One can say “The Constitution needs to be amended and we need a change in the 14th amendment.”

He could still be for this position, but yeah, he'd have to either argue for a Constitutional amendment or simply say that he would appoint the kind of judges who would interpret the 14th amendment differently (ie, that would not say it allows birthright citizenship). He is probably better off going with the Supreme Court nomination argument. We know such a constitutional amendment will never pass, and if he focuses on the judges it will give conservatives a reason to believe he will be solid on court nominations.

“And if he focuses on the judges...”

So we are going to turn to the Black Robed people, as Mark Levin basically calls them, to declare our future?

Government by SCOTUS in the end?

Is that conservatism?
