiction thereof"...it says ABSOLUTELY ZERO about this made-up concept of "allegiance."

Even this guy gets it. No ruling.

As to this "prolific writers" stuff...feel free to show summa that to us! But as I warned above, there will no doubt be other "writers" that contradict anything you can cherry pick. KInd of a waste of time though. Cuz only Court rulings matter. Not MAGA hatred.
