He obviously does here. And you and I both know there is no such court ruling, there never has been a ruling regarding the children of illegals.
Freddy made a big, big mistake by showing up here, and an even bigger one opening his mouth and hedging.
Fred really doesn’t have much room to maneuver, either. By hedging on Federalism for abortion and the 14th amendment on immigration, he alienates conservatives. He’s basically asking conservatives to care about poll results and liberal poll worshippers to care about conservatism.
Thompson is currently trading at 1.5 on Intrade to win the Iowa caucuses, just 0.4 ahead of the field (Hunter).
