THIS bitch, ugh I remember her Seems like she filed a writ for certiorari (also called a cert), the fancy name for an official request for SCOTUS to take a look at a specific issue. The Supreme Court gets THOUSANDS of these a year and only grants a minuscule number of them to take up as an official case on their docket. So it would be a long shot for *any* cert to get taken up. But uh, can't predict anything with this Court. Esp when it comes to gay rights and the rights of minority classes
Wow. Just wow. If the Supreme Court takes this case, I’m going to be pissed. This shouldn’t be up for debate at all. Gay marriage is hurting NO ONE and allowing it isn’t an affront to your rights. Saying you won’t issue a marriage license THAT IS YOUR JOB TO DO because your religion says you can have homosexual sex, is like saying you as a cashier won’t sell someone alcohol because your religion says you can’t drink. ITS LITERALLY NOT ABOUT YOU
Look up your ancestry. Get documents proving your family lineage. Depending on your state it’s open knowledge or a walk in to a vital statistic department. Now is the time to get your birth certificates, passports, real IDs, etc. Over the past decade multiple countries have revised their citizenship by descent laws. I did this during his first term and I’m a dual national now.
I’m not going to dox myself by saying country, but I’m adopted and my biological mother was born in another country so I’m first generation. I qualified for <mom’s home country> citizenship by descent. All I needed was certified copies of my birth certificate and IDs, adoption paperwork, and my mom’s birth certificate. Of course country varies on laws for qualifications but luckily mines just needed proof of lineage and I got approved to apply for a passport.
I’m 100% sure I’m not adopted though so I won’t have any bonus ancestries I don’t already know about. I know my ancestry back over 200 years on some branches but most countries only count great grandparents if they do by descent at all. It is definitely not as easy as looking up your ancestry and just applying for a new passport. Like the other person said, if you’re not healthy and skilled, they don’t want you
You all really do not like to research into things… unless you’re Native American you come from somewhere else. Use that to your advantage. I’m going to leave that at that because those reading these comments can see the writing on the wall and Google check the resources I provided
Most people living in the United States have been here for generations. Almost all countries that do citizenship by descent only care about great grandparents or closer. My grandpa is from another country and it doesn’t count. I have researched heavily but the vast majority of people do not have the privilege of having their literal birth mother being from another country and you’re completely overlooking the insanely privileged place you’re coming from.
You are coming from a place of extreme privilege and refuse to acknowledge it. Take a sec to come down from your high horse for once in your fucking life. Example: I’m Scots-Irish and can trace my lineage back to the Clans. I am NOT, however, eligible for citizenship for either country because the cutoff is great grandparents. I cannot explain to you that the vast majority of Americans are at LEAST third generation citizens. Your little “jUsT dO tHe ReSeArCh!¡!” doesn’t make a difference for us
