The Congress grandstands and is reselected. The professional bodies who one thinks ought be opposed remain indifferent. The best way out is De-Federalize.

"...announced his intention to disregard the 14th Amendment’s assurance of birthright citizenship..."

I'm not sure who wrote the intro just before the article, and said they trust John Whitehad's constitutionalism but Mr. Whitehead is 100% WRONG on 14th amendment, which does NOT guarantee "birthright" citizenship, there is NO such thing under U.S. constitution. It actually says just the opposite which is that anyone who is under a foreign power (is a citizen of another country) and has a child in the U.S. does NOT get to have their child become a U.S. citizen. This is VERY CLEAR if you read the 14th amendment, also this article is very clear about it, which states:

"The 14th Amendment doesn’t say that all persons born in the U.S. are citizens. It says that “[a]ll persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof” are citizens. That second, critical, conditional phrase is conveniently ignored or misinterpreted by advocates of “birthright” citizenship."

I've found copies of constitution which has changed the words and therefore the meaning of this amendment so that it looks like it says anyone born in U.S. is a U.S. citizen. This is NOT correct, if you read it carefully and do your research.

As for the rest of the article, it compares Trump to Hitler and makes it sound as if Trump is now a dictator. I"ve found that this is something the left/deep state loves to do so that it looks like Trump is a dictator. My response to this is: we have ENEMY COMBATANTS pouring in through the border and they are still coming here today. They mean harm to our country and it is clear deep state intends to use these criminals/cartel members as soldiers to arrest and/or execute American citizens. Deep state is completely ignoring our laws and our constitution, I've seen this myself for years; under this kind of situation, an emergency has been declare which it should be. That also means martial law should be used because the enemy is within our border and by "enemy" I include cartel members and our own politicians, many if not most of who are criminals themselves who have been hard at work to undermind and destroy America. That is EXACTLY what martial law is for and if Trump didn't do that he would be remiss in his job as our president. I've followed him for 45 yrs, he ALWAYS does everything strictly according to the law. It appears to me that Mr. Whitehead is trying to make Trump look like the enemy - I would say that it looks like Mr. Whitehead is on the side of the enemy, which would also make him a traitor to our country. I don't know him so don't know if I'm correct but this is what it looks like to me. He has done a hit piece on President Trump. Martial law is exactly what is needed as we have people in office who are intent on destroying our nation. I say this as the daughter of an admiral who was in WW2 and taught me a lot about the military.

Correct...only some one born to an American Citizen ALREADY is then a citizen...that this gentleman fails to understand this undermines his arguement. See lots of TDS but the reality is NONE of the three branches functions as the Constitution directs. The Congress as its power can sit in quorum as a COURT and can send folks to jail. Have you watched the bureaucrats OPENLY lie at these hearing and NOTHING happens?

Beautifully stated, thank you. As to your last sentence - yes, have watched that, with great difficulty. We don't have statesmen any more, we have criminals running our govt. I think Trump is letting them hang themselves with their lies, wanting We the People to see how evil our govt is and exposing them.

Glad you said some of what I would have said and saved me the trouble. This "liberal hit piece" was a waste of my precious time that I will never get back, and only irritated my common sense with its misqoutes and leftist insinuations. What really sets my head ablaze is the article "sucked me in" with the claims of being about the Constitutional merits of the writer. What a crock of shii. Then it was polished off with the ridiculous "Hitler" accusations. I will say outright that I am no Trump fan or cheerleader, but his executive orders are mostly required for reversing the leftist woke policies and bullshit and undoing the extreme damage that was done under O'brandon, the "rhinos", and the administrative state in their 4 year psycotic communitarian blitz. I can only hope he doesn't slow down in his bid to rid us of the anti-white, DEI, LGBTQ, illegal invasion, and the zealous lawfare weaponization of government that has almost completely destroyed what little good, honerable, and right that was remaining of our great experiment of a Constitutional Republic after. the last 25 years following the 911 trickery that has been ushering in the FAKE anti terrorism "ACTS" and the horrendous, green communitarian agenda. For anyone who actually wants to know something about the where-abouts of our REAL State Constitutions and where they are buried and why, I will suggest listening to a short 17 minute youtube video of certified archivist, federal bar card holder, and Chief of the Kikialis Tribe, Kurt Riggin, explaining his experience at the national archives with several other legal scholars and researchers.

Thank you for the links, much appreciated. I hear your frustration re: this article and I felt the same way. He sounds like a deep state shill IMO.

You are 100% correct regarding the 14th Amendment.

Yeah, I've reminded this article 3 times with 2 different cover sheets.
