Amendment 14 - Citizenship Rights. Ratified 7/9/1868.

1. 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. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Don't let this get in your way.

Hell, don’t debate the 14th Amendment, just nullify the first sentence of Section I, take out the first sentence and keep the rest!

I don’t know of a single slave or American Indian alive right now who has not been conferred citizenship nor any that are still having children.

S__t can the first sentence of the 14th Amendment. We already nullified parts of Section II.

The whole thing was designed for one reason and one reason only... Reconstruction and to protect the newly acquired rights of slaves. Could have been handled better by simply enforcing the declaration of their status as citizens. The law of unintended consequences in action. The stupid thing reads like a knee jerk reaction type of gun control legislation for today.

No wonder it is FUKT’d, it was written by a bunch of damn bitter Yankees and bleeding heart sympathizers!
