I keep reading stories here at Daily Kos about Trump’s Executive Orders and other statements made, which portend huge changes in American life.
One of them is his EO on birthright citizenship.
Go read that drivel if you want to.
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Regardless of what Trump wrote, he cannot overcome the protections of the 14th Amendment.
Unless he and his crooked, corrupt asshole cohorts actually dissolve the US Constitition.
They can’t force through new Amendments, because they only control the White House and Congress — but not 37 state legislatures, which would be required by Article V, before any change to the Constitution can be recorded by the Archivist.

The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.
So, let us stop theorizing on all of the harm Felonius Don can cause with his proclamations, when most of it would require re-writing the Constitution.
How about we talk about the actual harm he can and is doing, and what to do about that?
Putting tariffs on all goods coming into the country, which will put a powder keg under inflation, which in turn will start massive layoffs and bankruptcies - now that’s something he CAN and probably WILL do and it will start four years of rising prices and unemployment.
