" Addressing The Tireless But Inane "
* Argumentative Absurdity *
The us 14th amendment specifies that one is a citizen at birth to the state in which one was born....
Amendment XIV § 1, Clause 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." ~~
14th Amendment ~~ [Emphasis added]
There is a huge difference in YOUR statement directly above and what the Amendment actually states. Obviously a person like myself who was born in Nebraska and now living in Arizona, is no longer a citizen of Nebraska. You're in gross error yet again.
Just because you have a prejudicial bias against accepting an acuity for literacy does not mean the statements are not present , or that their implications are not clear and evident , or that the statements are ignored in common law .
Within the context of greek city states , a premise for citizenship of a state is absolutely plausible .
The us 14th amendment of the constitution stipulates " within jurisdiction " in its phraseology ; and , any competent retort would address implications of that article .
"...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." ~~ Ibid ~~ [Emphasis added]
Again, you misquote the Amendment for your own purposes of misdirection. The Amendment does NOT stipulate the phrase "within jurisdiction" anywhere in its five Sections. Therefore, the only conclusion to be drawn is that your assertion is false and you err yet again!
A paraphrase of " within its jurisdiction " as " within jurisdiction " is hardly a logical fallacy .
A due process clause is a " protection " clause that is analogous with negative liberty ( to act freely , independent of government or of other individual ) .
However , citizenship is a positive liberty and its endowment is determined by immigration policy , based upon " within its jurisdiction " and definitely not determined by undermining politics from rogue marauders , and not determined by those who would aid is infiltration .
* More On Bloviation Adding To Pathetic Address *
Contending that blind ignorance be issued towards the implications of " within jurisdiction " , as a distinct criteria applied to citizenship , simply so that disconcerted feelings of dissenters would not be hurt , is quashed .
Obviously no foundation laid for this additional fallacious assertion given the claimed quote of "within jurisdiction" from Amendment XIV has been shown to be non-existent and the closing snark is what is being quashed. Oh, and your erred a third time making it three for three in the fail column!
A paraphrase of " within its jurisdiction " as " within jurisdiction " is not a logical fallacy and it does not detract from the premise presented here in .
* Ridiculous Flatulence Continues *
The us 14th amendment specifies that one is a citizen at birth to the state in which one was born , just as one is a citizen of a country at birth ; thus , how would one go about getting dual citizenship for different us states , just in case states begin to refuse equal endowment to its non citizens such as not extending state social subsistence to them ?
The several States do not have authority to convey/grant citizenship. See Amendment X and attempt to locate in the Constitution where that power to grant citizenship is enumerated or implied anywhere, which isn't now superseded, is granted to the several States. Why is one required to go to places like a Federal Court House to complete the process of acquiring citizenship in the United States?
Your premise is smoke in the wind and truly displays your ignorance of history, civics and the Constitution! You're a wordy, supercilious fraud still pissing into the wind getting soaked, kid! Finish high school and get some experience under your belt by living about another decade, and for God's sake get thee to College and learn how to write proper prose!
Was that a sentence which was supposed to make the least bit of logical sense , considering you began with citizenship in a state with the 14th amendment and then ended up at an enumeration clause in the 10th amendment ?
ust because you have a prejudicial bias against accepting an acuity for literacy does not mean the statements are not present , or that their implications are not clear and evident , or that the statements are ignored in common law .

The only bias I hold regarding these exchanges is a distinct abhorrence of dishonest rodomonts with a penchant for playing fast and loose with the truth. You claimed that Amendment XIV, "...specifies that one is a citizen at birth to the state in which one was born...." That is patently false and NOT specified in the Amendment as you falsely claim! Amendment XIV clearly states at Amendment XIV § 1, Clause 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."
There can be a very a distinct difference between where a person is born and where they reside, your transparent "justifications", obfuscations and distortions notwithstanding. The ancient Greek city states have absolutely no bearing on the topic and are totally irrelevant to the discussion.
You previously stated;
The us 14th amendment of the constitution stipulates " within jurisdiction " in its phraseology ; and , any competent retort would address implications of that article .
To which I responded with;
"...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." ~~ Ibid ~~ [Emphasis added]
Again, you misquote the Amendment for your own purposes of misdirection. The Amendment does NOT stipulate the phrase "within jurisdiction" anywhere in its five Sections. Therefore, the only conclusion to be drawn is that your assertion is false and you err yet again!
And now you claim;
A paraphrase of " within its jurisdiction " as " within jurisdiction " is hardly a logical fallacy .
