What they probably mean is they're trying to get a passport for their child and the passport office has told them that that's no problem at all. In fact, all they need is a copy of the child's birth certificate.

Just pack the goddamn court. There's ONE conservative justice on the Supreme Court who was appointed by a president who came to power having received more votes than his opponent, and that's Clarence Thomas, the man whose loyalties can be bought with a luxury vacation and whose wife aided and abetted insurrectionist traitors.
The ENTIRE conservative wing of the Supreme Court is illegitimate. Every single one of them. And you know what? Thanks to the GOP, it only takes 50 votes to approve a supreme court justice. It used to be sixty, but they changed the rules so they could more conveniently destroy America.
That's . . . not what cute means.
What does it mean when the highest court in your ostensible democracy is this obviously compromised?
I mean morally it's obvious. Their judgements are invalid. Useless. Feel free to ignore anything they say if you can get away with it. But unless we're down for anarchy, what means do we have to deal with this? Legally the president can pack the court. So long as he can get the senate to go along. But he doesn't seem to want to, and there are no viable alternatives to the president we have. Not yet, anyway.
So here we are. A 'democracy' with a supreme court that's openly compromised, if not outright corrupt. Nobody's running on a 'maybe the supreme court shouldn't be filled with 18th century ideologues and grifters' platform. Nobody's talking about upside down flags and RVs on the major networks.
So what do?
That's pretty much the ballgame, folks. Try to move somewhere where it's always cold and in a decade or two you may still be alive.
'Politically correct' is what people used to say when they got called out for being awful human beings before 'woke' was invented.
I imagine they'll have backtracked on this decision long before then.
I kind of assumed it was based on one of those 'how they photograph food' articles that pops up every so often with shaving cream instead of whip cream and motor oil instead of pancake syrup. Pretty sure I've seen one where they mix glue in the pizza cheese to make it more stringy.
Check out Strange New Worlds. It's the trekkiest of all the new new treks.
No way RB can stick with Perez much longer, right? He's been dreadful these last few months.
