Mark’s interview with Professor Edward Erler, Senior Fellow for the
Claremont Institute, on the 14th amendment last night was fascinating.
Check it out, first segment first hour.

Unfortunately, it would take only one case to get to the Supreme Court to get a ruling that says all anchor babies are citizens, with Alito, Scalia and Thomas dissenting.
I think that in normal times, Levin is correct. But with the current Supreme Court, if this question gets to them, SHAZAM! Charter boats loaded with pregnant women with Ports of Call in every American port until them kid is whelped. Then amnesty for all.
Congress needs to pass a law that says those babies boorn to illegals on American soil are NOT American citizens, but a citizen of the country of their parents.
Congress has the right under the Constitution to make such laws regarding naturalization. Congress also has the right to bar any court from changing or challenging the law.
That’s is all they have to do.
Then, even if a case goes to a federal court on up to the Supreme Court, they are barred from ruling on it. Period.
It is time to put the Federal courts, including the Supreme Court , back into their box.
Otherwise we can have five justices making ALL our laws.
And that is truly unconstitutional.
Pertaining to the 14th Amendment, the historical evidence is clear that the purpose of this Amendment, and the intent of Congress, was t give freed slave American citizenship.
Even Indians of that era were not granted American citizenship at that time—that would not happen until 1924.
A footnote by William O. douglas in 1982 in a majority opinion is not sufficient to confer citizenship on anyone.
That is solely the duty and right of Congress under the Constitution.
Time to stand up for the truth and hang the Left on its own petard.
BUMP BUMP
Michael Medved was saying, on Monday, that the 14th amendment insures their citizenship. He was also saying it as though you are an incompetent boob if you disagree with him.
I’m getting so tired of the GOPe shills. I used to really like him. I guess I outgrew him.
Bttt
So if it’s a matter of political allegiance to the U.S. then is it Levin’s contention that children born in the U.S. of non-citizen parents are not and have never been citizens?
Not so long ago in 2011, Cruz said this:
“The Constitution protects birthright citizenship for illegals and it’s a mistake for conservatives to spend time fighting it”
