I am pretty sure that Congress could pass a law barring dual-citizens from holding public office (and offices of foreign countries, i.e. the Pope) until they revoke their citizenships to have only one allegiance. I don’t see why it would have to be an amendment. They could also bar naturalization without revocation.
The entire lower court system is not required by the Constitution. The Constitution only says that Congress has the power to create and regulate the inferior courts (i.e., federal courts below the Supreme Court). In theory, Congress could eliminate all district courts and courts of appeals tomorrow. So they can likely require judicial nominations to not be dual-citizens. Problem is, you likely can't retroactively effect that because federal judges have life tenure.

I'm curious what the judges said at the sentencing hearings. These are very lengthy sentences. In federal court, sentences are done pursuant to the Sentencing Guidelines, and there's a sentencing table laying this out:

The X axis is based on prior criminal history. The Y axis is based on how bad the offense was, with points added/subtracted based on the circumstances (e.g., "add three points for attacking a law enforcement officer, subtract one point for being raised by abusive parents"). To get that many decades in a sentence, the offense levels must have been pretty high and/or they must have serious criminal backgrounds already. I've only ever really seen these types of sentences for terrorists who killed/almost killed people, people who actually run CSAM sites, mass murderers, etc.

I hope it lasts, but I worry that convictions like this will suffer from the same politicization that helped them succeed in the first place.

Since the charges are federal all it would take is for a Democrat with any level of sympathy towards their foot soldiers, to get back in office and pardon them over some miscarriage of justice "antifa is an idea" bullshit.
It's not like these people are principled, so why would they give a fuck about attempted murder when "The process wasn't followed to properly charge and punish these individuals".
 
He only did that because dan blizran or whatever that retard's name is has tri citizenship.

I'm just playing before you take me seriously, I just wish it had some chance of passing, but it doesn't. Massie used to do all these virtue signaling bills that had zero chance of passing. Randy Fine pushing for this is objectively good.
No, he proposed the bill in 2025, way before Balzerian.

Rubio/Miller 2028. Let's go all the way.

I don't know how I feel about Rubio as President or VP, but Stephen Miller could easily become the first Jewish president. He's been around since forever and he has a lot of favors he could call in.
 
I don’t get why people are talking the way they are about the antifa convictions. This isn’t setting some precedent to criminalize antifa membership or reify it against the claim that it’s “just an idea”. They fucking used guns in an ambush on law enforcement. If they can’t secure that conviction then being antifa clearly protects you from consequence, but this does nothing to convince me that consequences are being applied to mere membership or smaller scale disruption.

Also “combined sentences” is a meaningless metric for dents who clap at big numbers.

Put the burger suit on.

Seriously did you think there was a chance these guys wouldn’t get convicted? How about this, if a democrat gets in next time and pardons any of these fags, burger suit for life.

If a republican does it, I’ll see you over on the self sufficiency board…
