Chris,

Mark Levin had an interesting in depth look at the 14th Amendment on one of his Jan. 2025 weekend tv programs on FOX. There is a clause in the 14th Amendment ("and subject to the jurisdiction thereof") & a history to that clause that makes it questionable if it applies to illegal aliens. I had mixed "feeings" about it anyway before listening to Mark Levin, but there may well be a legal argument against birthright citizenship for illegal aliens.

Now I think there are "legal considerations" which the Supreme Court needs to evaluate. Perhaps that is what President Trump hoped for in the first place. Chris, I think watching Mark Levin's Jan. 2025 weekend tv program about it will give you another legal perspective, particularly if you are an "originalist" Constitutional supporter. I had no idea that it was trying to correct something--I had no

idea it was trying to make sure former slaves in the USA would have the right

to citizenship--a worthy cause indeed.

So the mayor unplugged Shotspotter because he said it was active in neighborhoods that were mostly minorities causing a disproportionate number of police response.

This mayor, a democrat appears to be against having the police protect all the citizens of the city.

In my opinion Shotspotter is a realtime community Police response. A good thing overall. Sounds like if this proactive tool was used in predominately White neighborhoods, the mayor would be outraged.

Let’s face it, the mayor is a regressive dysfunctional leader who has failed in his #1 mission, Public Safety.
