Fourteenth Amendment​

Section 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.

Come again? The left for YEARS has tried to make the Second Amendment mean what they want it to, despite the clear meaning. This, on the other hand, is not so simple. The belief that someone who is here illegally is "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" is the salient point here, and the interpretation of the majority is the wrong one, in my opinion. Illegal aliens are subject to the jurisdiction of the place that they came from.

Iranian clerics call for Trump and Netanyu 's assassination

According to The Telegraph, the statement said killing "the criminal American president" and "the wicked prime minister of the Zionist regime" was a religious duty and that anyone who had the opportunity to do so "must not" neglect it.

At the state level, the most important politicians are Governors, Attorneys General, and Secretaries of State.

I doubt my grandkids could name any of them. :( I had to look some up myself. (not the top 3 but of the 7)

------------------------------------------------------------

The 7 that appear in all 50 states are governor, attorney general, superintendent of schools, insurance commissioner, agriculture commissioner, labor commissioner, and public service commissioner.

Many executive offices, especially prominent ones like attorney general and secretary of state, are established in a state's constitution, which provides the basis for their authority and a description of their duties. Other offices commonly included in a state's constitution are treasurer and superintendent of schools. Other executive officers are established by statute rather than the state constitution. Such offices often include auditor, agriculture commissioner, natural resources commissioner, insurance commissioner, and others. Executive officers are ordinarily either elected or appointed by the governor. In some cases, officers are chosen by the state legislature or supreme court.

Others, vary from state to state.

More than 4,400 current and former SpaceX employees are now millionaires. This massive wealth creation is due to SpaceX's policy of offering equity to everyday workers—such as welders, technicians, and cafeteria staff.......

I wonder how many folks Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren made rich with their work? They seem the most mad Elon is so rich.

Socialism could fix this shit.

And that's not counting these "other" millionaires created thanks to Elon's altruistic unselfish generosity from the kindness of his purest little heart... :winktongue:

That's certainly the popular gaslighting. Or could it be that these three judges were the only ones who did their research and voted to uphold the 14th amendment as it was understood at the time it was passed?

The 14th amendment was introduced into the senate by senator Jacob Howard, who was also the senate manager for the amendment. At the time, citizenship was with the individual states and he co-authored an amendment to section 1 of the 14th amendment (the citizenship clause) for the purpose of insuring that one state couldn't deny constitutional protections to a citizen of a different state. According to him, a restriction on the states, and nothing more. In introducing his amendment to the senate, he said:

"Every person born within the limits of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States. This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons."

This was followed by extensive debate, which wasn't about birthright citizenship at all. Birth tourism wasn't very feasible in 1866. The debate was over if this clause conferred citizenship to American Indians.

So here the man who co-authored the clause that supposedly created birthright citizenship, said very explicitly that it didn't. What are some possibilities?

1. He was simply careless, didn't write down what he meant, and convinced the senate that he didn't need to?
2. That it was perfectly clear at the time that birthright citizenship wasn't conferred, and that understanding has been conveniently forgotten to illegitimately change the meaning of the 14th amendment?
3. The ambiguity was an intentional deception to fool the legislators and public, similar to the "You can keep your insurance" lie that was needed to get obamacare passed?
4-.... ???

Here's the transcript of Howard introducing the "birthright citizenship" amendment to section 1 of the proposed 14th amendment. Seems pretty clear he said there was absolutely no birthright citizenship intended.

If you were born in America, you’re an American. You have a right to live here. Unless of course you’re American. In which case you’re living on stolen land. Satire - or Truth?
