"Is Birthright Citizenship Constitutional?" Tucker and Enrique DEBATE

Article 1 Section 8 Clause 4 gives Congress the authority over naturalization of people. So, there is no need to amend the Constitution, as with Article 5. Congress would only need to pass a bill or a resolution clarifying the intent of the framers of the 14th Amendment.

The Court ruled in the case of Wong Kim Ark that a child born in the U.S. of legal aliens,(not illegal aliens) was entitled to “birthright citizenship.” Same is true to legal U.S. citizens who have a child born outside the states. That child is a U.S. citizen, as is the case with John McCain, who was born in Panama to parents who were U.S. citizens.   

The Supreme Court is not infallible. They have ruled incorrectly many times. They incorrectly legislated from the bench in their most recent decisions on ObamaCare and Gay Marriage to name a few. 

Do you believe the framers of the 14th Amendment meant to give power and authority to illegal aliens to bestow US citizenship on the birth of their child simply by having the baby on U.S. soil?

I think not, because Congress passed The Indian Citizenship Act of 1924, wherein, it bestowed citizenship on all Native Americans born within the territorial limits of the country.

Trump meeting with Putin draws criticism from Republicans

To all the DemonRATS, anti-Trump RINOs and the propaganda media upset with President Donald Trump suspicions of the United States Intelligence Community need only look to these lying corrupt anti-Trump individuals in the FBI, DOJ and Intelligence Community:

Hussein Obama’s CIA Director John Brennan

Hussein Obama’s NSA Director James Clapper

 Hussein Obama’s FBI Director James Comey

Interim FBI Director Andrew McCabe

Acting AG Rod Rosenstein

Peter Strozk

Lisa Page

Special Consul Robert Mueller

These are not honorable people and need to be held accountable.

Exclusive interview with Papa John's founder John Schnatter

Papa John Schnatter was being grilled by a leftist propaganda marketing group Laundry Service was supposed to be helping Papa John's with their public relations on a conference call in May 2018, over his opposition to the anti-police, anti-military, anti- Trump, anti-flag, anti- National anthem, un-American kneeling thugs in the NFL. They baited and asked him what he was going to do to distance himself from the Ku Klux Klan (KKK).  What these leftists were asking Papa John was why are you a “racist?” And what are you going to do about it? He apparently got frustrated with the question, because he is NOT a racist, and responded by saying, “Colonel Sanders called blacks niggers,” and he never faced the same grade of backlash.” Papa John is NOT a racist so how do you prove a negative? He should have “put the shoe on the other foot” and asked the interviewer, why do you have sex with animals? 
 Two weeks after the call Laundry Service tried to extort Schnatter. Schnatter said, "They wanted 6 million dollars to make it go away. ... The words were, 'If I don't get my effing money, I'm gonna bury the founder,' said one of the executives. I'm not for sale."

What Papa John Schnatter said was the TRUTH. Nevertheless, because of his proper stance against the National Felon League’s disrespectful players he is being vilified by the leftist DemonRATS and the propaganda media.

Jimmy the Greek said the TRUTH about blacks on Monday Night Football and was fired for it. Hussein Obama was called "Head Nigga" at the correspondent’s dinner and everyone laughed about it, including Obama. LBJ said that with welfare he would have the niggers voting Democrat for two hundred years. FYI people it is OK to be WHITE.

Voting NO on PDMP was the Right thing to do!

