....and her reason for these requests is?

[Ann Archy]

She’s a COMMUNIST!!! That is NOT a joke.

[Honorary Serb]

Samantha World Power, the enemy of Serbia, and the enemy of America!!!!

PHOOEY to this warmonger!!!!

[SaveFerris]

Prison for Cass Sunstein’s wife seems appropriate.

[Paine in the Neck]

Power is as evil as they come but she was just acting as a (willing) cutout to protect someone (hmmm, who?) who couldn’t be seen engaging in such tawdry actions.

[AmusedBystander]

She did it out of love.

For Obama.

A corrupt president spying on political opponents has to be among the very worst scandals in American history, but crickets from media.

The 14th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States:

All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

The so-called birthright citizenship clause:

All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

There are two tests here.  

Lets look at test one.

Here's how Leftists read it.

All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

Does this grant citizenship to all persons born in the United States?

On the face of it no.  It doesn't even come close to saying that.

The inclusion of an additional stipulation in addition to simply being born on our soil, renders this a false premise.  All persons are not granted citizenship for having been born here, without being judged to be under the jurisdiction thereof.

For this reason, it is a false premise to state every person born in the United States is a citizen.

Now lets look at test two.

...and subject to the jurisdiction thereof...

Leftists love to claim that illegal aliens must abide by the laws of the United States (all except immigrating legally, I presume).  This they use as primafacia evidence that illegals aliens "...are subject to the jurisdiction thereof,...".

Is that true?  NO, and it's a very easy thing to test.

The very inclusion of this verbage in the amendment deligitimizes this claim.

If being on U.S. soil made illegal aliens "...subject of the jurisdiction thereof..." all by itself, this further stipulation would not have been provided.

If all illegal aliens were subject to the jurisdication thereof, the Citizenship claus would read, "All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."

Jurisdiction language would not be necessary, and it would not have been included.

The jurisdiction language had to be addressing something different than merely being present in the United States, when being born.

Conclusion:

The 14th Amendment does not grant citizenship to illegal aliens born on U.S. soil.

Deport her back to Ireland

[ebshumidors]

She’s ugly as sin, too. No wonder she’s a Democrat.

Samantha Power daily schedule:

eat
purge
unmask

[Wally_Kalbacken]

My theory is that the Obama Administration crapped in their pants on election night, when, instead of a nice glide slope into a friendly transition to a Hillary Clinton presidency, they realized they had to figuratively, fill the burn bags and deep six a lot of evidence.

With regard to Powers, I would build an intervention model with a binary field (coded 0=before election, 1=post election) and look at the time plot of Powers’ requests. You would then know the significance of before election/ after election, and I bet it is huge. It’s just unbelievable that as they go out the door, they would pay such close attention to this set of subjects, who coincidentally happen to be in the orbit of the apposition party’s successful candidate.

[tennmountainman]

Bolton was on Lou Dobbs and said it was 350 unmaskings.

[Basket_of_Deplorables]

It was her assigned task. No doubt given a list each week. Unmask, get the transcripts, circulate to distro list. Get the audio mp3’s, enter into Obama database. The one that crazy lady in congress said she saw.

Secret database with transcripts, audio (likely), key word searchable (including persons). Summary field, with direct links. Click and you got it.

Hundreds of people, thousands and thousands of calls.

OBAMA

[tired&retired]

I want to see a subpoena for her emails issued immediately.

[Brilliant]

Obama asked her to do it.

[piasa]

That’s a very weird pendant she’s wearing.

[piasa]

I’m betting she wasn’t unmasking people with contacts with Russians... more likely she was unmasking people who had contacts with Israelis or Russians with dual citizenship.

The only thing Powers is passionate hostile about is Israel; and unmasking people is extremely hostile.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Only 32,760 more to go to tie Hillary’s destroyed emails record.
My god these women were really busy screwing America.

[CincyRichieRich]

And hearing this news, Jeff SESSIONS falls asleep in, 3, 2, 1...

[M Kehoe]

Sunstein and her are fellow travelers with 0bama and his Marxist regime (Valjar, Rice, Brennan etc.).

Imho, they are a clear and present danger to the Republic.

Oh, and oaths are forever.
