I am 100% in agreement with Rand Paul on this. Birthright citizenship needs to end ASAP.
Does this mean we have to like Rand now?
Leave it to f***ing Rand Paul to push for an amendment that absolutely, positively could never pass but implies that birthright citizenship is a constitutional necessity. Always finds a way to look like he’s being conservative but help out the radical left. The Pauls have always been pro-invasion, dating back to when Poppa helped get John McCain nominated.
And Rand Paul is trying to set the bar ludicrously high to make sure we never get it.
Spot on.
My question is as to why Rand is doing this now when the issue is before the SCOTUS. Or did I miss something in the last couple days?
“set the bar ludicrously high”
How so? How would you have proposed such an Amendment?
“ludicrously high” would be having two CITIZEN parents. “Legal residents” seems pretty lax to me.
“Does this mean we have to like Rand now?”
Oh. I imagine there’s a catch
Catch #1
“…to push for an amendment that absolutely, positively could never pass but…”
Let’s repeal the 17th
Nope. See dangus’ posts above; he’s spot on with his assessment of Rand.

Almost everyone thinks the Court will vote for birthright citizenship.
“””””My question is as to why Rand is doing this now when the issue is before the SCOTUS.”””””
Is this his subtle way of promoting the idea and reinforcing the argument that Birthright Citizenship is currently a right that can’t be overturned by the court?
“Birthright citizenship needs to end ASAP.”
We’ll know in a few months which way SCOTUS will rule on this, Paul’s bill is moot in the meantime. The House hasn’t done anything but spend, spend, and spend since the BBB and the worthless Senate can’t even pass the SAVE act. This bill will go nowhere, too many RINOs.
Wait!
Rand Paul went and did something we all finally agree with, and RandFan wasn’t the poster?
What are the odds?
Good, I prefer to keep thinking of Rand as an egotistical ass.
No. I don’t have to like him even if I agree with him once in a while. Just like anyone else.
