The Constitution is an all-or-nothing proposition that must be upheld completely and consistently.

If you want to show that a certain law was unconstitutional to begin with, I’m all with you.

If you want to start passing retroactive laws in clear violation of the Constitution, then you will have none of my support.

Conservatives who go against the Constitution are no better than the liberals who go against the Constitution, irrespective of how noble their intentions may be.

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

Well, that's pretty effin clear to me!

If you want to redefine citizenship, you're gonna need an amendment. Ratified. Anything else won't cut it.

Some people think the ends justify the means, no matter what. And since when did thinking about the welfare of innocent children become a “liberal” position?

I understand what you are saying but I respectfully disagree. We are fighting a gurrilla war here and I will be da**ed that I won’t be a Redcoat getting shot. We have to get back to a place that the Constitution can be enforced. In case you haven’t notice it hasnt been in effect for a while.
