So following my ex-Gov’s (sorry) reasoning, then the 14th Amendment, was wrong to being with? It was there to right a wrong, so using Janet’s logic, it was wrong for the States to even AMEND the Constitution.
I like your attitude...heh. Yep, I only spend about 40% of my time apologizing...so maybe I have you beat... ha.
Much of my comments are made way too quick and without enough thought but I still enjoy it...seems to be a real problem.
She should have been fired back when she asserted “the system worked” after the December terrorist attempt.....=.=
The 14th Amendment AMENDS the Constitution. The ENTIRE Consititution. The MEANING of the Constitution. The INTENT of the Constitution. The PURPOSE of the Constitution. The REASON FOR the Constitution. The ESSENCE of the Constitution.
As you WELL KNOW.
BITCH.
CHANGE
Ping!
There is no need for any amendment to the 14th Amendment.
It is very clear in it’s intent. However, the 3 houses of our esteemed Fed government have selective reading and comprehension skills.
The MOST important part of the 14th “ . . . and subject to the jurisdiction thereof . . . “ is, and has been conveniently ignored by the powers that be for their own perverted benefit.
The bottom line is, anchor babies born on US soil are NOT ‘subject to the jurisdiction’ of the US. They are subject to the laws and regulations and jurisdiction of their illegal alien parents’ homeland.
No need for ‘living document’ interpretation.
Enforce the 14th as written and all will be well.
The amendment process was designed to be both difficult and cumbersome in order to make sure changes in the constitution were not the result of some short-term political whim or stylish trend, not to replace the other two branches of government with a judicial oligarchy.
