Unfortunately, it is 2009, not 1776, we are in a post-14th-amendment world, and whether you agree or disagree with the interpretation of that amendment, and I know which side you fall on that, we can fight all we want but at some level the constitution does mean what the supreme court says it means.
And you have to realise that not a single justice on that court would agree with your position. You may be right, but even the most conservative of the judges that we have appointed thinks federal criminal statutes are constutional. I may be happy if some day they rule otherwise, but I’ve got enough things to worry about without tilting at windmills.
You know, that’s exactly what the liberals say about the Constitution. “It’s 2009 (or whatever year) and that musty old thing doesn’t FIT any more, just like my old dress.”
However, this is NOT a liberal forum. It is for CONSERVATIVES. If this is how you feel, your place is three doors down on the LEFT.
