And that is a huge part of the problem - lawmakers who haven’t a clue what the Constitution means.

Will Paul Ryan and John McCain be acknowledged in history books (if civilization survives and if there are history books) as two of the most notorious traitors of all time?

McCain was mentally sick, I get that. But Paul Ryan? Whatever motivates him to be so despicable?

Also, renting a house or letting illegals stay at your place should be prosecuted as harboring a fugitive.

Any business transaction with an illegal should be prosecuted as aiding and abetting criminals.

Nowhere to live, nowhere to work, no bank accounts, no drivers licenses, and no sending money back home. That would certainly slow down the mass of people that want to come here illegally. It wouldn’t even need new laws.

Let’s assume the drafters of that amendment were not morons. They had a choice between:

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,”

and

2. “All persons born or naturalized in the United States are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”

They chose and ratified the second version. The only logical interpretation is that the phrase “and subject to the jurisdiction thereof” was intended to have a restrictive meaning. President Trump is correct.

Subsequent laws do not change the Constitution.

Natural born citizens have ONE nationality.

Cruz was born with THREE.

Canadian by birth, Cuban from his father, American on his mother’s side.

He is not naturally an American.

Citizen at birth was specifically rejected by the founders as insufficient to prevent the introduction of foreign influence on the Presidency.

They chose natural born citizen as more restrictive as it excludes the children of foreign nationals.

Whatever motivates him to be so despicable?

Saving the entire thread.

There are some excellent comments, along with the usual negative ones from certain FReepers.

They have to sell out before they get to the upper echelons in the Republican Party. If anyone slips by, they don't get full support.

In OH, the nasty campaign advertising is so extreme that one has to vote for who is less awful so the most awful person won't win. The dems now have a message that's probably a winner. The sleazeballs running for Governor and US Senator have collected financing from pharmaceutical companies and done nothing to lower costs. Not that the new sleazeballs will be any better.

The Democrats are trying the same tactic against Dave Brat here. I think it’s a theme they are using nationally.
I do not think it will work.

You said you don't think the issue of collecting campaign contributions from pharmaceutical companies and doing nothing to lower prices won't work. It might work. How THE HECK do they MAGA if they've been bought and paid for?

The Republicans here can't even articulate the issues they ran on. That indicates they didn't believe them in the first place. The response should be making Obamacare optional thus increasing competition for insurance, pharmaceutical, and other medical costs would lower prices and encourage lower-cost alternatives.

I don ‘t know which candidates in OH that you are referring to, but many of them are Bush League Republicans that should be replaced. I’d prefer they not be replaced by Democrats, but if they aren’t defeated in a primary, that may happen.

Dave Brat is one of the best in Congress.
He is the only GOP rep that was rated 100% by NumbersUSA.
We already got rid of our Bush League Republican when we Cantorized the weasel Eric Cantor in 2014.

Classic Levin. When he omits the part of the quote that guts his argument - "...who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States..." you know he has nothing but bluster.

Classic Semimojo, spouting nonsense. Go to the audio provided in the link then flash forward to the 5:50 mark then LISTEN..........Sheesh!
