Where do you guys get this dangerous idea?

Whatever the current congress thinks the constitution means or should mean is under their direct control?

What if you don’t agree with some future congress and they make changes you think are crazy, is that still the law of the land?

Just think about what you are saying?

I can’t tell if you’re for real or if you’re just trolling.

No one is saying the Constitution means whatever the current Congress says. Congress at semi-regular intervals passes laws that the Supreme Court says are unconstitutional and which, therefore, do no go into effect. Any law stating, for example, that someone born in Austria to Austrian parents is a NBC would become one of those laws stricken.

What we are saying is that a body of work, both legislative and judicial, has evolved over time that the Supreme Court uses to make those determinations. That body of work does, in fact, fill in terms undefined and details unaddressed in the Constitution. We are also confident that this body of work would not yield a decision that a NBC must have two citizen parents.

But, yes, if one wanted to remove the NBC requirement, as another example, that would take a constitutional amendment.

Like their hero 0bama, they think the Constitution is just a piece of old paper, quite flawed, actually.

He has been her just three (3) months and he has made hundreds of Alinsky posts here, but ONLY on the issue of his usurper's sealed BC and other records that we want to see!

He has never posted anything of Conservative constructive issues, hiding behind the mantle of being a "Conservative (?)"!!

He is a 24/7 "AFTER-BIRTHER" and a ZERO-BRIGADE mole to do his best to distort the real issue. He has not addressed anything what this long thread is all about, Congressman Deal's letter asking to see the B.C!!!
