It doesn’t really matter what the Framers had in mind..

WOW. That just says it all. The Constitution no longer matters and yet you swore an oath to defend what doesn't really matter? God help us.

He can’t unsay it. FR has no way for people to edit their comments after they post ‘em.

He’s a leftist troll. Clear as day.

Thank you - please forgive me for taking liberty and adding the following:

To douginthearmy:

I wrote in a previous post that I thought you had potential - obviously I was wrong.

You are entitled to your opinion - but NOT this one when you are in the service and swore to defend the Constitution. To say it doen't matter betrays your oath.

If you feel so strongly that way - resign, don't re-enlist ... GET OUT! Then, you are entitled to THIS opinion. But, as long as you wear that uniform - you are legally, ethically, and MORALLY obligated to protect that precious document.

I don't agree with your opinions. But, I respect your right to have them - that is, ALL BUT THIS ONE. thats what America is all about. Shame on you - you are pissing on the graves of all that have fallen in defense of our country ...

I say potato, you say tomato. Did the Framers intend Indian children to be natural born citizens? Did the Framers intend that the children of slaves would be natural born citizens? No. But their intent does not matter. Nor is the Framers' intent EQUAL the Constitution. That is why they are different words with different spelling.

Do you think the Framers intended income tax? Women voting?
