According to Mark Levin, the Supreme Court has said no such thing.

Mark Levin is wrong if he thinks that the 14th Amendment says nothing on Birthright Citizenship. There is a very good case to be made that the 14th Amendment guarantees birthright citizenship to everyone born in America except for the children of foreign diplomats (and at the time it was written the Indian tribes) who are not subject to US Law -ie diplomatic immunity. The whole question depends on what the phrase “and subject to the Jurisdiction thereof” means. Most scholars believe that if someone did not have immunity from U.S. law that they were “subject to the Jurisdiction...” of the United States. So, anyone who says that its going to be easy to get rid of Birthright Citizenship without a Constitutional Amendment doesn’t know what they are talking about.

Yes, he has. But, unfortunately, I think there have been court rulings that lend some legal support to the current insane policy. And do we really believe that Roberts or Kennedy would both come down on the right side of this issue. I doubt it seriously.

But we do have to try. I hope something comes of this.

The problem for conservatives is that every “shiny object” like anchor babies gets talked about until our head explodes while not a damn thing is done to fix illegal alien crime. I care about the “chained family “ laws but they are not raping wives and young girls they are not drunk drivers killing people on the streets. One of those guys finally is going to jail in Dallas but he had been convicted 4 times before he killed a family - in our area. GEEZ folks - not aimed at you catsrus - but when do we focus on a few issues and get action?

Mark Levin is biased. He is also not the only voice on the issue. There are many who strongly disagree with him.
