Question : didn't the supreme court just say that lower level judges can't block him? Which would mean that appeal judges can? So this question is far from settled?

On unrelated news, what would happen if people stopped paying federal taxes?

I.e., if all of california, or blue states in general, stopped paying federal taxes simultaneously, what would realistically be the outcome?

How would it affect the US? How would it affect the states?

And: Is there a proper place to discuss ideas such as this one?


My (very rough) understanding is that people pay income taxes to the federal tax agency directly. From there, the central US government sends parts of it back to the states, to do things with it such as public services.

Blue states are more economically heavy than red states. They pay in more than they get out. If they stop paying taxes, the US suffers but they get to keep a larger share to themselves? My understanding is very rough, it's just a rough idea.

It could weaken Trump's government?

To get a meaningful amount of people to withhold their taxes from the Fed you'd probably need to get enough people working and acting together that you'd already have been able to elect progressive politicians to begin with.

Last time shit got real bad economically we had general strikes, the building of unions, trust and monopoly regulation, etc.

So... He's goin to deport Baron Trump then, right?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

I'm all for deporting all of the Trumps, but technically he has citizenship because of his terrible father, regardless of birth location or his mother's citizenship status.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 hours ago

Where in the Constitution do we spell out that citizenship is granted to a child on the basis of the status of the father, regardless of birth location or their mother's status?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 hours ago

No we should deport the Trumps. I'm sure we can find some minor error or omission in his father's old citizenship application. Do what they're doing - go back up the family tree, declare their ancestor's citizenship fraudulent, and deport their whole rotten family tree.

If you end birthright citizenship, then nobody gets to be a citizen by birth. If you can't be a citizen by birth, the only way to become a citizen is naturalization. If the only citizens are naturalized people, the country is 100% immigrants.

It's just the title, it even says in the article he would move forward with trying to redefine the 14th amendment. Basically it'll be if your parents are citizens, and your born here, you'll be a citizen. (My best guess)

If the only citizens are naturalized people, the country is 100% immigrants.

What do they think America is founded on?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 hour ago

A mix of first generation immigrants, 2nd generation, 3rd generation, 4th generation, a few remaining natives.

100% first generation immigrants would be a major shift.

And if immigrants don’t need due process and can be sent to concentration camps then it’s really easy to make anyone disappear

[–] [email protected] 19 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

If immigrants don't get due process, then nobody gets due process.

You could arrest Bill Clinton and claim he's an immigrant. If that means he doesn't get due process, he can never prove he's not an immigrant, and so he's stuck in Guantanamo forever.
