Wow! Laura Ingraham Just SCHOOLED Charles Krauthammer on 14th Amendment and Donald Trump (VIDEO)
For those of you who have never seen Charles Krauthammer get schooled by a fellow journalist – here you go… ingraham krauthammer
Conservative radio host Laura Ingraham just absolutely destroyed Charles Krauthammer on the 14th amendment and anchor babies tonight on Special Report.
“ Charles Krauthammer: The issue of anchor babies or birthright citizenship, it is a sideshow because it’s a symptom…
Laura Ingraham: There’s quite a debate about whether the 14th Amendment has to be repealed. I know a lot of people glibly say… That’s not actually been settled and you could do a whole hour on the jurisprudence surrounding that.
Krauhammer: It’s been around for 150 years.
Ingraham: Well, we actually didn’t have a problem with illegal immigration in the 1800s as we know. That wasn’t an issue. It was directed at the slaves who did deserve to stay here. So, it really was an important clause and the author of the clause Howard Jacob said it didn’t apply to foreigners in the United States. But, you know, this is a long conversation… And I know Trump’s rise annoys a lot of people now. And I get it. But the people in this town who have been propping up two parties that have failed the Middle Class, failed them on these global trade deals… that have absolutely not delivered what they promised to deliver to the Middle Class, failed them on enforcing the border, failed them on all these ideas that America was going to export its values around the world… They’re ready to throw in with the guy who has all these conflicting positions maybe because the guys who said they were going to be consistent weren’t. And they’re not fighting for the people.
Krauthammer: It’s easy to go and attack Washington and it’s a clever dodge. The issue here is birthright citizenship…
Ingraham: And Bush and Obama didn’t stop it. Neither stopped it. Neither did McConnell or Boehner when they had the chance. They’re not stopping it. People are tired of it.
Wow. That was brutal. Never has Charles Krauthammer sounded more like a Wshington elitist than he did tonight.

Fox News is committing suicide.
I keep hearing the 14th Amendment can’t be altered (or an additional Amendment passed) because....’it takes too long.’
SO!?!?!?! Get started today and they might just be surprised at the speed with which it advances.

That’s just what Donald Trump said yesterday in Mobile, AL
‘You go girl.’
Yep. Charles kept talking over here and rolling his eyes.
Laura kept on point and made Chuck look like a doofus.
She is well versed in the subject matter, something Chuck better keep in mind the next time ‘round.
BTW -”Patootie” is a Filipino slang term for the male “appendage”
We are losing The Kraut. Maybe we lost him a long time ago and just never noticed.
I watched this on Fox News. Laura was Magnifico. Maybe her best 60 seconds ever.
Oh well, he can always go back to working for democrats, like Mondale, again.
Krauthammer IS an elitist. He is exempt. He has no idea what damage illegals have done to this country and my state of California. I have seen it happen.
Christie, Kristol, Krauthammer, Medved, all of these GOPe money grubbers could not care less.
We have to live in it. They do not. The baby boomers, (spit) of which I suppose I am a member of (b1960) have destroyed every thing they have touched. Achievement-less, selfish, and concerned with nothing save entertainment and sodomy. Puke.
Charles comes from the Psychological perspective. Laura clerked at the Supreme Court. I think I would trust her read on the law more.
After law school, in 1991, she served as a law clerk for Judge Ralph K. Winter, Jr., of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, in New York and subsequently clerked for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
Oh, well. Live and learn.
There's no need for a constitutional amendment.
Below is the re-post of the summary and link of the excellent Breibart constitutional analysis showing that denying citizenship to the children of illegal aliens is fully consistent with the Constitution’s Fourteenth Amendment.
The law itself:
Under current immigration law—found at 8 U.S.C. § 1401(a)—a baby born on American soil to a (1) foreign ambassador, (2) head of state, or (3) foreign military prisoner is not an American citizen.
The Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment provides: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”
The Civil Rights Act [1866] included a definition for national citizenship, to guarantee that former slaves would forever be free of the infamous Dred Scott decision which declared black people were not American citizens. That provision read, “All persons born in the United States, and not subject to any foreign power, excluding Indians not taxed, are hereby declared to be citizens of the United States.”
That was the original meaning of the jurisdiction language in the Fourteenth Amendment. A person who is “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States is a person who is “not subject to any foreign power”—that is, a person who was entirely native to the United States, not the citizen or subject of any foreign government.
Under Article I, Section 8, Clause 4 of the Constitution, Congress has absolute power to make laws for immigration and for granting citizenship to foreigners. Congress’s current INA is far more generous than the Constitution requires.
In case law:
In 1884, the Supreme Court in Elk v. Wilkins noted that the language of the Civil Rights Act was condensed and rephrased in the Fourteenth Amendment and that courts can therefore look to the Civil Rights Act to understand better the meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment. The Court reasoned that if a person is a foreign citizen, then their children are likewise not constitutionally under the jurisdiction of the United States, and therefore not entitled to citizenship. In fact, the Court specifically then added that this rule is why the children of foreign ambassadors are not American citizens.
That is why Congress can specify that the children of foreign diplomats and foreign soldiers are not Americans by birth. They’re not “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States. Congress’s INA does not grant them citizenship; federal law never has.

The 1898 Wong Kim Ark case, on which many base their argument, is off point because baby Ark’s parents were in the U.S. legally, not illegally.
Dozens of Hillary Clinton E-mails Were ‘Born Classified.’” What, do we have anchor e-mails now? Anchor e-mails.
Annie covers it pretty well in her Wednesday column.
1960 kind of year when the “hippidom” was born. The Greatest generation came back from WWII and totally spoiled their kids NOT to respect things they had been taught through THEIR parents and in decent school education. ROTTEN spoiled and you see the result today and possibly generations ahead of us. We will NEVER know. Our own power is PRAYER for the future!!!
Krauthammer and as you know you know, know it all O’Reilly believe after the pronounce the words that makes it the end of the debate. Two pin heads.
“Saur-Krauth” is promoted by Brett Bair and he showed his colors clearly on the FAUX fiasco debate night last week!!!
Thanks for that.
Multiply Krauth’s total ignorance by the millions, that’s what you have today, By the millions!!!
She needs to take on BOR BIG time as well !!!
