    They are there to interpret the law. The plan isn’t to remove or challenge it, but to change its meaning into however they want. There is no -lawful- means of removing them from power.

      Again the constitution isn’t law, but laws are required to adhere to as close to the constitution as possible, and those changes cannot be made by Judges

        They literally can. I don’t know if you’re just ignorant, but the supreme court has the authority to interpret the constitution and decide what it “really” means. If they decide that the 14th only applies to people exclusively under US jurisdiction (like they’ve indicated is the plan) then that’s the way it is. It doesn’t matter how shitty or blatantly wrong their argument is. It only matters what they decide, and whatever they decide becomes de jure fact. There’s no legal method to counter it.
