Nice try.
NR being NR. No thank you.
Talk about missing the point!
Yoo LOSE!
“Tradition” is NOT “law”!
Would William F. Buckley agree with this piece?
At this point I don’t care which side of the argument is right. Amend the Constitution, put an end to this nonsense, and make it so the Dems can’t just write new laws or issue new executive orders whenever they regain power in the future.
Favor??? How touchy feely. Sorry, an illegal stepping foot over the border and plopping out an anchor baby cannot stand. It insane policy on the face of it. It needs to be changed. Period. File the freaking amendment already.
BTW, if a US citizen happens to give birth in Mexico, is that child a Mexican citizen?
Boom! Levin disseminated that thoroughly. This guy must have slept in a Holiday Inn Express last night.
Mr Yoo states the literal verbatim words of citizenship in the context of just that bit, but then totally ridicules the same language when it speaks of “under the jurisdiction.”
Like those words he literally clings to when it fits his illegal alien anchor baby birthright, he ignores words that speak of “jurisdiction” - normality, documentation, recognized actions for citizens, etc.
As archaic as those words might be, they mean that illegals are not normal citizens under the jurisdiction of our system of laws except as interlopers of no standing. If anything they are outside that jurisdiction until caught and then summarily expelled.
Take the BCs away and throw them out.
Law and tradition require that ICE be allowed to do its job and that the Federal Government cooperate with the States in defending them against invasion by immigration. How’d that work out in Arizona?
Yoo are an idiot.
Why does it not surprise us that the author of this piece worked for a Bush?
Hey Yoo read the author of the citizenship clause’s own words and get back to me. His defination of scope to it’s intent flies in the face of the crap both you and the courts are selling.
On Citizenship, the ‘Birthers’ Are Right
well..this headline works for me.
the article...not so much..
Under the 14th amendment, American Indians were not considered citizens of the United States, although they were born in the United States. They were considered to be under the jurisdiction of their tribal nation. It took a special act of Congress to grant them citizenship, about 50 years later. As Mark Levin’s expert noted, the second clause of the amendment would not be necessary if birthright citizenship was meant. The 14th amendment prohibits birthright citizenship. I assume that Mark Levin will rip this idiot on his show Monday. Mark Levin use to write for National Review.
Plain BS
UC Berkeley - what a shock.
The Ruling Class desperately wants their slave labor - what a shock.
National Review comes out for big liberal causes again - what a shock.
But of course, if they were subject to our jurisdiction they’d be following our immigration laws.
Since they insist they’re not under our laws, that negates the whole argument.
The 14th Amendment applied to freed slaves - who weren’t considered citizens by most states after the Civil War.
It never applied to tourists, ambassadors or Native Americans.
But you Ruling Classers desperately want your nickel an hour employees, so the Constitution will be your bitch and you’ll screw it like one.
The only thing I agree with is that this won’t hold up in court - I’m sure some activist, left wing, Obama appointed judge who hates America will sit here and tell us that the Constitution doesn’t matter because racism.
Funny how letting them ignore the law because they’re brown and requiring me to follow the law because I’m white isn’t racist against me, but I didn’t go to Berkeley...
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.
Here is the same language but with the bold text removed:
All persons born or naturalized in the United States are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.
The Libs tell us that both versions are the same. They are nuts if they believe that. The fellow who wrote those words didn't think so and neither do I.
John Yoo? Cant wait for Laura Ingraham to slice and dice him...he’s been on her show
“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.” (BOLD emphasis added)
Why is the AND so hard to understand? Not every person whose mother sticks herself over a border to give birth is automatically due citizenship and the eternal protection of the US government.
