A nation cannot be united if different groups have different basic rights...

Putting birthright citizenship in the Constitution meant:

         No state could override it

         No future Congress could undo it

         No court could reinterpret it away

It became a locked-in guarantee.

 

The U.S. needed:

  A way to prevent states from creating secondclass populations

To abolish a constitutional amendment, a new amendment must be proposed and ratified. This requires a two-thirds majority in both houses of Congress or a constitutional convention called by two-thirds of state legislatures, followed by ratification from three-fourths of the states. Only one amendment, the 18th Amendment, has ever been repealed in this manner.

The one instance of an amendment appeal, the 21st Amendment, shows how this unusual process works. The 18th Amendment ratified in 1919 prohibited “the manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors” nationwide under most circumstances. By the early 1930s, Prohibition had become unpopular and Congress passed the 21st Amendment, with its repeal provision, in February 1933 just before Franklin Roosevelt became President. The amendment proposed for ratification included language never used before but permitted under Article V: state conventions (and not state legislatures) would be called for ratification votes, out of fear the temperance lobby would influence state lawmakers.

We have an out of control republican party that doesn't care about anyone but the super rich. Over a million job losses, out of control prices on groceries,utilities etc.   A 400 million dollar ball room and million people on the street. It doesn't add up.   All we hear is more bs and lies .  The  national debt is spiraling  out of control and a billion dollars a day spent on dangerous war.   Really!

Benji, your TDS level is showing elevated today......BTW, who exactly is paying for that ballroom ? Taxpayers or private donations ??.....Now, you didn't have any problems when gas was at $4/gal just a few short years ago and inflation was at 9.1% and businesses were shut down for Covid. Not a single peep as I recall. The folks on the street have been going on for decades. Barry had 8 years and Joe had 4, yet you had no problem with it during those times. You didn't have any issue when Barry was leader and he achieved more debt than all the previous 43 elected folks before him ??   Your outrage seems selected and restricted. But, please hang in there. Good luck on your next lottery purchase

* The felon said that it’s not the Federal government’s job to care about Medicaid & Medicare of daycare or affordability. That should be handled by the States, and get this..

* Trump said the govt’s job is defending & preparing for WARS. So, we as citizens are paying taxes to fund wars? I wasn’t told that, I didn’t know that, did you?🤨🤨🤨

Benji..lets get something thoroughly straight and perfectly clear. Your approval and respect is as useless a b*lls on a Boston Priest. Nobody on this entire site respects you and definitely doesn't need your approval or anyone needs approval from any of your ilk. Is that clear enough or am I being too obtuse for you ?
