To: Conscience of a Conservative

What I meant was that we had previously saw what could happen when dual citizenship came into play during the War of 1812. I know that the 14th amendment was ratified after the Civil war which occurred from 1861 to 1865.

The laws right now with regard to the 14th Amendment are interpretations from the Supreme Court, which like it or not, does not always interpret the Constitution as it was written. Again and again I go back to the Heller case which should have been 9-0. That is my most recent proof that the Supreme Court is fallible.

Amen and Amen. You got it. Boy, can you say that again.

It may be the best there is, but it’s still darn weak.
