Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson famously observed that “The Constitution is not a suicide pact.” With yesterday’s ruling concerning so-called “birthright citizenship,” a majority of his successors on today’s Court decided that it actually is.

They declared the 14th Amendment makes absolutely everyone born here a citizen. They did so knowing that’s a formula for more illegal immigration to create “anchor babies,” giving extended families a foot in our nation’s proverbial “door.” 

Worse yet, Peter Schweizer’s excellent book, Invisible Coup, put the Supremes on notice that Chinese men are exploiting the 14th Amendment to spawn perhaps as many as a million children birthed here by American women, but then removed, raised and indoctrinated entirely in China. They will have the vote upon turning 18, and unlimited access to this country before and after. 

What could possibly go wrong? National suicide.
