The DC Establishment media is absolutely terrified and has gone dead silent on a bombshell Supreme Court case that has the potential to fundamentally redefine American citizenship and secure our border. For decades, the Left has peddled a convenient, yet legally questionable, interpretation of the 14th Amendment’s birthright citizenship clause. Now, that may all come crashing down, and you need to know why, before the elites try to bury the truth.
Joe Pags sat down with Mike Davis, founder of the Article 3 Project and a constitutional sharp-shooter, to unpack the explosive legal battle now before the Supreme Court. The focus? A simple, powerful phrase in the 14th Amendment: “subject to the jurisdiction thereof.”
As Pags points out, this key phrase was an addition, put in place by a senator named Howard in the 1860s. It wasn’t just a typo; “It’s got to mean something,” Pags insists.
Davis explains the original and proper legal meaning of the clause: “Subject to the jurisdiction means that you are loyal to the United States.” This means that children of foreign ambassadors, an invading army, and crucially, illegal aliens, do not automatically get citizenship.
Davis drives the point home with historical fact, citing a case where the Supreme Court ruled that American Indians were not considered “subject to the jurisdiction of the United States” and thus did not get birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment.
“If American Indians did not get birthright citizenship under the 14th amendment, how the hell would illegal aliens? And the answer is is they don’t,” Davis declares.
For too long, the Deep State has allowed a perverse interpretation to take root, turning our borders into a revolving door and birthright into a “golden ticket” for chain migration. “Do do these Democrats really think that they’re they’re going to get birthright citizenship a golden ticket for the rest of their lives just because they happen to be trespassing at the time of their birth? That’s that’s just not how the 14th amendment works,” Davis states. We are an America-First news outlet, and we believe our nation’s laws should be followed!
The only path forward is for the six originalist, textualist constitutionalists on the Supreme Court to read the plain text as it was intended. Davis hopes that by the time the court rules, conservatives have “educating the public and turning up the political pressure” to make the outcome “inevitable,” just as they did on Presidential Immunity.
KBJ: The Incompetent Gift That Keeps on Giving?
But the constitutional turmoil doesn’t end with birthright. Pags and Davis turn their attention to a more immediate threat: the startling incompetence of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. Pags calls her “completely over her head,” noting that a fellow liberal justice recently had to call her out and say, “I don’t think you’re you’re giving a an opinion on the same case that we’re looking at.”
The shocking moment came during oral arguments when Justice Jackson argued the President lacks the power to fire unelected bureaucrats—the “so-called experts” or “the Tony Fouchis of the world.”
Davis’s reaction is exactly what every patriotic American is thinking: “I I think that’s the definition of tyranny is having unelected unaccountable uh bureaucrats running our lives with no accountability.”
While Pags wonders if she can be impeached for rank incompetence, Davis offers a more humorous, yet chillingly effective, conservative strategy: “I don’t want to get rid of Katanji Brown Jackson. I think she’s the gift that keeps giving every time she opens her mouth.” He sees her as a walking, talking display of the low-quality appointments of the radical Left, which only serves to wake up more Americans! We can’t help but chuckle at the slap-stick irony of the situation.
The Swamp’s Sneaky Games: Blue Slips, The Filibuster, and The SAVE Act
The conversation takes an even darker turn when Pags and Davis expose the shadowy tactics DC insiders use to keep power out of the hands of a duly elected president—especially Donald Trump.
The process of installing US Attorneys, America’s top prosecutors, is being crippled by a century-old Senate “bogus process” called the “blue slip.” This tradition allows two senators to “protect their power to hand select the prosecutor who could prosecute them,” Davis explains. It’s nothing more than a swamp rule used by Republicans “afraid to get rid of their power,” which cripples the executive branch’s ability to hold Democrat lawfare accountable.
Finally, the fight to secure our elections is being stonewalled by the same forces protecting their power. The SAVE Act would require “proof of citizenship in order to register to vote and vote,” a common sense measure that would stop the “thousands and thousands of illegal voters on our roles and we know that they’re voting,” Davis reveals.
This entire mess—the blue slip issue, election integrity, and even the threat of judicial packing—all points to one solution the establishment fears: getting rid of the legislative filibuster. Davis calls Republicans “stupid” for not seizing the opportunity now, as the Democrats will “get rid of the filibuster the second they control the House, the Senate, and the White House again.”
Conservatives must fight like we are under attack, because we are. Don’t miss this crucial conversation to understand the legal battles that will shape America’s future!
