Trump will announce end of birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants, officials say

[martybegan]

Hardly.

Math isn't your strong suit.

31 states to 19.

To pass an amendment you need 3/4 of the States, so 34 States.

So the Right only needs 3 more states to get their amendments, the left would need far more.

Democrats hold the majority in 40 state legislative chambers.

Democrats hold the majority in 40 state legislative chambers.

Yeah, where did you get that number from?

Gubernatorial and legislative party control of state government

Republicans have the "trifecta" or control of the governor and either the single house or both houses in over 20 States by this map.

Care to adjust your statement?

My map is from the same source, and they show 20+ states totally controlled by Republicans.

Again, care to clarify your number?

Clarify yours, and your numbers are far too low to hope for convention domination.

I did. my map shows over 20 states with total republican control. How can 40 state's legislatures be controlled by dems?

Hmmm... neither party has a clear domination of sufficient legislatures to control a convention.

 

[martybegan]

Hmmm... neither party has a clear domination of sufficient legislatures to control a convention.

So are you wrong about 40 legislatures being controlled by dems, yes or no?

And how did you come up with that number, you addled ****?

Republicans are a lot closer.

You are talking in the mirror. I told you ballotpedia.

Another progressive cuck who can't admit they were wrong.

Pathetic.

Your mind is melting.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Again, the debates they had explain all of that.

Debates are not law. What they put in writing in the 14th is.

There are 99 state legislatures, dumbass. Nebraska is the only state with one. Every other state has two. 40/99 is a lot smaller than 40/50.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

And it takes one house in the state legislature to invalidate state's one vote count to ratify an amendment at convention.

Think, Admiral.

US Birthright is an 156 year old law.

I've on various occasions, yet another part of your constitution that's out of date. It needs a major overhaul, bring it up-to-date to the noughties

Actually jus soli for free persons goes back to the founding of the country or around 238 years an is inhereted from English Common Law.

The exclusions being ambassadors and foergin ministers (and their families as part of diplomatic missions), Native Americans on tribal lands (they were considered a sovereign nation), and of course invading from another nation occupying US soil.

That's when the 14th Amendment was passed. But jus soli in this country goes back to it's founding, with certain exceptions (slaves, diplomats, and Native Americans), and is based on English Common Law at the time of the Constitution.

Going back to Sir William Blackstone's commentaries on English Law: "“The first and most obvious division of the people is into aliens and natural-born subjects. Natural-born subjects are such as are born within the dominions of the crown of England . . . and aliens, such as are born out if it.”
