Comments on: UPDATED: ‘Justice Brennan’s Footnote Gave Us Anchor Babies’ https://barelyablog.com/justice-brennans-footnote-gave-us-anchor-babies/ by ilana mercer Wed, 02 Apr 2025 19:29:09 +0000 hourly 1 By: NJ_Patriot https://barelyablog.com/justice-brennans-footnote-gave-us-anchor-babies/comment-page-1/#comment-11496 Sat, 07 Aug 2010 02:00:08 +0000 http://barelyablog.com/?p=28232#comment-11496 Myron, maybe you can produce even one statement where anyone, idiot or otherwise, indicates that Republicans are perfect and should rule the planet in any sense.

While we’re waiting for you to produce those supporting facts, I can say that if Republicans had been in sole possession of political power for the last 50 or 100 years, the country would be in immeasurably better (if not perfect) shape today. To deny that makes one an idiot by any definition.

Schwarzenegger was a Reagan/Bush appointee – so all those “if only Republicans ruled the planet” idiots should just zip it!

In any case, even if the baby is a citizen, the parents should be deported and the baby put up for adoption if the parents don’t want to take the baby back (in which case, the baby is no longer “subject to the jurisdiction thereof”). So either there is a new adopted baby for American parents or the baby heads back to YaYaLand.

As for the welfare state – end it, don’t mend it!

As for idiot judges, I am more convinced in the efficacy of impeachment – one or two examples will get the judiciary into line! For example, the one (of two) openly gay Federal judge gets to overturn ALL state constitutions based on “modern understandings” and “international law” – I don’t care much either way on gay marriage but idiotic judges will ruin whatever remnant of limited government and local autonomy still exists.

As far as my experience goes, she has never been wrong, only less right in a few circumstances. She has more substantive balls than most in government (all Democrats and almost all Republicans). And that includes the phony audaciousness of king Obama.
Her simple and unassailable explanation of the 14th amendment should not require an intellectual defense of any kind, but as we just witnessed in the California prop 8 case, the written constitution is no longer of particular relevance in this once great country.

You must have posted those articles during the time I was taking my sabbatical at the top of the Matterhorn where I was contemplating my navel and pondering the meaning of life.

Is it too late to do anything about it? Probably so as I’m sure some set in stone precedent is now in effect and can only be rescinded by some sort of amendment to the Constitution. I certainly don’t want to start throwing amendments around because with today’s political, social climate we would probably end up with rhesus monkeys getting the vote. I guess we are stuck with the “anchor babies”. A revolting development.

[Double shame, b/c this writer has written about the 14th. Search the articles archive.]
