I attended this hearing. The Dems on the subcommittee were left speechless.

According to Ann Coulter, we have this abomination MISinterpretation of the 14th Amendment, thanks to a FOOTNOTE from Justice Brennan. So, history and the words from those who wrote the dang language of the 14th Amendment got tossed out, all because ONE liberal activist in a black robe decided to say otherwise. Ridiculous!

The ones that count are those that sit on the Judiciary Committee like Lamar Smith. If the GOP retakes the House then I expect legislation to pass there.

In the Senate it may or may not die but if it does it'll be an issue in 2012. So the open border clowns including Huckabee and Romney can forget about it.

US CONSTITUTION - Article I - Section 8
The Congress shall have power to:
establish a uniform rule of naturalization, and uniform laws on the subject of bankruptcies throughout the United States.
-
Amendment 14 - Section 5
The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.


As I understand this and other commentary I have read,
congress can simply define citizenship as they may seem fit.
No constitutional amendment is needed; just a congressional bill.

Imagine the bite we could take out of the ‘RATS favorite issue, POVERTY, if we got rid of the Copulating for Citizenship Amendment.

It does not require a constitutional amendment to withhold citizenship from children born in the United States of illegal alien parents. Their parents are not "subject to the jurisdiction" of the United States and they seek citizenship for their children without the consent of the nation. It defies logic to insist that an illegal act on the part of parents can confer the boon of citizenship upon their children. The nation has specified the terms of its consent in the uniform rules for naturalization and laws governing immigration.

Amen.

When it comes to tribalism, all religions are tribes calling for members to follow party lines.

In that sense, using a “tribal” exemption argument is ridiculous.

Weather or not the 14th amendment rewards citizenship to the children if illegal aliens. The 14th amendment HAS been used to legalizes the abortion of 40 million babes. Just as the 14th amendment HAS been used to rob us of our right to the definition of Marriage.

Indeed the 14th amendment has already been used to to rob us of countless other rights ranging from “Affirmative action” to incorporation.

The 14th Amendment needs to be repealed, and if it can’t be repealed politically we should look into dissolving the union. No free people should tolerate this abusive(as it has been used) amendment.

This is why I propose the simple Constitutional amendment:

{
Section 1:
The Fourteenth article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is hereby repealed.
Section 2:
No Government in the United States shall in anyway discriminate on the account of race.
}


Indeed the 14th Amendment should never have been accepted as having been radiated in the first place given 11 of the ratifying states did so only under the gun with the explicit understanding that they would not be free unless they did sign away their rights with this amendment to the tyrannical federal government.

There are a handful of RINOs hiding behind the 14th to dodge the immigration issue. I heard McCain utter this nonsense today.
