Nice thought, but not going to happen when the GOP establishment shares democrats immigration and refuses the SAVE America Act.

What's next?

Grandstanding.

He knows it's got as much chance as a fart on a windy day.

I guess he wants to "get people on record" for voting against it.

Like we don't already know who will vote against it.

I'll never understand this board. Rand is doing things by the rules and people bitch about it. Then they bitch when their obviously unconstitutional methods get slapped down.

We recognize it as political theater.

Congress can’t pass a SAVE act with 85% of the People’s support.

Amending the constitution is a pipe dream.

Exactly and sadly, Justice Thomas' dissent is a consultation prize.

This was always the way. The wording of the actual law gave far too much to those who would gleefully play linguistic gymnastics with it.

Rand's proposal:

quote:

Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to protect United States citizenship.

That the following article is proposed as an amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which shall be valid to all intents and purposes as part of the Constitution when ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years after the date of its submission for ratification:

“article —
“ section 1. For purposes of the 14th article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States, a person may be considered to be ‘subject to the jurisdiction of the United States’ only in accordance with section 2.

“ section 2. A person born in the United States may only be considered ‘subject to the jurisdiction of the United States' if the person is born in the United States of parents, one of whom is—

“(1) a citizen or national of the United States;

“(2) an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the United States whose residence is in the United States; or

“(3) an alien with lawful status under the immigration laws performing active service in the Armed Forces.

“ section 3. Congress shall have the power to carry out this article through appropriate legislation.”.


If people seriously want this issue addressed, they need to hammer the frick out of their members of Congress at every townhall, restaurant, gas station, grocery store, airport, etc. until it's passed by both chambers and sent to the states.

Maga hates when someone in Congress actually tries to do their job. It should all just be done by executive order instead.

The unfortunate reality is playing by the rules gets you nowhere these days. It’s why the left wins and the GOP twiddles their thumbs and says “oh well we tried”

It's grandstanding. He knows it has no chance but still makes it known that he has introduced it. To get people like you to say, "look at Rand. Doing it by the book." If he was really serious, he would be the FIRST Senator to lead the charge to remove Thune, get a Leader to nuke the filibuster and pass everything they can for the next two years that would take Democrats 20 years of power to unravel.

Mike Lee is a brilliant constitutional scholar. If he is saying this is the way, it is...

Sadly, I also think he is the only one pushing Thune...pointing out they hàve the votes for the SAVE America bill...

They don't want it, as they share the Democrats thoughts on immigration and fought Trump in 2017 on immigration and the wall.

They could pass it in a minute and fully take on the democrats. They want Speaker Hakeem to impeach Trump. There is no 3D plan, don't waste time thinking there is. Trump is surrounded.

So what can we do to peacefully force Congress critters to represent us and do their jobs?

Hold your angst for Massie and others...Fauci was pardoned. Rand sent a criminal referral on Fauci.

I wonder how much of this can be dealt with at the state level by delineating who is eligible to vote in state elections because Congress isn’t going to do anything and an amendment is a pipe dream.
