Holding
Matt Walsh's June 30, 2026 post responds to the Supreme Court's ruling upholding birthright citizenship — characterizing the ruling as a "farce," calling it "catastrophic" for the country, and dismissing the Court's logic as something "nobody actually believes." This post directly and explicitly opposes birthright citizenship and criticizes the Supreme Court for enshrining it through constitutional misinterpretation. Walsh's position is fully aligned with AFCS Constitutional Clarification No. 1, issued in response to the same ruling — the AFCS holds that the Fourteenth Amendment's citizenship clause does not apply to children of illegal aliens or temporary visitors and that the Roberts majority opinion misapplied the text by ignoring original intent.
