I should have added that Savage seems to be engaged in self immolation.
I think he is burned out out with radio and his program.
I stopped listening to Savage when he gave Jerry “Governor Moonbeam” Brown the maximum-allowable political contribution in 2006. I have been informed that Savage has since broken with Brown, but why would any self-descried conservative ever support him in the first place?
This back-and-forth has been going on since Levin joined the national broadcast stage.
I am wondering whether Cumulus is pushing them to do this to improve ratings.
It is, by both talkers, petty and diminutive. There are more important issue that both could be discussing.
The Venus cite comes from the opinion of Marshall, who concurs in part with the majority. While it’s interesting that Vattel is cited by the court, as a source, despite being a foreigner, the court does not consider the phrase “natural born citizen” in this ruling. Absolutely damning to your case is that Vattel’s “naturels,” the word which so many who cite him lately translate as “natural-born citizens” is, instead, translated as “native.”
The Minor demonstrates the lack of Supreme Court precedent; it cites the controversy as to what “Natural-born” means, but does not resolve it.
The Dred Scott case, of course, is the most infamous case in SCOTUS history; It doesn’t make your case, but a far more horrible case: that only children of citizens may become citizens at all! Therefore, even their children would not be citizens, no matter how generations passed. This was no mere slip: it was used to argue that slaves were not citizens. But it would also mean that anyone descended from immigrants would not be citizens, contrary to Vattel, natural law, and just about any standard of decency.
Shanks does not address the issue.
Perkins and Ark assert that those born on American soil of American citizens are natural-born citizens, but do not say that those born on American soil of those who are not American citizens are not natural-born citizens.
Left alone, however, the ambiguity of Perkins and Ark might leave someone to guess that one had to have citizen parents to be NBC, and therefore one might defer to Vattel’s logic. But Ark cited Lynch v Clark as its source, which referred to the children born on US soil who were NOT US Citizens.
I’ll grant that there is an uncomfortable ambiguity in NBC, but to call Levin an idiot because you disagree with him is just, well, idiotic.
There is something going on the last few days. Right-wing radio bashing coming from our own side.
We dont have to agree 100% with each other on every issue, and we dont need to stir up cat fights among ourselves.
Yesterday there were a bunch bashing Glenn Beck. Like him or don’t, but he is doing good work.
Can’t believe Savage got Bachelor’s slot on ABC radio. What a waste.
Savage/Wiener (Wiener/Savage?) can be entertaining and informative and has contributed to the national narrative, but at this point, he's a low average hitter, a parachute flare slowly fading and falling.
You might tune in to an interesting show, but more likely you'll be listening to self centered personality disorder talking about making meatballs.
... and to be clear, Lynch v Clark was not a SCOTUS ruling, but it said that children born on US soil to legal non-citizen immigrants were natural-born citizens. SCOTUS cited this case in Ark as precedent.

To be fair, Savage/Wiener does a lot of shooting at those he considers to be his competition in radio land and is then incredulous when they don't come to his defense, like with his being banned from GB.
He is his own worst enemy.
I heard him refer to Hannity as “the wallbanger”, whatever that means. Isn’t that a drink? Harvey Wallbanger? Does SH drink too much? LOL.
Good morning, Michael.
Levin’s description, Manchurian Conservative is perfect.
Yea, a harvey wallbanger was a drink. As far as I know, Sean doesn’t drink.
I think Weiner was just trying to put others down to build himself up.
That was my major gripe against him.
bobo
He’s also referred to Hannity as “the leprechaun”.
Wallbanger is a reference to Hannity’s working in construction before his radio career.
Savage is pretty close to being the liberal characature of a Conservative Talk Show host.
I forget what he called Hannity.
He calls him “The Wallbanger”
As if having a Blue collar job (Hannity used to install Sheetrock way back when) was such a horrible thing for the elite Weiner Nation.
Yea, I remember that now. Been so long since I listened to Savage.
thanks, bobo
Ahhhhhhhhhhh, got it. Thx.
