Ryan’s mouth is flapping its lips but nothing worth hearing it coming out.

‘Nother fail.

The issue isn't whether it can be done by executive order. The issue is whether it can be legislated or requires a constitutional amendment. That is what the Supreme Court will ultimately decide. It all turns on what "subject to the jurisdiction [of the United States]" means.

That said, it's good political strategy to keep the issue hot. The caravan is bad for the 'Rats. Being seen to be ready to take emergency action to do something about it is good for the GOP.

For the Speaker to go into the legalities is bad political strategy. Lindsay Graham is helping; Ryan is hurting.

Who the F is Paul Ryan.

Clearly the Trump team’s lawyers have looked at this in depth. Trump is a pretty thorough guy and while he is fast and loose with his comments at times, he is the smartest guy in the room and wouldn’t drop this bomb unless his team had done some homework.

Paul Ryan, private citizen. Soon will be a talking head on a news network as the “conservative voice”.......Paul Ryan is no more conservative than I am Paul Ryan

Crystal clear. For once Paul Ryan is right, change the 14th Amendment.

Douchebag, coward Paul Ryan is a lame duck, soon he’ll be on the junk heap of former political hacks. When he first came on the scene we had faith in him......how wrong we were.

I think he is angling for some political post somewhere given his Janesville home town is heavily Democrat

Did Ryan EVER tell Obunga that ANYTHING he’d done or was planning to do was not legal, or above his authority? I’d hazard a guess and say, NEVER.

Paul Ryan: President Trump Cannot End Birthright Citizenship with Executive Order

Why not?

It's not like "birthright" by illegals is constitutional law or any law that congress passed.

A single justice, writing in the minor opinion not related to the issue being judgicated, isn't the way the Founders envisioned laws being made.

F$%k you, Ryan!

Prediction:

9-0 USSC vote that Amendment XIV requires birthright citizenship, new Amendment required to change it.

Illegals are not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States and therefore not subject to the 14th Ammendment!

So we now have to release every illegal alien convicted of a crime?

I wonder why Ryan never said that Obama couldn’t legalize millions of illegals with the stroke of a pen?

“Well if he does it, the the Supreme Court can finally issue an opinion on it. Hopefully by the time it hits SCOTUS Trump will have appointed replacements for RBG, Breyer and Sotomayor.”

I think we need to send RGB some tickets to a Wizard’s game, with a couple of Wizards fans with the loudest airhorns ever sitting right behind her.
