They aren't. That's not the question. Where are they mentioned? They aren't. The Constitution clearly says anything not specifically mentioned in the Constitution is up to the states. Marriage laws are state issues. That's why abortion was sent to the states. We finally have a majority Constitutional Court after years and years of having a leftist activist majority Court. Same-sex marriage will be reversed eventually and sent to the states.
Your opinion. Ho hum.
Being born here does NOT make you a citizen.
Don't try word games, Pretender. You are not a lawyer.
Get out and know something besides Cats....Just saying.
Go mop the floor.
I think you mean "swab the deck, matey."
All people in the United States are subject to its jurisdiction…
How do you define “jurisdiction”?
They were.
Your twisting words. The Amendment doesn't say "subject to the United States jurisdiction". It says "All persons born in the United States AND subject to the jurisdiction thereof....". Foreigners are subject to the jurisdiction of their country. There are many countries that don't give citizenship to anyone born in their country by foreign mother.
You really believe that the intent of that language had to do with immigrants?
He is SUCH a proud, fucking idiot! Kind of gives you an idea of what his "base" is like.
They never were, Pretender.
Apparently YOU don't!
If you are in the United States, you are subject to its jurisdiction, even if you are a foreigner.
No, but the clear meaning covers them. The amendment was written with a broad definition for a reason. They could have just said “former slaves” are citizens, but they used broader concepts and principles to define what is a citizen, and those broad concepts clearly cover these people born here. People born here are not immigrants.
People born here are not immigrants.

That wasn't true until the Supreme Court decided it was true 30 years after the ratification of the 14th Amendment. That decision can be reversed.
