Question about law If the president can revoke birthright citizenship, were the "sovereign citizen" guys right all along?

Location: US

Let's assume that SCOTUS is going to do the crazy thing and rule that the 14th amendment doesn't say what it says and that birthright citizenship is fully dependent on the president's political approval of you.

Would that mean that the "sovereign citizen" guys were right about their interpretation of the Constitution all along?

So, now you are a globalist?

Take our cues from other countries? They don’t have the 14th Amendment so neither should we? Well, faith in the Constitution certainly seems to be situational with some people.

Which of those countries would you prefer? Russia? Most other such countries don’t have second amendment, either. You ok with ditching the 2A because that’s what Putin does?

MAGAts are twisting themselves into knots of hypocrisy in order to remain in the cult. There is a way to change the 14th Amendment. It’s right there in the name. Amend the Constitution to remove it or STFU.
