So they want the constitution declared unconstitutional? That tracks

"Certainly hope the Supreme Court will overturn Amendment 14." -Republican Speaker of the House of Alabama, Nathaniel Ledbetter. 14A grants citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the US and guarantees all citizens "equal protection of the laws" and "due process".

When ICE stops an innocent brown person and beats the crap out of them, it is called a Kavanaugh stop, in honor of Justice Blackout. What's a good term to honor the Chief Justice Notional Ump for the gerrymandering mess he has unleashed?

The clan slithered out from underneath the rocks because Trump gave them the ok to come out. America has always been a racist country. Started when they came over on the Mayflower and stole indigenous lands.

They are on a roll. Once they get done rolling and they ended up on the other side, it’s gonna bite them in the ass.

Cosmic Breeze 🫘13

Then after that they'll be coming for the 19th amendment.

Dr. John Francis12

Alabama .. we're worse than Florida

Erin (Bluesky Version) 🏳️‍🌈10

They’re not even trying to hide the racism anymore.

Eryn Wyld8

It feels like things are falling apart with increasing speed.

So a court can declare a constitutional amendment unconstitutional? This is traitor speak

David Åman (pronounced O-man)7

They’ve been calling for it since it was passed

Christian "Birdy"7

Was watching Gone With the Wind the other day and Rhett was saying that the North will win the war as they have factories, ships, ports, and what does the south have? Cotton, slaves, and arrogance. The biggest thorn in America's side since the beginning is the Confederacy.

SaukFish7

We really shouldn’t be giving Samuel Alito or John Roberts any ideas here.

Tim Lowe5

The Confederate holdovers in the #GOP have taken the mask off. What will the placeholders, in the Dem Caucus leadership do?

Auld Black Jack5

Next: "Southers GOP call on courts to overturn Lee's surrender at Appomattox"

It was precisely because of this attitude in Alabama and elsewhere that the 14th Amevndment was added to our Constitution. We will not rescind it.

65yearcitizen5

We have actually reached the tipping point. Wake up America we are here!

inkenheimer4

Will they just fucking secede already?

Clios Fan Boy🗽🇺🇸 🇺🇦 🇹🇼 🇨🇦 🇬🇱4

The republican party is basically what you'd get if you crossed the Klan with the Mafia at this point.

I read a book once called "The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August" that opens with a character telling another that the end of the world is speeding up, and they don't know how to stop it.* This feels a lot like that. Nothing seems to be stopping the slide. *by Claire North

Trump violated section three and his oath of office it instant he took the oath of office a second time. He could have petitioned to have the disability removed but did not. The party promoted a candidate ineligible -- wire fraud & addition insurrection constitution.congress.gov/constitution...

maraleia4

These fucking racist pieces of shit Confederate assholes.

rbsnst.bsky.social3

The southern racists are coming out of the closet

Missy and Tilly Corgi3

FFS and Roberts would probably do it

taxman86.bsky.social3

What’s his name?? Always identify them. His name is Nathaniel Ledbetter. He’s the grand wizard

P.D.W.3

I mean, I’m no lawyer, but can a court invalidate an entire amendment? Wouldn’t it have to be repealed via another amendment?

MichNz3

GEEZUSCRIPESALMIGHTY! I’m so sick of these Neanderthals dragging us all backwards!!

saileesue.bsky.social2

I swear these MAGA RepubliKKKans ARE FULL OF SUCH HATE.

fresistl.bsky.social2

Time to divide into two nations.

Robert Fischoff2

Yep. Asking the SCROTUS Gang of Six to rule that the Constitution is unconstitutional. That’s exactly what they’re doing: ripping up the Constitution, bringing back segregation & destroying every last vestige of decency and Western Civilization. The Nazi Christian Republicans want to destroy it all.

sigreign2

This has always been the plan it pisses me off when I see those saying there's infighting when the other side has been planning the entire time and citizens United was able to make everyone's agenda match the Powell memo, completing fruition there are many like synema, manchin that aide that too.

unawarewolf.bsky.social2

The South never stopped fighting the civil war. There is no new South. Time is past due for accountability.

weedshouldbelegal.bsky.social2

I think a lot of people from other countries who vote in our elections don’t understand US history. They don’t realize brown/black people were openly discriminated against just 50 to 60 years ago. Violence against brown/black was common place, including late night hangings. Research KKK.

rmechler.bsky.social2

Coming soon: SCOTUS rules that the Constitution is unconstitutional. Except the 2nd Amendment (of course).

Diane in Ohio2

If a Democrat had said we should eliminate one of the constitutional amendments, Trump and Republicans would accuse them of treason and call for them to be arrested.

Special K2

We need to rid ourselves of the monstrous Confederacy once and for all. Break up the country. Enough of having that evil white supremacist appendage attached to America holding the majority of us back.

cad309.bsky.social23

We beat them once and we will beat them again. This is not over by a longshot.

Diane in Ohio21

If a Democrat said something like this, Republicans would be accusing them of treason and calling for them to be arrested.

Tiffany_Nagaty20

They're going for all the marbles. They're going to try and repeal the entire 20th century. That includes the 19th and finish dismantling FDRs New Deal.

CA-NC-GA Lady10

What must it take, psychically, to have hated to this degree for nearly 200 yrs. Hatred is learned. Racism is learned. Clearly the overwhelming mjty of the elected officials in the South, despite saying they are Christian, have never learned what love is. That love/care are verbs.

Not surprised in the least

🐈‍⬛ ChrisCat 🦋💙 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇩🇰🇪🇺🇬🇱🇦🇶🇺🇦✊🏻🐈‍⬛7

I want my state, WA, to secede, along with OR & CA. I don’t want to live in Gilead. Even if our 3 states maintain norms and multiplural government that preserves rights for all citizens, living in federation with states that don’t. Plus they want to make these policies national. Hell no. #Fascists

larry.earth (he/him)7

Burning the confederate flag at every possible opportunity.

♠️♥️Harley the Clown♣️♦️7

Nobody hates the constitution more than right wingers

BonHo5

The confederacy has risen; that's who is ruling America (or, pulling us around by our law-abiding attitudes). The only thing left is to replace the flag.

Any Doubts3

Ledbetter wants SCOTUS to remove or neutralize the 14th Amendment/Voting Rights legal obstacle to Alabama’s preferred congressional map. Can SCOTUS erase the 14th Amendment? No. Can SCOTUS weaken or reshape how it protects people in practice? Yes.

Deborah Phelps 🦖🗽🐸3

It appears the biggest mistake of the North after the Civil War was that they didn't put the traitorous rebels into a couple of states and throw them out of the United States.

Liberal Talking Points3

They're high on their own racist supply on striking amendments but it is another distraction to have to relitigate this.

LAWGVR2

The Civil War has never truly ended. It went cold for a time, but it did not completely end. Listen to the 🍊💩🤡 speak, when he says “they almost destroyed our country”. He’s talking about WHITE AMERIKKKA.

I’m Blue Da Ba Dee Da Da2

Let’s just hope the SC remembers their role is to determine whether laws are Constitutional and not to rewrite it, bc this guys surely doesn’t know that.

Sam Paine2

It's time to end the civil war, correctly and permanently.

Jason2

That would be grounds for impeachment.

Password is taco2

I’m not sure what’s worse- the fact that he wants to or the fact that he’s a lawmaker that doesn’t know SCOTUS can’t overturn constitutional amendments.

Heidi CanisLupusFamiliaris2

Was only a matter of time for them to (openly) start pushing MSGA.....🤬
