Why the 14th amendment does not bestow ‘birthright citizenship’

As Ann Coulter and Mark Levin point out, Congress has the power to establish the laws governing Naturalization (citizenship), according to Art 1, Sect 8, clause 4.

The 14th amendment (ratified 1868), section 1, was written to establish, once and for all, that slaves freed after the Civil War were, in fact, American citizens…and as such, “subject to the jurisdiction thereof”.

That amendment does not preclude Art 1, Sect 8, clause 4.

Besides, an illegal immigrant is a citizen of the country they came from, therefore, under that country’s ‘jurisdiction’ in citizenship matters. It’s not too much of a stretch to acknowledge, then, that a baby born to them would fit in that category as well.

There’s no such thing as ‘birthright citizenship’ for illegal immigrants.

Unless, of course…you’re a political Party seeking new voters…

(…or until you get the mealy-mouthed lawyers involved).

Use the looming Hillary prosecution to nab other high-level offenders

In the inevitable case against Clinton for email improprieties, don’t stop with her.

The prosecution will need to demonstrate how communications should be properly handled, so why not list other top-level Obama appointees as witnesses to testify?

Not only will Hillary’s goose get cooked, but others may become embroiled. After all, they have to take an oath before testifying – and who knows what information the prosecution may have from THEIR lower level employees…with axes to grind?

We see Treasury, Justice, EPA, Health & Human Services as a great place to start.

What do you call senior level Obama appointees in the same cooking pot?

A good place to start.

If a heart beats in the forest, and nobody hears it…is it still a life?

Ever cut through the face of a baby, to harvest it’s brain?

No?

Planned Parenthood has.

Even the most die-hard abortion fan must be sickened by this latest video. It also describes details of baby hearts still beating, which means ‘born alive’.

For the low-info crowd, killing a baby deemed alive is against the law…murder.

You probably won’t hear about this anywhere in mainstream media.

Real journalism didn’t just die…

…Democrats aborted it…a long time ago.

The REAL question – did Hillary’s vulnerable email fiasco cause Benghazi?

Has anyone asked the question yet?

Did (then) Secretary-of-State Clinton’s vulnerable emails discuss the real reason for that Benghazi location being used (speculated) as a weapons clearance house?

Can the real reason she went after a video-maker be she was deflecting blame…

…from herself? 

If her hacked emails revealed she discussed the actual purpose of that location, it provides motive for the terror groups who attacked, ultimately killing four Americans.

Did Hillary’s vulnerable email fiasco CAUSE the American murders in Benghazi?

An NRO headline proclaims:

“The Comical Dishonesty of Clinton’s Email Press Conference”

Comical?

If any of her hacked emails gave terrorists reason for Benghazi…

who’s laughing?

They acted fast against the ‘video-caused-Benghazi’ maker, why not now against Hillary?

When Obama and Hillary lied about video causing the Benghazi tragedy, they fast-walked the process to get the video-maker jailed, didn’t they?

Yet, now we have Hillary, with classified emails dripping out of her personal server as she lies about their existence, and not a single charge has been filed.

Damn strange how our legal process can be fast-walked…or slow-walked…

…isn’t it?

Any doubts the State Dept is scrubbing data, to hide further Clinton indiscretions?

Strangest thing of all, Congress has a Plan B they seem reluctant to use…the NSA.

Everyone knows the NSA casts a wide net, on phone calls AND emails. Argument against intel-gathering falls on deaf ears, when our national security is evoked.

But, if Hillary jeopardized national security, shouldn’t that be reason to demand the NSA put into action the mechanism to produce such worrisome emails of hers…

…or are they busy scrubbing there as well?

Just askin’…

Hillary’s Email-gate did not start just a few months ago

BCP noted earlier that Hillary Clinton can be charged with spoliation of evidence.

Some of the more predictable Clintonistas take exception to that earlier blog which suggests our ‘several years of congressional hearings’ reference is inaccurate.

They say Email-gate took form this year, but ‘forget’ Benghazi special hearings took place starting late September 2012…and Hillary was still Secretary of State…

…which means there was a ‘reasonable expectation of civil proceedings’…unless of course Clintonistas in our midst suggest her emails in that period were irrelevant?

As Secretary of State, her communications then were extremely important.

Thus, Clinton’s obligation to preserve email communications was relevant as early as September 2012, and subsequent acts of wiping the server clean…criminal.

Have ‘spoliation of evidence’ charges been filed…?

Anyone…anyone…?
