No, this is what you said

Stupid laws are stupid. And people legitimizing stupid laws are behaving stupidly.


It's a completely dishonest framing to make any response thereto absurd within that framing.

And you completely ignore that "stupid laws are stupid" isn't a relevant argument. If the amendment is stupid, the proper response is to amend the Constitution (again). That's the entire point of the amendment process.

I am saying is that a Court has more than enough wiggle room to find that birthright citizenship does not apply to people born here from parents who do not permanently reside here (whatever that exactly means)

That could affect the birth tourism people, but not the illegal immigrants domiciled here, unless they want to both (1) ignore what domicile meant at the time and (2) upend current federal definitions of domicile, which do not require legal status.

Illegal immigrants can be permanently domiciled here.

Is not the same as

Will you keep doubling down on your dishonesty? I think you will. Let’s see!….

It's funny that you ignore this

Which is the referenced framing.

I addressed the other comment directly.

If the law is "absurd", then change it legally. In this instance, amend the Constitution.

*ETA: before you crawfish and double down on the strawman, note the "and" in the initial response separating the 2.

You're declaring it unilaterally absurd and then proclaiming any response is akin to literal stone age barbarism.

You could have just said, “sorry I misread your post” and then addressed it honestly. But that’s not your style. Every day you start anew reminding everyone why you are universally loathed on this board.

Supreme Court hasn’t ever ruled on constitutional standing of that issue. May not take an amendment

Your white flag was raised pages back.

You can still participate by responding properly and not pulling a drive by gotcha attempt like VOR.

I said a very specific type of argument for birthright citizenship was like suggesting women who commit adultery should be stoned. You then said I suggested ANY argument against birthright citizenship was in that same vein.

It’s not a big deal and a decent person would recognize the error and move on. You apparently are not that person. The fact you can’t admit the mistake reveals far more about you than the mischaracterization you made about me.

Yes, and that argument is discussing the actual law, ultimately

And you ignored the response to your "absurd" comments

quote:

I agree. That's why we have an amendment process.

Why do you keep ignoring this? There is a solution and that's the solution.


...why?

Is it because the amendment process is the "the law is the law" argument you already compared to death by stoning?

You bowed out of any honest discussion by failing to even state a position, let alone defend one.

You've since just shown up for snipes and no substance, as is to be expected.

Here is your comment:

Which was a reply to mine:

And if the premise of your argument is “it’s the law therefore it must not be absurd” then you are no better than someone who advocates stoning a woman for adultery based on biblical precedent.

You’re just wrong.

If it's retroactive he'll lose every single latino vote we fought so hard to get. If it's not, most of them will agree with it.

The "absurdity" position was addressed directly. You've ignored me pointing it out...4 times now?

Again, just showing your lack of honesty.

I literally just did in the post to which you just replied....again, why?

If your position is the law is absurd, then there is a process to amend it.

But that would require using "the law", which means the amendment process must not be absurd, which, I suppose means that bringing up the amendment process is stoning a woman. Is that why you've continued to ignore it? Or are you showing how your dishonest framing is being used?
