So the would-be autocrat says "we're going to end" birthright citizenship. I don't think he knows or cares that it's in the Constitution (Amendment XIV). I want to say there's no way he could get a Constitutional Amendment through. But that's us, Americans who believe in the rule of law and playing by the rules, who can't hope to amend the Constitution, with the anti-democratic procedural hurdles in place. Can MAGA? I guess only time will tell... I suppose the alternative is that they will simply impose their will by fiat, and the era of the Constitution as supreme law will effectively be ended. Is that possible? I honestly don't know. And that's absolutely terrifying.
