Speaking of Chevron Deference
-
This was my prognostication next door after the Dobbs decision:
What else do you think they’ll do after overruling Roe/Casey?
My predictions:
1). end affirmative action, perhaps in a sweeping way prohibiting any race based preferences such as those creeping into medicine.
-
end ‘Chevron deference’, and perhaps other restrictions of the power of the administrative state.
-
chip away at gun control measures
-
allow limited religious exceptions to LGBT inclusion (eg wedding cake guy)
Less likely but possible:
- end birthright citizenship
What they won’t do:
- reverse oberfell or bostock
Anyone else care to make predictions?
I’d still stand by this.

How difficult would it be to pass a constitutional amendment to eliminate birthright citizenship?

Wasn't there a court case which challenged that? At question was, "What does 'Subject to the laws of the United States' mean?"

Yes, in 1898. They established that people born here of foreign parents without diplomatic immunity are citizens.

U.S. vs. Wong Kim Ark

I kind of agree with ending it. There are a lot of countries that do not allow citizenship just because you were born there.

This country has the same birth right to citizenship as the US. The difference here being that is not constitutional but rather, contained in the Citizenship Act and therefore easily amended through introducing amending legislation in Parliament. There are currently some discussions about eliminating the birthright section going forward but not enough to spur any debate among legislators. I would certainly support its amendment and elimination.
