'Fair Point!' CNN Cheers Claim That Challenging Birthright Citizenship Is ‘Racist’
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelsein

Hill introduced Shan Wu as a “defense attorney and former federal prosecutor”—leaving viewers unaware that he served as a prosecutor and adviser to Janet Reno in the Clinton Justice Department.

Wu dismissed arguments advanced by John Eastman as “pretty unsound,” before escalating:

SHAN WU: The very creation of the 14th Amendment was meant to combat racism. And really, implicitly, people who are challenging that clause are really espousing a racist viewpoint. It’s very hard to get around that… just because you have a legal argument doesn’t mean it’s not racist.

Rather than challenge the sweeping accusation, like this argument couldn't apply to children of Caucasian foreigners, Hill endorsed it: "Fair point!"

I do not care, every country has an existential right to determine who can become one of it’s citizens. The left wants to muddy that right. I would just like someone to show me how allowing ‘races’ who do not subscribe to the idea of what being a self-sufficient American is has added to the fabric of our country.

Slice the population up as many ways as possible to soak the taxpayer to solve imaginary discrimination problems.

So many minorities, so little time...

Sexist and misogynist are also in the same word category of lost meanings from massive misapplication/overuse.

Believing that illegal Invaders who live within your nation deserve rights, money, and privileges from the working class taxpayer is Rascist.

The very creation of the 14th Amendment was meant to combat racism.


I think the very creation of the 14th Amendment was to explain to the South, who won the Civil War. Confederate money and debt was declared worthless, Union money and debt had to be honored and virtually all Confederate officials and officers were disenfranchised and banned from holding public office until Congress ruled otherwise.

Now, the birthright citizenship was to ensure that the former slaves were citizens of both the states they lived in and the United States. It was never intended for how it is exercised today, cross the border, give birth and the kid is 100% a citizen.

When somebody has to resort to rhetoric like, “It’s really racist ... no, it really is,... it is REALLY, really racist...”

He’s lying. And it is obvious to even a two-year old. Really, really, REALLY obvious.

Barret will agree. She and her brood of trophy adoptees. Why not adopt the world? Besides she’ll just do what Roberts does anyway. We are so screwed. Aside from Thomas and Alito this is the dumbest collection of black robed retards in captivity.

Nobody knows what “racist” means. It means whatever you want it to mean.
