this is severe, untreatable, terminal lawyer brain. so many legal academics act like the constitution is not a vessel intended to secure actual human rights and dignity, but a mere matter of intellectual curiosity, meant to be batted around like a cat with a toy
That's a good question. But I think my answer is yes. I wouldn't assume good faith if someone made argument that we should, as normative matter, go back to Dred Scott. But if argument were that case was wrongly decided as a legal matter, I would try to understand and respond as best I could....

From CSPAN:
Rep. @AOC on during Laken Riley Act debate: "When a private prison camp opens in your town and they say, 'we didn't know this was going to happen,' know that they did and they voted for it."

United States-born children are citizens and no executive order can change that.
We’ll fight to ensure birthright citizenship remains the law of the land.

Actually, the 14th Amendment still exists
Trump signed an executive order purporting to rewrite birthright citizenship. That's not how the Constitution works.

We’re suing President Trump.
The 14th Amendment is clear: People born in the United States are citizens. An executive order cannot override the Constitution.
