*oviously*, you're dumber than a bag of defective hammers.
Sense you are oBviously a Constitutional Scholar as well as a pedant, please explain:
In re the 14th Amendment to the Constitution;
Section one of the 14th Amendment:
"All persons born or naturalized in the U.S., and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are CITIZENS of the U.S. 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 U.S.; 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."
Why in the first two phrases use the word "CITIZENS" and in the last two phrases use the words "ANY PERSON"?
If the intent was to allow a law such as 1070 wouldn't the authors use the word "Citizens" exclusively?
oviously, there is no deprivation of due process in 1070, except in your oviously defective mind.
anyone, citizen or no, in the us is afforded due process via the constitution, that doesn't mean that anyone who's born here of illegal parents should automatically become a citizen.
oviously, you're not the brightest bulb on the tree.
You say they shouldn't. That's worth, nothing; the law says differently. Go ahead, join with the Republicans and call for the breakup of families, the deporatation of an ethnic group and the harrassment of U.S. citizens because of the color of their skin, their accent or just because your kind has a resonable suspicion.
Being detaned for an hour or a day on a reasonable suspicion isn't a United States etho, but then again RWers lack any capacity to understand the principles upon which our nation was founded.
