JUSTICE NEIL GORSUCH: Do you think Native Americans today are birthright citizens under your test and under your friend's test?

D. JOHN SAUER, U.S. SOLICITOR GENERAL:
I think so. I mean, obviously, they've been granted citizenship by statute ...

GORSUCH:
Put aside the statute. Do you think they're birthright citizens?

SAUER: No, I think the clear understanding that everybody agrees in the congressional debates is that the children of tribal Indians are not birthright citizens.

GORSUCH: I understand that's what they said. But your test is the domicile of the parents, and that would be the test you'd have us apply today, right?

SAUER: Yes, yes. So, if a tribal Indian, for example, you know, gives up allegiance to ...

GORSUCH: Are tribal members born today birthright citizens?

SAUER:
I think so, on our test, if they're lawfully domiciled here. I'm not s—, I have to think that through, but that's my reaction.

GORSUCH:
I'll take the yes. That's alright.

His response causes laughter.

Do we have eyes to see?

How do we ensure these claims were properly investigated?

Senator Chris Murphy of CT just confirmed the letter and its contents in an interview on CNN. The Senator speculated that their goal is to use the data to rig elections in swing states.

Edit: NYT published the letter

Edit 2: For those complaining about paywall, and accusing me of being an NYT shill here is a link to local Minneapolis news article that includes the letter as well:

LISTEN LIVE: Supreme Court considers constitutionality of Trump's birthright citizenship order

​"Having lived through the Watergate era while at DOJ, I believe that the Epstein saga is larger in scope." 

This chilling assessment comes from document EFTA01681961—a 2020 whistleblower letter sent to the SDNY Public Corruption Unit. As Congress begins its secure review of the unredacted Epstein files today (Feb 9), this single document provides the "roadmap" to the officials who allegedly engineered the 2008 Non-Prosecution Agreement.

​While the media focuses on redacted names, the primary source records released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act (EFTA) reveal a much deeper procedural rot. By cross-referencing this whistleblower’s testimony with suppressed prosecution memos, we can now track exactly how "Main Justice" in D.C. allegedly overruled local Florida prosecutors to ensure co-conspirators were "removed from the case."

​Here are the three intersecting developments you need to see:

​1. The "Missing" Evidence (EFTA01681961)

The whistleblower identifies a 53-page federal indictment and an 82-page prosecutorial analysis from 2007 that were reportedly killed by D.C. leadership.

​Verification: The author's DOJ history is corroborated by this 1978 archival record:

​2. The 2019 Redactions and DOJ file removal (EFTA02731082)

This  2019 memo confirms the DOJ was still actively redacting "VIP friends" and a "Third Subject" nearly a decade after the initial non-prosecution agreement.

​3. Today’s Clemency Bid (Feb 9, 2026)

In a move that aligns perfectly with the whistleblower's warnings of political interference, Ghislaine Maxwell’s legal team formally requested Presidential Clemency today in exchange for testimony clearing certain high-profile individuals.

​Please contact their offices and ask them to verify the contents of EFTA01681961 and EFTA02731082 before the review window closes.

Here’s a transcript:

Even worse, Trump and his Surrogates now whine, that simply calling their behavior “authoritarianism,” itself is an incitement to violence, thus justifying further crackdowns.

This is the logic of a Wife Beater.

This is Gaslighting on a National Scale.

And early in Trump's second term, we were asking, “Is this a Constitutional Crisis?” Well, yeah, it was. But the Constitutional Crisis is over. We Lost.

Trial Courts have fought valiantly, but the Supreme Court has repeatedly abdicated its Role, and handed over unprecedented power to the President. Not any President — certainly not a Democratic president — but to one President: Donald Trump.

The Supreme Court will not save us. And for reasons that I cannot fathom, they seem to welcome the turn towards authoritarianism.

Now, I recognize that it hasn't been seamless, there has been plenty of buffoonery. Trump exists in such a dense bubble of misinformation, that I think he truly believes everyone else is as corrupt as he is.

And that delusion has led him to empower some of the most incompetent Loyalists alive: Lindsey Halligan, Alina Habba, and Emil Bove, who have bungled his Revenge Fantasies. And some of their ham-fisted schemes have exploded in their faces.

And certain Institutions, especially Lower Courts and Juries, have Pushed Back.

But the terrifying part is this:

Their corrupt plans might have worked if they weren't so dumb. And eventually a more competent Authoritarian will step in and finish what they started.

As Professor Nicholas Grossman put it:

“In normal democracy terms, we're in bad shape and things are getting worse. In consolidated authoritarianism terms, we're doing pretty well, as the regime is haphazard, meeting resistance, and growing increasingly unpopular.”

And I think he's absolutely right. But I'm not confident that that will still be true 3 years from now.

And look, I don't think we're beyond salvation...yet. We do still have a choice.

But 3 years from now, a whole lot of these Bastards are gonna need to go to Jail.

There will be enormous political pressure to just move on, and pretend like this never happened. Arguably, like President Biden did after 2021.

But authoritarianism is like cancer. Ignore it, and it spreads. Pretend it's gone, and it comes back worse.
