  • Agreed, it would be a fucking mess, particularly if some of the states that are supporting Texas join in secession. But if there isn’t a border, there isn’t a country. And 2 million a year is beyond sustainable, and with zero vetting is beyond stupid and beyond dangerous. Who is coming in? MS13, Hamas/ ISIS? Trafficked children? Or is every single one just looking for a better life.

    We have immigration laws, and the Biden administration isn’t following them. They are in fact, actively ignoring/breaking them.

    Why?


  • I reconsidered because I thought someone would misrepresent/ misconstrue my meaning. Congrats.

    If the shooting starts, it won’t be the old scooter patrol on the front lines on the Texas border. It will be a guerilla war and the targets won’t be pregnant women. People who lack critical thinking skills or haven’t studied history think bombs and tanks matter in that sort of war. Hurr durr, no one can stand up to the military. Lol








  • He’s not a natural born citizen. so

    1. Article 2 Section 1 Clause 5 lists the requirements

    2. Neither side of the uniparty would nominate him.

    Before anyone else tries the “self executing” nonsense about the 14th:

    From Wikiedia:

    Section 3 does not specify how it is to be invoked, but Section 5 says Congress has enforcement power. Accordingly, Congress enforced Section 3 by enacting Sections 14 and 15 of the Enforcement Act of 1870, the pertinent portion of which was repealed in 1948; there is still a current federal statute (18 U.S.C. § 2383) that was initially part of the Confiscation Act of 1862 (and revised in 1948), disqualifying insurrectionists from federal office.[194] Moreover, each house of Congress can expel or exclude members for insurrection or other reasons, although it is uncertain whether more votes may be required to expel than to exclude.[195][196][197] A further way that Congress can enforce Section 3 is via impeachment, and even prior to the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment Congress impeached and disqualified federal judge West Humphreys for insurrection.[198]



  • The 14th Amendment Section 3 is self executing

    Please list all other “self executing” clauses.

    Then explain how this one is unique.

    Edit: From Wikipedia (yes, I know),

    Section 3 in NOT self executing, it is up to Congress. Trump was impeached and not convicted. Full stop. The judges that voted for this should themselves be impeached.




  • Where is the due process in a court “deciding” someone is guilty of something?

    Down votes for asking a question. I guess some folks are uncomfortable with the question.

    If you can be found guilty of something without a trial, you no longer live in a democracy regardless of what you prefer to pretend.

    Edit from elsewhere in the thread for the down voters
