But, citizenship, like the Betsy Ross flag, is plain racist.
What does make the decision surprising and yeah, maybe even a bad one, is that the law probably doesn't require the Administration to provide a justification. I mean, I thought this was going 7 to 2 for Team Trump. It really seems like Roberts' sensibilities of respect for the courts was offended by Ross/Trump/DOJ being so contemptuous of the process to spit blatant lies at him that he ruled against them.
I have no idea of what Roberts is thinking. Does he actually think that there's no reason DOJ can't think of a better justification and he'll approve of it this time? That seems ludicrous. He's already (essentially) declared that they were lying about their motivations. Each version of "the truth" can't possibly be taken in a vacuum.

Her win in the primary was a product of a lot of hard work among the grassroots. It was made possible by the fact that Crowley was very much out of touch with what his district wanted. If you don't put the work to maintain contact with your district for a long time don't be surprised by an upstart takes you out in a primary.

Here's a story you'll like, if you haven't already heard about it. It pits the Marxist Left against the Gentry Prog Left.
Basically back in the 30's a Russian immigrant who was also a communist painted a series of murals in a San Fran high school which depicted George Washington as a slaveholder and killer of Indians. The San Fran school board voted unanimously to destroy or cover up the murals, not because they are anti-American, but because the students are triggered by seeing minorities in a position of weakness.
The school board should keep its hands off the mural, because we cannot learn about our nation's history of cruelty and oppression if we destroy depictions of it

I'm trying to figure out which part of that flag indicates slavery. The 13 red and white stripes indicating the original 13 slave-owning colonies, or the 13 stars indicating the same? If its both, do we design a new flag? Maybe we should consult Colin Kaepernick here, so we can be sure we get things right ...."in order to lead America you must love America"
