pardoned or sentence-commuted 1,500 fanatical and in-part violent loyalists who attempted to overthrow a U.S. government; labeled peaceful protesters of his government "insurrectionists"; called the First Amendment's free press an "enemy of the people"; sought the delegitimization of the federal judiciary that rules against him in accord with constitutional law; converted the White House into an indefatigable falsehoods factory ... What's obvious beyond question is that the 1868 Fourteenth Amendment's wording, "All persons born ... in the United States ... are citizens of the United States," emerged from the 1866 Civil Rights Act, passed emphatically over President Andrew Johnson's veto: "all persons born in the United States and not subject to any foreign power ... are hereby declared to be citizens of the United States." Except for the misfortunate, jurisdictionally selected victims of the Court's cruel, unfathomable 6-3 Friday decision to limit federal magistrates' power to issue nationwide injunctions against tyrannous orders — even though such orders affect nationwide unconstitutionalities of unmistakable clarity — the ruling was an insignificance relative to the much bigger, far grimmer picture of the altogether ghastly authoritarian state before us.
