Controversial Proposals by Sean Davis Following Supreme Court Ruling on Birthright Citizenship

Backlash Over Davis's Suggestions

Sean Davis, the CEO of The Federalist and a notable ally of former President Donald Trump, has ignited controversy with his recent proposals in response to the Supreme Court's decision against Trump's attempt to abolish birthright citizenship. Following the court's 6-3 ruling, Davis took to social media to express his discontent with Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett, accusing them of altering the Constitution.

In light of the ruling, Trump has called on Congress to legislate an end to birthright citizenship, but Davis has suggested even more extreme measures.

Davis's Seven-Point Strategy

Davis presented what he termed a "seven-point plan" outlining various potential actions. His initial recommendation urged states to cease issuing birth certificates to children of non-citizens, advocating for individual court assessments for each case. He also proposed expanding the Supreme Court, arguing that if justices are behaving like legislators, they should be held accountable by having more justices on the bench.

The most contentious aspects of his plan included a call to prohibit entry to all pregnant foreign nationals, followed by a blanket ban on all female foreigners. Furthermore, he suggested that all foreign visitors should undergo sterilization before being allowed entry. In a drastic move, he even mentioned the "dissolution of the Union," asserting that a nation unable to control its citizenship is not a true nation. His final suggestion was to amend the Constitution.

Davis concluded by stating that these proposals reflect the consequences of "unelected judges" taking control of the nation's laws. His statements quickly attracted criticism from various political commentators and journalists. Former attorney and columnist David French labeled the proposals as "absolute BONKERS," expressing disbelief that a long-standing constitutional principle could be blamed for the nation's issues. Political journalist Isaac Saul described Davis's remarks as "totally unhinged," highlighting that conservatives already dominate the White House, House, Senate, and Supreme Court.

Previously, Davis had testified before the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation regarding free speech and censorship, where he admitted that his social media presence is often "opinionated and provocative."
