Strawman argument, with a hint of ad hominem thrown in.

You imply I think lib justices are "smart." There have been lots of (IMHO) dumb decisions. That isn't the point we're arguing.

It is an article of faith among conservatives that Liberal Judges are WRONG,(not dumb) and that they shouldn't even BE on the courts. The point that I am making in a roundabout way, is that you hold peculiar ideas for a supposed conservative. Whether you realize it or not, I am trying to garner evidence for a zot. Say enough stuff that makes people think you're an agent provocateur, and lighting strikes.

Now you may be what you would seemingly have us believe; a conservative with a disagreement on this particular issue, and an indulgence for Liberal Judges on the courts, perhaps even pro-choice, but these are peculiar positions to hold for any conservative of which I am familiar with. It is axiomatic to my mind that if you are not even a conservative, then you merely serve to waste our time.

If you ARE a conservative, then I intend to show you the inconsistency of your philosophies, and help you seam them back together again.

I’ve seen lots of this - if you don’t agree with the “natural born” crowd you’re a lib, a traitor, part of the conspiracy etc. It’s a new one to me that “jus soli = abortion.”

You want to zot me on that basis, go ahead. It won’t change the fact that you’re wrong about jus soli, as shown by previous SCOTUS decisions. It also won’t change that you’re wrong about legally deporting those born on American soil.