Patrick Martin is the Editor of the Arnold-Imperial Leader Newspaper and is upset that the Jefferson County Council did not pass a Prescription Drug Monitoring Database, (PDMP). He wrote a scathing editorial in the May 4, 2017 edition titled, “Voting No on drug monitoring not just dumb—it’s dereliction of duty” chastising the four members of the Jefferson County Council who voted against the measure causing its defeat. The four members are District 1 Councilman Don Bickowski, District 2 Renee Reuter, District 3 Bob Boyer and District 4 Charles Groeteke. Their vote was not a dereliction of duty as he claims, but was the responsible thing to do. They should be commended for abiding by the oath they took to uphold the Constitution when they voted down the PDMP legislation.
Martin wrote, “Sixty-nine people died in Jefferson County in 2016 from drug overdoses. To four members of the Jefferson County Council who voted against joining the PDMP, those deaths and the hundreds or thousands of people affected by them apparently are secondary to goose-stepping (is that a NAZI reference) to the Tea Party March.” Martin is calling for a recall petition against these four council members.
It is obvious; Pat Martin is a typical leftist DemonRAT, who does not believe in the Constitution. Apparently, Martin is unaware that these elected representatives of Jefferson County, including Ken Waller, before taking office, "shall take and subscribe to an oath or affirmation" (79.260) before a court of record or the city clerk. The written oath is filed with the city clerk. Failure to take the oath vacates the office. “I, . . . ., do solemnly swear that I will support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Missouri”…
Bickowski, Reuter, Boyer and Groeteke’s vote against PDMP shows is they take seriously that oath to uphold the Constitution. Evidently Executive Ken Waller and those supporting the PDMP do not. Since the Fourth Amendment states, “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.” So, the database is a violation of the people’s right to privacy. Whatever happened to doctor-patient confidentiality?
Waller, who supports the database, claimed, “It’s sad that people just don’t do the right thing (vote for a PDMP). The bottom line is that it didn’t pass and more people are going to die and they are not going to do anything about it.” News Flash; people will die regardless of a PDMP. And No! The sad day is when an elected official wants to violate people’s rights and their oath of office.
The supporters of the bill apparently have forgotten or are unaware about the NSA spying on American citizens, the IRS intimidation of Constitutional Tea Party groups and Governor Jay Nixon using the DOR to target gun owners. This is another database that will be used to control the people. If there IS a database, the Government can get access to it and can use the information against the people. Case in point, on 5/30/14, 203 Republicans and 117 Democrats, including Jefferson County’s US Representatives Blaine Luetkemeyer and Ann Wagner voted on an amendment H Amd 704 to HR 4660, a Federal bill wherein, if you take certain prescription drugs you would be banned from owning a gun. So, how would the government know without having access to the database? News Flash: any information in a computer can be hacked or retrieved, because that is the nature of the computer. Information is put in, so it can be taken out. (GIGO) And now some leaders in some counties are taking it upon themselves to set up their own databases in their counties.
According to the April 20, 2017Arnold Imperial Leader article, Sue Curfman CEO and President of Comtrea, a drug rehab center, supports the PDMP stating, “How long are we going to wait for more people to die of drug overdoses and how many more people are going to become users before we do something?” Excuse me, but how is a PDMP going to get people to go to a rehab center for treatment? Answer, it doesn’t. Councilman Bikowski has Constitutional privacy rights issues with a PDMP to which she replied, “I appreciate your privacy concerns, but when you ask which doctors have received education, it may be a valid point, but it’s just wasting time.” In other words, a person’s Constitutional right to privacy is of no concern to her. She goes on stating, “Let us do what we do best. We do this (deal with drug abuse) every day. All we need from you is an ordinance that allows the county to join St. Louis County’s PDMP.” Again, how is a database going to get people to come to a rehab center for treatment? She then pulls out the NAZI card implying that if the council does not approve a PDMP they are NAZI’s, when she said, “Inaction on the matter (PDMP) is how the United States reacted to the Holocaust in Hitler’s Germany in World War II.” Apparently, she failed or did not have Civics class when it comes to the US Constitution and the people’s unalienable rights. Could it be she supports a PDMP in order to get grant money for her center from the federal government?
Supporters claim there is an opioid and heroin epidemic in this country. They claim “Opioids” are a gateway to heroin and this law in Missouri will stop the heroin epidemic. Let’s see, this law has been enacted creating databases in the other 49 states to stop the opioid and heroin “epidemic”. So, with every other state having such a law and database why is there still an epidemic in this country? This law is/was to be a panacea to correct the problem. And another thing, what doctor is prescribing heroin for treatment and what pharmacy is filling that script? Answer, NONE. FYI most if not all of the heroin comes from Mexico.
By having a PDMP supporters say it will save lives. Waller stated, “If we can save one life, wouldn’t that be worth it?” How so? Taking it a step further, Pat Martin said he will keep a running tally on drug overdose deaths in Jefferson County to lay at the feet the four members of the Jefferson County Council for their vote against a PDMP. Contrary to Martin’s contention a PDMP does not save lives. There are already TREATMENT Centers for people to go for treatment without a PDMP. Furthermore, there are ALREADY laws on the books regarding the abuse of these drugs by those using as well as those who are dealing in the drugs.
According to Real Time Death Statistics database, which gets its information from the CDC, the current death toll was 4701 prescription drug overdose deaths and 7837 related to all drug abuse from January 1, 2017 to April 25, 2017. Unfortunately, this is in line with the 33,000 deaths attributed to heroin and opioid overdose deaths in 2015. Nonetheless, a PDMP would do nothing to prevent those deaths. Moreover, in the same time frame, January 1, 2017 to April 25, 2017, deaths from hospital associated infections were 31027 and medical errors were 78808. Buzz Westfall and Jack Snow were two prominent men from St. Louis who died from hospital associated infections. So, using the same logic of “if we can save one life, by setting up a PDMP, wouldn’t that be worth it,” should we be closing down all the hospitals? Of course not.
We do not need any more laws such as the ones they are talking about setting up databases to combat the supposed "opioid epidemic." Big Brother is already TOO BIG. Again, there is no need for more intrusion into people’s lives by government by creating this database with this type of legislation. There is also a bill in the Missouri legislature The Narcotics Control Act (NCA) that needs to be shown the light of day and defeated, along with any other counties that want to set up their own databases. Missouri is the only state that has it right. Let's keep it that way. And Jefferson County has four members, District 1 Councilman Don Bickowski, District 2 Renee Reuter, District 3 Bob Boyer and District 4 Charles Groeteke, who follow the Constitution they swore to uphold and should be commended for it. Unlike, Jefferson County Executive Ken Waller who wants to disregard his oath to uphold the Constitution with his position on PDMP and should resign.

