Description

The Supreme Court recently reaffirmed the constitutional guarantee of birthright citizenship in a 6-3 ruling, but John Leguizamo is wondering: How was this not a clean sweep? Leguizamo examines the right-wing freakout over the court's decision, from xenophobic fever dreams about pregnant foreigners invading the U.S. to boilerplate conspiracy theories about election plots, in another edition of In My Opinion. #DailyShow #JohnLeguizamo #BirthrightCitizenship #14thAmendment Subscribe to The Daily Show: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwWhs_6x42TyRM4Wstoq8HA/?sub_confirmation=1 Follow The Daily Show: Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheDailyShow Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedailyshow Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedailyshow Stream full episodes of The Daily Show on Paramount+: http://www.paramountplus.com/thedailyshow Follow Comedy Central: Twitter: https://twitter.com/ComedyCentral Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ComedyCentral Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/comedycentral About The Daily Show: Jon Stewart and The Best F**king News Team host The Daily Show, an Emmy and Peabody Award-winning program analyzing the biggest stories in news, politics, and culture through a sharp, satirical lens.

Crazy to think that a person who is American because they were born in America could declare another person born in America not American

Even from a procedural aspect, it should have been 9-0 because the three who voted to end birthright citizenship were saying that an EXECUTIVE ORDER can overturn the Constitution. Their dissent was, in and of itself, UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
