Im a little confused about the question of anchor-babies.I was listening to talk radio about this issue last week and the impression I got from the converstion was to end this thing would require a Constitutional Amendment !!!
No. Just as with abortion, Congress has very considerable power in legislation. They simply don't normally challenge the Court because they like to have the Court around to do the ugly things the voters won't tolerate.
There's a lot of nonsense about how powerless Congress is. Well, it isn't.

14th Amendment
"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."
That is very clear. Any bill that attempts to change subvert the constitution should be considered null. For Ron Paul to introduce legislation that ignores the constitution seemingly destroys his own argument against the WOT.
