The govt is merely a protector of rights. The govt should have no say over whether or not I own a gun or a nuclear warhead. The govts ONLY concern should be if or when I use either or both to infringe on the rights of other people. You idiots are so fucked up is a miracle if you still have all your fingers.
So drunk driving?
What the fuck are whining about?
Do you believe an American should have a right to marry someone of the same sex?
If the 14th Amendment says everyone born here by parents from other countries is automatically a citizen, why didn't the authors of the Amendment simply say that without adding..."and under the jurisdiction thereof".
Because they wanted to exclude children of certain Indians and Diplomats
No but the arguments used for gay "marriage" were grossly flawed.
Haha, so your philosophy falls apart. I understand.
Prove it. No one was ever refused marriage because they were gay.
Correct. So why are children of foreigners automatically citizens?
You're confused. The Amendment isn't speaking about criminal offenses.
Was the Amendment written solely for the purpose of ensuring descendants of ex-slaves had full citizenship rights?
If you say so.
Because the 14th says they are if they are born in the United States and subject to its jurisdiction.
The same reason AR-15's are legal even though they did not exist in 1776
I do say so. Prove me wrong. Please don't tell me two men or two women tried to get married and were refused. That's not proof they were refused because they were gay. Prove it.
Its not just about criminal offences, its about any and all jurisdiction.
So a Native American born in Arizona isn't an American citizen. Right?
They were refused because of who they desired a marriage with, even though it harmed no one.
No, thats not what I said. There are no longer reservations where people are not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.
