I thought it would be 7-2, but I'll take 6-3.
I didn't expect Gorsuch to sell out Native Americans. I guess he has a price point too. Maybe he trusted that a right wing MAGA government would not go after NAs on account of there not being any other land that they may be deported to. Poor, naive thing. People like him have no idea about the nature of people they're siding with.
I'd been holding back and trying to stay away from overtly expressing my opinions in public since Trump II took over because if for some reason (and I always psych myself the worst in politics -- partly personality trait, partly has to do with where I grew up) Trump's formulation had passed, my citizenship would have been stripped (I was born in the US to parents who were on a student visa). True, the ruling would not be made retroactive immediately, but it would be something that they can hold over people like Kamala Harris, Hasan Piker, me, and every other first generation citizen.
The ideology of "America not being a creed but a place with history" is the indicator of the "blood and soil" citizenship.
So yeah, I've been living with that tension for the past one and a half year. No more though. As of today, citizenship is my Supreme Court given right (until next time) to be as proud and obnoxious in my unadulterated, though not considered as extreme anymore, left wing views, and I can metaphorically scream them from rooftops until ICE metaphorically comes home. I am squarely, not vaguely, outside of their jurisdiction because I am conceptually, not merely technically, a citizen of this nation.
Take that, Proud Boys and III%er and Aryan Nation and every other white supremacist a-hole out there.
Back to the drawing board, Stephen Miller.
