It didn't take long. There is now a spate of articles by leftists denouncing President Trump for suggesting that he could end birthright citizenship by executive order and then going further to state that Trump should be impeached if he attempts to issue such an order. Get it? There's no reason to discuss whether or not the President has the power to end birthright citizenship. According to the left, he does not, and there's no reason for any further consideration of that issue. Indeed, any attempt to try such a thing is grounds to throw the President out of office.
There's nothing like the closed mind of the average leftist pundit/politician. The entire basis for birthright citizenship is the 14th Amendment. None of these articles explain how it could be that for 100 years after the adoption of the 14th Amendment there was no birthright citizenship. None of these articles try to explain why the senator who drafted the language in the 14th Amendment said in the floor debate that the Amendment would not apply to children of foreigners who happened to be in the USA. No, those are not issues to be discussed. The result is simply announced and then everyone must follow it or be impeached.
That's not even the only good example of a closed leftist mind today. Senator Chris Murphy, the Democrat who embarrassingly represents my state of Connecticut commented today on the story that a woman is about to come forward to charge the special prosecutor Robert Mueller with sexually abusing her and Mueller's response that he has referred the matter to the FBI to investigate claims that the woman was paid off to make a false claim of that sort. Murphy's comment was that this was an example of President Trump's "octopus like corruption machine." Get it? Neither Murphy nor anyone else knows the details of the alleged claim against Mueller. It could be a claim like the phony one Michael Avenatti pushed against Justice Kavanaugh or it could be one with great support. We don't know. Neither Murphy nor anyone else has any basis for claiming that President Trump was involved in any way in arranging for this woman to come forward. Most likely he had nothing whatsoever to do with the entire thing. It doesn't matter. Murphy has pronounced Trump guilty of arranging for a false claim to be made against saint Robert Mueller, and that's despicable. All that "believe the woman" crap that Murphy was pushing just a few weeks ago is now out the window. The idea that one needs evidence before accusing someone of wrongdoing is likewise out the window. Murphy's view is completely irrational.
Look, I don't know how the Supreme Court would rule on birthright citizenship. I do recognize, however, that there are arguments on both sides. Most rational people also recognize that fact. I have no basis for judging a possible claim of wrong doing by Mueller. We will have to hear the allegations and investigate them to see if there is credible evidence to support them. I have no basis for blaming the President for these claims coming out now. Again, rational people would agree with that.
This is the biggest problem we have right now in having the politicians in this country work together. When one side is completely irrational in its actions and beliefs, there really is no way to get people to work together. It's both dangerous to our society and very sad as well.
