Actually, Rex is mostly right. If someone had a few novelty coins and the price went up x10 early on, they probably would have sold then and not waited until today's records. You don't know what the high before the crash is, or if the high is a new low. And if you invested a "measly" 1k, getting 10k in return would make most people sell way back then.

What I'm saying is that the stories of people getting rid of their coins when they weren't worth much and getting responses like "had you held you'd be worth 20m, idiot!" don't account for the fact that most people would have sold much, much earlier.

Ah yes, the 'old baseball cards' trope. Just give the past-posters you run across a good swirlie and move on.

Seems unlikely that they'd drop a story of all 20 at once. Each one probably requires quite a bit of due diligence, they'd most likely do it one at a time, no?

No, I forget which one, I think its one of the slavery amendments, but one of the amendments pretty firmly establishes birthright citizenship.

No, you're right. It only defines natural born citizenship in relation to the presidency. Everything else is just a law.

ending birthright citizenship would require

A) Constitutional amendment, lol no
or B) an unusually insane Supreme Court, and no, Team Nothing Matters, we're not even REMOTELY there yet, it gets maybe two votes

last time "under the jurisdiction of [the United States'] laws" came up it went 9-0 for "unauthorized immigrants are under the jurisdiction, never mind actual factual authorized immigrants"

The courts get rather strict and heated about the government trying to deny or curtail citizenship. There was a case earlier this year where the supreme court's conservatives rebuked Trump's lawyers more harshly than just about any other case, and it was over just permanent residence, never mind citizenship.

It was the Fourteenth, aka Literally The GOP's Least Favorite Amendment Except Maybe The Income Tax One.

quote:

Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

The jurisdiction part is generally and very reliably held to only exclude:

- Active service foreign military parents
- Active service foreign diplomacy parents
- Related weird corner cases like being born on a foreign-flagged hospital ship in US territorial waters

like, I wouldn't recommend, as an unauthorized immigrant, giving birth on a Native American reservation, but other than that
