13. "if birthright citizenship is revoked, can the reinstitution of slavery still be off limits?"
Sun Mar 29, 2026, 08:18 PM
Sunday

THAT is the problem we are facing.

No one thought they would "touch" Roe. No one thought they would touch the VRA (even with FOUR CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS DEALING WITH VOTING). Next target is the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

It's all up to those 6 fiends.
