Liberals are preparing for Democratic Sen. Kamala Harris’s possible expulsion from the Senate Judiciary Committee by highlighting she is a black woman.
In the event that Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith wins the Mississippi runoff election on Nov. 27, the makeup of the Senate Judiciary Committee will shift in favor of the GOP, with a seat currently held by a Democrat flipping red. Consequently, Harris, the most junior Democratic member of the committee, will likely be squeezed out.
“Not only would it be unconscionable to remove the only African American woman from the committee, but Senator Harris also is the most skilled questioner on the entire panel,” Brian Fallon, the former press secretary for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, said according to The Washington Post. “Whatever options they need to consider, removing Harris should not be one of them.” (RELATED: Los Angeles Taxpayers Had Been Footing The Bill For Kamala Harris’s Travels, Report Finds)
Fallon is the executive director of Demand Justice, a progressive advocacy organization founded to oppose President Donald Trump’s judicial nominations — the Senate Judiciary Committee’s role is to oversee and consider executive nominations. Fallon added that “the backlash would be so intense” if Harris is removed.

For a Marxist being a skank is a positive and a step up.
By whom?
Vattel never wrote that.
Who said he did?
Did he say this:
>>“The Citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they participate equally in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are Citizens”.<<
Minor did not address who was a NBC because no one had any doubt for the person in question.
Regardless of the motivation, the Supreme Court did define the term "Natural-born citizen" explicitly and unanimously, therefore it is defined. It was the "common" belief up until that time and since, and it is still taught in naturalization literature.
Has any subsequent Supreme Court reversed that opinion?
Two citizen parents, born in-country....That rules out a lot of people including Little Marco, Nikki Haley, Bobby Jindal, Beautiful Ted...and others.
Specifically?
A person born in a country, where both parents are citizens can have no other nationality than the obvious. (natural law)
.
The case featured the Father, not the mother, which is fairly typical for the era.
SCOTUS recently ruled that they are equal in all respects WRT birth citizenship.
“The Citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they participate equally in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are Citizens”
No. He did NOT say that. He did not mention “Natural Born Citizens”. A translation made 10 years AFTER the US Constitution translated “indigenes” as “Natural Born Citizens”. No prior translation did, and indeed, “indigenes” did not require translation at all, since it is the same word in both French and English.
” the Supreme Court did define the term “Natural-born citizen” explicitly and unanimously, therefore it is defined”
Flat out lie. The US Supreme Court, in Minor, REFUSED to explore the meaning of NBC. Here is the quote:
“Additions might always be made to the citizenship of the United States in two ways: first, by birth, and second, by naturalization. This is apparent from the Constitution itself, for it provides that “no person except a natural-born citizen, or a citizen of the United States at the time of the adoption of the Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President,” and that Congress shall have power “to establish a uniform rule of naturalization.” Thus new citizens may be born or they may be created by naturalization.
The Constitution does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common-law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners. Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of their parents. As to this class there have been doubts, but never as to the first. For the purposes of this case it is not necessary to solve these doubts.”
Notice one can become a citizen by two means: “two ways: first, by birth, and second, by naturalization”. One is EITHER a citizen by birth, or one by naturalization. Thus there are only two categories: Naturalized citizens, and born citizens. One or the other.
Because they relied on a bad translation of Vattel, first made 10 years AFTER the Constitution and thus unknown to anyone reading Vattel at the time of the Constitutional Convention, they said there were doubts about the need for citizen parents for someone to be born a citizen. And since the WOMAN in question HAD two citizen parents, her citizenship needed no further exploration. Thus: “For the purposes of this case it is not necessary to solve these doubts.”
The Court did not take up the meaning of NBC until Wong Kim Ark, when it concluded - with excellent evidence - that the term was merely the Americanized form of “Natural Born Subject’. NBS was a term the Founders were familiar with, and what they called themselves in letters to the King.
In that case, they determined:
“It thus clearly appears that, by the law of England for the last three centuries, beginning before the settlement of this country and continuing to the present day, aliens, while residing in the dominions possessed by the Crown of England, were within the allegiance, the obedience, the faith or loyalty, the protection, the power, the jurisdiction of the English Sovereign, and therefore every child born in England of alien parents was a natural-born subject unless the child of an ambassador or other diplomatic agent of a foreign State or of an alien enemy in hostile occupation of the place where the child was born.
III. The same rule was in force in all the English Colonies upon this continent down to the time of the Declaration of Independence, and in the United States afterwards, and continued to prevail under the Constitution as originally established.”
To repeat for emphasis: “within the allegiance, the obedience, the faith or loyalty, the protection, the power, the jurisdiction of the English Sovereign”. Notice the same standard as the 14th: “within the jurisdiction”. That excluded any born in enmity to the government, which an illegal alien undoubtedly is, since he is here illegally.
Please do no rehash this stupidity about Minor deciding ANYTHING. And please also understand VATTEL DID NOT MENTION NATURAL BORN CITIZENS. A translation in 1797 inserted that term without any justification. An indigene is an indigenous person. Look it up! It is English as well as French.
.
You’re in a rut.
You’ve type-cast yourself here.
You want to make Ted Cruz eligible so bad you’re willing to make Anwar al-Awlaki’s kids eligible to be President.
They didn't "decide" it....they simply wrote it down. Since then, it's in the books.
an indigenous person. Look it up! It is English as well as French.
Hmmmmm...it says, any person born in the country, to two citizen parents.
Never mind "the case". The definition uses the word "parents" with an "s"....referring to both parents.
.
There is no “Definition” to be found anywhere in the constitution.
need a USSC case. Make a stand and start a case GOP
Democrats control which democrat is removed.
Anwar al-Awlaki’s kids, born in Yemen to one citizen parent, are as eligible as Ted Cruz.
.
Not so Mr Idiot!
They have no “citizen parent.”
.
Anwar al-Awlaki was an American citizen.
.
Total nonsense, like 99% of your excremental posts.
.
The Cubanadian is a naturalized citizen.
Cruz’ eligibility, exdcept
Hey Mr. Editor!
Did you edit this your own liddle self?
Cruz was born a US citizen.
