I love the idea of ending birthright citizenship for children of illegals. That said, arguing original intent has done us absolutely no good with abortion, Obamacare individual mandate, or gay marriage. We lose, lose, and lose some more no matter how well reasoned our arguments. Time to make it explicitly clear within the Constitution.

(That is not to say we shouldn’t try to pursue original intent in the judicial system. We just shouldn’t ignore the need for a constitutional amendment. If we’re successful in the courts, awesome!)

If they make up stuff now, what's to stop them from doing it with a new amendment? The problem is corrupt judges. Not the words or correct meaning.

If they want to deliberately interpret something wrong, they will. See "Gay Marriage." In 1787 they hung people for sodomy, they didn't argue they had a right to "marry."

Wrong, it’s time to impeach these hemorroid-ridden black robed SCUMBAGS.

Congress has sole power of naturalizaiton. FARK THE COURTS and FU Bucktooth kenyan.
