Any careful reader of this blog might have noticed you would never, not even once, find the word "President" in a certain sentence. And that certain sentence was any one which also contained the name "Biden", where one word would precede the other.

"They'll have to burn this suit. They'll never get the shit stains out of it." |
And if you notice even now, you still haven't. That was not a four-year coincidence.
We still lament that President Trump had to win three elections to get sworn in twice, but we console ourselves that in his case, late is better than never.
And one of the EOs yesterday eliminated the nearly century-old misinterpretation that allowed anchor babies to become a thing?!? We almost had a stroke from sheer, unrestrained elation at common sense breaking out, and someone finally noticing the words "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof" sitting there in plain sight in the 14th Amendment for 150 years, almost as if the authors of that bit of Constitutional law hadn't ever intended, not even accidentally, for the offspring of foreign nationals - who are by definition, not subject to U.S. jurisdiction, ever - to earn birthright citizenship for their issue just by the accident of geography when their non-U.S. citizen parents plopped out wombspawn on U.S. territory. That will be quite a blow to the taxi business in Tijuana and Nuevo Laredo.
It's almost like adult supervision and bog-common sense has finally been restored to the Oval Office, seconds after the oath of office was administered.
It's about damned time.

I would like your opinion on the piece by Ann Coulter in Human Events from 8/10/10 regarding the origins of current policy in a Justice Brennan footnote in Plyler vs Doe?
All I have to say about that is WTF?!
Maybe it was better to have the 4 years between Trump and the Left. Far easier for U.S. citizens to see the differences in how the country is run and the people making the laws. And how the policies of the Left hurt us rather than help.
I am SO GLAD we rid ourselves of a Left leaning POTUS. Imagine having Kamala Harris being sworn in three days ago.
What our country needs is for the "bog-common sense" you note has been restored to the Oval Office to spread like the CA wildfires throughout all levels of government if America is to be restored to some semblance of the great republic America once was prior to the rise of democratic socialism under the guise of democracy.
Thank the Lord! If Trump's first 2 days are any indication of the next 4 years, a lot of damage will be undone to a great degree!
...and the law suits against that 14th Amendment EO dropped about a minute later. This is going to be fun. Instead of trying this one in the lower courts and proceeding through the usual jurisprudence travel, they should just bring it to the Supreme Court. Nothing on this subject will be decided until the SJC weighs in and no matter what, this one's a crap shoot, IMHO.

The Supreme Court Jesters can't be counted on to make the correct decision.
Are you still blogging somewhere or have you retired?
Thanks Aesop. Like your comments at Bayou… From Canada your descriptions seem telegenic but I do realize it’s your reality. We could use your help in Vancouver!
@Anon 2:34 P.M. - No longer blogging. Only occasionally commenting at very few sites. Aesop is a daily visit, though.
Here's piece by some credible law scholar on why the 14th does not confer citizenship automatically: https://americanmind.org/salvo/birthright-citizenship-game-on/
