We don’t need a constitutional amendment about Birthright citizenship. The 14th Amendment already addresses it. It just needs to be interpreted correctly. This one has to go to the Supreme Court

Incorrect. It needs ZERO ‘interpretation’. It needs only a FULL reading of its plain & simple English.

Like the 2nd, the govt lawyers (I repeat myself), like to omit clauses and sections of the Const. they don’t like. Hell, when’s the last time A1S8 was ever uttered, let alone “shall NOT be infringed”?

It takes 5 justices to “interpret” the Constitution to say whatever they want it to say. Those who subscribe to “original intent” are in the minority. Newly appointed Kavanaugh is definitely in the camp of continuing with established precedent.
