[QUOTE="Old Man Jingles, post: 3804250, member: 18222"] I agree. Regardless of the fact that this amendment was put in place to provide citizenship to slaves, [U]it is an[/U] Amendment to the Constitution. It was never meant to apply to 'illegal' aliens as there was no such thing in the post-Civil War period. I don't see the strict Constitutionalism of the Conservative Justices are going to latch onto the [B]bolded[/B] "phrase" "All persons born or naturalized in the United States [B]and subject to the jurisdiction thereof[/B], are citizens of the United States." The Liberal Justices would hook on this like Velcro if it was something they believed in but not the other Justices. The Conservative Justices will throw it to the Congress where this decision should be adjudicated. [/QUOTE]
