Are you implying thet States cannot begin and follow through on creating a US Constitutional Amendment?States dont have the power here. It's a federal issue and must be done through Constitutional Amendment.
Please elaborate.
You are forgetting one important fact. If a case challenging the birthright clause in the 14th Amendment is brought to the SCOTUS, the justices certainly may decide the Amendment does not allow for birthright citizenship for children of illegal aliens.
This is real!
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.
Seems pretty clear to me.... I don't see how the SCOTUS could possibly claim that "they didn't really mean what they wrote".
This is similar to the far-left nutcases who argue that the Second Amendment's intent was to keep a standing militia, not legalize gun ownership.
