Unwed fathers have the same rights as unwed mothers

Posted by AlM on Thu Jun 22 09:10:25 2017

Luch should have something to say about this.

SCOTUS decision - rights of unwed mothers are reduced to match those of unwed fathers

TL;dr: The underlying issue in the rule cut down is that you know who the mother is, you're not so sure about the father. In the case of immigration, it makes a difference when a child is born outside the U.S. to a couple where only one is provably a citizen, therefore paternity can count as to whether the child is a U.S. citizen at birth.

Now the rules are to be equal.

Interestingly, this reflects on whether a child is Jewish or not if the mother or the father is not Jewish. Derived wisdom says that Jewishness passes from the mother in a distinctly patriarchal religion. More rudely, it says that you don't know who the shiksa has been sleeping with. With DNA testing this should no longer be an issue.

I should have mentioned that this is an unmarried couple who have a child overseas but only one is an American citizen.

Ms. Greenhouses other articles:

What the Judges Know About Trump

The president’s near-constant expression of disdain for courts is having an effect on judges, and not the one he presumably intends. They are alarmed.


A Warning on Trump’s Religious Liberty Order

A presidential order on religious liberty didn’t seem to live up to its scary advanced billing. But that’s only if you weren’t paying close attention.


Election Wars at the Supreme Court

Struggles over Congressional redistricting and campaign finance are about power — who has it, who gets to keep it. Expect more.


The Empty Supreme Court Confirmation Hearing

Judge Neil Gorsuch was the least forthcoming court nominee ever.

******************

I wonder if she was alarmed when Obama was the first sitting president to point out, politicize, and threaten the court in public.

And it's the NYTIMES! ROFL.

I'll read the long boring opinion on my own. I don't think we should be getting our information from such a fakenews link.

You can thank me for this most awesome link
