Yes, this case is the whole enchilada. That's why you have a hack judge from the 5th Circuit who has suddenly decided there's a new definition of "invasion" cited in that article. This is a deliberate and concerted effort by right wingers to overturn birthright citizenship.[/quote]

And this is a bad thing? I'm in favor of overturning birthright citizenship. It needs to be modified to align more with what almost every other country does. [/quote]

It's a bad thing when it contradicts the plain language of the Constitution, but the Supreme Court already did this with the Second Amendment so I don't imagine people will really notice or care.[/quote]

This change was introduced...[url]H.R. 4864: To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to clarify the application of birthright citizenship, and for other purposes.[/url]

I think this should be a ballot issue - let all US Citizens vote on whether they are in favor or not of amending the Constitution to end birthright citizenship.

Do you realize the Constitution has been amended 27 times since it was ratified in 1787? Amending the Constitution has led to many positive outcomes - guaranteed fundamental rights to Americans, including protection of life, liberty, and property.

Amendments to the Constitution are meant to address concerns that were not anticipated - to reflect changing times. [/quote][/quote]
