If you ask the blackpill crew, the birthright citizenship case that we lost last week — effectively 5-4 on the constitutional issue — was a catastrophe that has doomed us to the doomiest of dooms. That’s not true for a number of reasons that we’ve discussed before, including the fact that this remarkably close decision sets us up for success down the road. But there are also things that we can do starting now that aren’t necessarily foreclosed by the Supreme Court’s current interpretation of the Constitution. That’s where we need to focus our efforts, not on wailing and gnashing our teeth. We have new opportunities, and we need to take them, until we can finally put a stake in the heart of this undead doctrine.

Now, what’s going to happen with the decision itself? How are we going to change the view of the 14th Amendment citizenship clause that says that essentially any unwanted foreigner’s brat who pops out with a placenta on U.S. soil is a U.S. citizen just like you or me? Well, that’s going to take some time, some hard work, and some luck.

The most obvious way is to amend the Constitution. Good luck with that. It’s only happened 27 times in history, and 10 of them were right at the beginning when the Bill of Rights was part of the price of admission. It takes 2/3 of both houses of Congress and 3/4 of the states to approve an amendment. Yeah, that’s not happening. The fact is that Democrats like having illegal aliens drop anchor babies who they presume will end up voting Democrat down the road. Now, that may not be true — they thought Latinos were the Great White Replacement Hope, but they started supporting Trump as the Democrats shifted from a working-class and minority focus to a focus on failson trust-fund dorks and their Third World Palestinian-hugging Islamic invader pals who demonstrate a hatred of America, a love for Hamas, and a fetish for castrating kids. A constitutional amendment just isn’t going to happen.

No, the most obvious way to change the interpretation of the citizenship clause is to change the composition of the Court that interprets it. If one of the five justices goes away through retirement or........
