Birthright Citizenship Faces Arizona

Do we recall the Tea Party and its subservient wing, The GOP, talking up the Constitution and how the Constitution was being violated by Obama, lots of Constitution talk, and its big news all over FOX.

Constitution.

Well, the Republican controlled State of Arizona, now wants to bring forth legislation in direct conflict with the 14th Amendment to that very same Constitution.

Do I smell a conflict here, or possibly a little itty bitty bit of hypocrisy?

Constitution.

CS Monitor: Immigration fight: Bill to end 'birthright citizenship' advances in Arizona
In a challenge to US Constitution’s 14th Amendment, a Senate panel in the Republican-controlled state legislature late Tuesday gave the green light to two companion bills that would deny automatic US citizenship, sometimes called "birthright citizenship," to children born to illegal immigrants.

So much for original intent etc. The Reich only farts that tune for the parts of the Constitution it likes.

The problem here is that the Tea GOP Party wants to roll back rights all over the place. They want people who don't own property off the voting rolls. So right of the bat you have to ask yourself, would they be content with abolishing the 14th amendment. The answer of course is no. They would not stop there. So they have to be confronted now.
