I don't know what is more hilarious: The C-section part or the "drive to make life fair" part.

I broke out laughing when he called Chicago safer for gun violence than...than anywhere! To be fair, he did admit he didn't know the statistics. Not knowing stuff seems to be a requirement for being a liberal.

I'm kind of surprised that got printed, to be honest. Obviously an editor with a sense of humor that knew it was too good to pass-up

I would say that might be the dumbest, least informed human being on Earth, but I bet close to half of the electorate is just as ignorant.

Very true. I'd be curious to see how many people would agree with his definition of "natural born citizen".

Amazing thing is it's reasonably well written, so the shear stupidity of some of the statements is surprising.

THere are idiotic democrats and republicans. But this goes beyond any of that. My gut tells me that this letter was written as a gag by someone who was trying to make a point. No way to prove that, but that's me guess.

You just can't believe someone would be this drunk on Democrat Kool Aid, can you? Have you seen the Obamaphone video from last Fall? Have you seen the "Obamamoney" video from Detroit? Have you ever seen Al Sharpton or Ed Schulz rant incoherently? Certainly you know the Kool Aid is strong. ;)

Well...just to point out...under Justice Scalia's theory textualist/originalist constitutional jurisprudence wherein you ought to infer the meaning of the words in the Constitution based upon their plain language meaning at the time they were written...you might argue that "natural born" did not include C-section's since they weren't performed until 1881 under that theory.

It's not totally outrageous...

I actually find it kind of interesting.

The problem is arguing that the term meant something a hundred years from being invented.

Well I agree there may be some problems with it but that is Scalia's whole jurisprudence right? He interprets the constitution based upon the following principle; "it's what did the words mean to the people who ratified the bill of rights or who ratified the Constitution."

I don't really agree but I do find it interesting that a person being rejected as an obvious liberal to be dismissed out of hand is basically articulating something that may follow from that particular method of constitutional interpretation that is promoted by a famous Conservative jurist.

And what was meant by those who ratified was not a method of giving birth. Its geographical location or within the jurisdiction of the US. Determines natural citizens by birth with no legal process necessary to attain it. "Naturalized" for those born outside the boundaries or jurisdiction of the US who had to go through a legal process to be granted citizenship. That was the intent of the founders.

You're trying to twist an "Originalist" interpretation as something ridiculous. When in now way shape or form could anyone come to this conclusion by using it. The dude that wrote the article is not very bright.

I think any chance of this guy being smart enough to come to the ignorant conclusion you have come up with went out the window when he mentioned Chicago a safe city and the constitution being written a 100 years ago.

Well said. This was a plant...a sandbagger if you will. Probably written by one with the political views of Quaker Oats.

And I'm sure there are some that believe Obama was birthed through the anus.:D