The only logical fallacy was yours using the straw man of an illusory and corrupt fallacy which YOU injected, completely avoiding the point I made. That being you LIED about your phrase, "within jurisdiction" being
STIPULATED in the Amendment, which it is not!. You tried to pawn it off as a paraphrasing
IN QUOTATION MARKS in your response, compounding your LIE! Your quotation marked "paraphrasing" was not a stipulation as you falsely claimed, but a LIE.
Leaving out the possessive pronoun 'its' in the phrase distorts the clarity of it as written in the Amendment, but is useful for you in your convoluted argumentation for various purposes as I've observed in this thread. Do you actually believe that "paraphrasing" by removing three(3) letters brings any clarity to the remainder? You bloody fraud!
Along with the "paraphrasing" crap above you included this garbage;
However , citizenship is a positive liberty and its endowment is determined by immigration policy , based upon " within its jurisdiction "
First, what the Constitution as amended in the 14th amendment says about "any person within its jurisdiction";
"...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."
I could give a shit less what political pseudo elite jargon you throw around claims. Go to the source for the intent! There, right above are the words amending the original Constitution which became part of the Contract with the People. Does that passage from the Amendment regarding your present or past wacko thesis of "within jurisdiction" or your new and revised "within its jurisdiction", support your claim as a panacea for all instances of conveyance of citizenship? It certainly does not!
The Amendment was not based on or in immigration policy per se, but rather in the conveyance of rights under Constitutional LAW! The meaning and intent of the phrase
"within its jurisdiction" of the last Clause of the first section of Amendment XIV extended those Federal protections to all people in all the States. It wasn't constructed for immigration purposes at all, and plucking away a single phrase to do other mischief not intended in its construction would be the Devils work of malcontents and other un-American miscreants.
And before your devious mind goes there, the Amendment, as written, did become useful in the instance of Wong Kim Ark in 1898 in discovering the broad intent of Amendment XIV within the somewhat tangential scope of immigration and citizenship.
You finished off that portion with this closing;
A paraphrase of " within its jurisdiction " as " within jurisdiction " is not a logical fallacy and it does not detract from the premise presented here in .
This redundant sophistry is now set aside as false and without effect of any truth. Trying to make a fine purse from a sows ear is fruitless, but as you grow into your maturity in years to come you may comprehend that worn homily.
But let's back up an look at the genesis of this sub-topic when you wrote this;
The us 14th amendment specifies that one is a citizen at birth to the state in which one was born , just as one is a citizen of a country at birth ; thus , how would one go about getting dual citizenship for different us states , just in case states begin to refuse equal endowment to its non citizens such as not extending state social subsistence to them ?
To which I responded with this;
Dual citizenship is a non-starter. The several States do not have authority to convey/grant citizenship. See Amendment X and attempt to locate in the Constitution where that power to grant citizenship is enumerated or implied anywhere, which isn't now superseded, is granted to the several States. Why is one required to go to places like a Federal Court House to complete the process of acquiring citizenship in the United States
You wrote in your closing remarks of the post to which I'm responding;
Was that a sentence which was supposed to make the least bit of logical sense , considering you began with citizenship in a state with the 14th amendment and then ended up at an enumeration clause in the 10th amendment ?
Your absurd suggestion of dual State citizenship was the main topic addressed using Amendment XIV as the springboard to launch that inane idiocy. First, I like to know where your, ":..enumeration clause in the 10th amendment...." even exists! Amendment X consists of a single brief sentence stating the following;
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people."
Do you see any enumeration clause there? How about a State's Constitutional authority to convey citizenship as a power left to the several States? In other words, how could a State even consider your uniformed proposition of,
"...how would one go about getting dual citizenship for different us states , just in case states begin to refuse equal endowment to its non citizens such as not extending state social subsistence to them ?"
I made an incorrect assumption that you actually had some slight modicum of understanding of the enumerated powers of Congress and in particular, Article I, § 8, Clause 4 which delegated the SOLE POWER, "To establish a uniform rule of naturalization...." to Congress. That meaning the several States had none, thereby closing the door on that path.
The powers of the States and their role in granting citizenship was at the heart of your highlighted question above. If you couldn't follow that logic, you need remedial help, and I won't overly estimate your knowledge base or cognitive abilities again in that respect. It is no wonder you were so confused about why I went to Amendment X to uproot your fantasies!
And yet you're STILL pissing into the wind and confused about the dampness!
