I’ve repeatedly stated my agreement with Jonathan Turley that, slowly but surely—because that’s the way our judicial system operates—the legal agenda of Trump 2.0 would win out for the most part.
I earned my MS in secondary education in Illinois and taught 1 year on the North Shore. That adventure ended after a year, but I left the state immediately thereafter. The faculty lunch room made an indelible impression. Hack teachers (my sisters had them 15 years earlier. They were hacks then and still hacks when i was teaching there) talked at lunch about how they would soon have their 30 years in and could then retire with 70% of their pay for the rest of their lives. 70% of a North Shore teacher's pay for another 30 years (if they live that long)? There is absolutely no way that the math worked.
We now live in Colorado. We paid quite a lot for our home. But you know what? There are still 3 million peolle who haven't left Illinois. Fort Collins is rhe first city that you get to in Colorado from Illinois. Everyone in Chicago loves Colorado. I think that there will be upward population pressure on home prices here for a long time.
Perhaps it may be an opportune moment to remind ourselves who appointed this junior justice to the SCOTUS . Civility , temperance - don't make me laugh - scholars will read and re-read this dissenting opinion for decades to come - some may even chuckle quietly to themselves .
Justice Sotomayor, what about the people? It's not about presidential power, it's about silencing voters. Elections are pointless if a winning candidate is immediately prevented from carrying out wishes of voters.
Precisely. It was a type of bait and switch. Trump spends very little time on this stuff. He hands it off to others while he pursues Empire maintenance.
Looking at Illinois and their demographic problem as to the school system. It’s obvious that this is going to mean school consolidation and closures. You can pretty well bet the teachers union is not going to like the fact that there’s going to be less need of teachers and administrative personnel to run a smaller school system.
In fact, I have read I don’t know if it was in Chicago or someplace else where they school administration was trying to keep schools open even if they had very few students there for purposes of federal grants and keep people employed that were no longer necessary.
Illinois does not want to face the fact that they are broke and can no longer fund everything like they would like to. Just like a number of other states out there they refused to face reality and adjust the budgets accordingly.
The Supreme Court has acknowledged and accepted the concept of dual citizenship, recognizing that a person can simultaneously be a citizen of the United States and another country. The Court has affirmed that U.S. law does not require a citizen to renounce their foreign citizenship to maintain U.S. citizenship. This stance is supported by the principle that dual nationality is a long-standing concept in law, and a person can exercise the rights of both citizenships without automatically forfeiting the other according to the U.S. Embassy & Consulates in Japan.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Dual Nationality Recognized:

The Supreme Court has explicitly stated that dual nationality is a recognized status, meaning individuals can hold citizenship in both the U.S. and another country.

Rights and Responsibilities:

Acquiring foreign citizenship through naturalization or other means generally does not automatically lead to the loss of U.S. citizenship, according to the U.S. Department of State.
Loss of Citizenship Requires Intent:

I don't know anyone who wants to prohibit dual citizenship entirely. But I know many who would say that if you want to represent Americans in the Senate or House of Representatives that there's no way anyone should have to wonder which nation you're actually serving.
I loved this article!! For those of us who are not lawyers, it boiled everything down into understandable terms.
Thank you!!

The Scotus opinions are DEFINITE wins for Team Trump. This is what people voted him in for, not silly foreign wars.

Thank God his domestic team seems more efficient than his foreign team.

Because the point of the Illinois school system is teacher jobs and pensions. If some education happens to take place, okay.
The "teachers" unions basically run the IL government. All schools in Chicago are kept open despite shockingly low enrollments.
The SCOTUS has never considered the constitutionality of birth right citizenship.

Regardless of their citizenship, AIPAC lobbyists should not be allowed to bribe American congressman with campaign contributions.
I do.
Exactly. This is a matter for Congress, not the courts.
Congress is too busy giving tax breaks to the wealthy to generate big campaign donations to care.
Which means they'll get around to it after they finish spending themselves into insolvency.
