Barrett’s view on the 14th amendment (and why I don’t think just threats to expand the court will work, and that it will have to be done):

Ok, when I was in law school way back in the 1980s, there was no discussion about the 14th Amendment being illegitimate. I would be completely gobsmacked but there are so many Constitutional norms that have been violated since January 20, 2017 that I should not be surprised.

The 14th Amendment grants citizenship to people who didn’t have it. Saying it’s illegitimate calls into question the citizenship of millions of people. This smells like Miller at work.
