Trump Is Right About Birth Citizenship

  1. A contributing factor to climate change. Every time a Right Winger expresses an opinion, or even an alleged fact, the sea level rises a smidgen.

  2. So perhaps the EPA should also control political speech. After all, we're talking about saving the planet from certain doom here.

    Every time a liberal opens their mouth and emits hot air... Part of the polar ice caps melt.

  5. You're getting the sequence wrong, which is something jem excels at. A liberal opens his mouth in response to the hot air comment from the conservative. If anything, the cold logic of a liberal is a somewhat offsetting factor. Unfortunately, the heat generated by Right Wing commentary is overwhelming. :D

    Now Obama, born in Kenya, but to an American mother, would be a US citizen under a proper interpretation of the 14th... ? But, if born in Hawaii to a Kenyan father, hmm, what does Kenyan law say about that?
    :D

    Who cares?

    The constitution says the president has to be a natural born citizen.

    the one time I don't argue with you... because you are actually making a fact based argument and referring to the source and not some fringe character's interpretation....and you still bring me into this. wtf?

    So let me strighten you out.

    1. you are correct illegal aliens should be kept out by those who are sworn to faithfully execute their duties and follow the constitution.

    2. While I admire your straight reading of the constitution your side has taught us that judges don't stop at the plain meaning of statutes. So it is obviously not the end of the argument.
    If the constitution is a living changing document it alive for both sides and it will cut against the those not in power... slicing out left and right protections until we have a Rollerball type state run by corporations and cronies.

    So in short, now more than ever, the 14th amendment affirms nothing until the justices on the court tell you what they think it says.
