Online conservatives declare war on SCOTUS judge and her adopted children in aftermath of birthright citizenship ruling

And we are again at the time of year which finds the LGBTQ community tired, weary, battered and bruised but still standing. It is the end of yet another Pride month combined with the end of another Supreme Court term.

The Pride Month celebrations are wonderful as always. It's the SCOTUS term which is a problem. Maybe it's just me but it seems that in recent years, the Supreme Court has always managed to put a case on its docket which ends up with us losing. And it generally happens around the end of Pride month like a sort of "gift" they bequeath to our community. This year's "present" has to do with another loss for trans athletes.  I won't even bother to go over it, so feel free to read it here.

The irony of my above monologue is that I am going veer into another case. It's the biggest case on SCOTUS's docket this year and it turned out to be a huge loss for the Trump Administration.

From People Magazine:

The Supreme Court delivered an enormous blow to President Donald Trump's anti-immigrant agenda on Tuesday, June 30, ruling to uphold the longstanding definition of birthright citizenship. The landmark Trump v. Barbara case was among the largest tests of Trump's executive power and his aggressive immigration reform, putting into question a constitutional provision long accepted as a bedrock principle by courts, lawmakers and presidents.  

Barring few exceptions, every child born on U.S. soil for more than a century was automatically granted U.S. citizenship, allowing them access to Social Security numbers, passports and other benefits of being a citizen of the country. 

 In its final decision of the court term, SCOTUS sided 6-3 against Trump's attempt to change that practice. Conservative Chief Justice John Roberts delivered the opinion of the court, earning the support of Trump-appointed Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh, as well as all three liberal justices: Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson. Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch, who have consistently sided with Trump in their rulings, dissented. 

Conservatives across the nation, especially on social media, are having an orgy of angry hysteria; from predictions about a new civil war to handwringing about "anchor babies" and "stolen elections.

But probably much of their venom has been direct towards Justice Amy Coney Barrett. Vulgar comments on Twitter (X) claim that she was either too emotional about the issue or compromised because she is the adoptive mother of two children from Haiti.

To conservatives blindly lashing out at anything after this loss, Barrett's adoption of two Haitian children has become the touchstone of their rage.  The fact that she was appointed by Trump and ruled in his favor on numerous occasions (as well as being one of the votes which overturned Roe v Wade) is irrelevant to the conservatives engaging in the "what have you done for us lately/fuck them kids" two-step dance against Barrett.
