It’s important to remember there are two scandals here:
1. The Administration has likely committed war crimes.
2. But the entire operation - which now includes two dozen attacks - is illegal. In our democracy, the President CANNOT wage war without the consent of the people.

There are several academics, not Anthony, who jumped into this research area AFTER Trump issued his EO on birthright, had never/rarely written in the area. For what ends? To try to create a constitutional controversy where there is none. Framers' intent, text, doctrinal development are clear.

Sure, but the rate of citizens claiming to be citizens is roughly 100%.
BASH: If ICE says it doesn't arrest US citizens, why do we keep seeing incidents of them aggressively pursuing citizens?

I'm not sure what Trump thought he was doing by posting the Cuellar daughters' letter & his "lack of LOYALTY" rant, but, in addition to making clear the transactional nature of the pardon in his mind, he also admitted that a transparently flattering letter is all it takes for him to grant a pardon.