Mass Shootings & Gun Control

On 10/1/15 there was a mass shooting on a college campus, where according to reports there are 10 dead plus the shooter and 7 wounded. The investigation is ongoing as to the facts of the incident and the motive of the shooter. Nevertheless, the thin skinned, big eared, Community Agitator, Hussein Obama without knowing the facts, politicized the mass shooting calling for “gun control.” In his speech, Obama erroneously states, “We know that states with the most gun laws tend to have the fewest gun deaths.” Really? Tell that to the citizens of Chicago in the state of Illinois. We may not know the motive to the shooting, but, as in all of these incidents, we do know that the campus was/is a “gun free” zone, being guarded by one unarmed security guard.

Once again, the gun grabbers always come out when an EVIL doer commits an evil act and Hussein Obama did not disappoint. Their response is MORE restrictions on guns, which have an adverse effect on law abiding citizens. In ALL fifty states MURDER is against the law, yet EVIL doers who commit murder do not care about the law and the law does not prevent them from doing the act. Background checks do nothing to stop evil doers; they only restrict law abiding citizens and create a database for confiscation from the government. Let’s not forget that the school was a gun free zone, as was Fort Hood, where a Muslim jihadist massacred the soldiers there. There is evil in the World and no laws will stop an evil-doer from committing these kinds of acts. It takes an armed citizen willing to stand up to this person to end or at least minimize the damage and loss of life.

The Second Amendment states: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." There are many naïve people out there, Obama being one, who have not a clue about the US Constitution, and the people’s rights. You have a God-given right to be able to defend yourself and your family. The Second Amendment is not about hunting or tradition; it is about the people being able to defend themselves from an overreaching tyrannical government. And the Founders did envision the people being able to arm themselves with the weapons of today, because they had fought a revolution against a tyrannical government. Where would this country be today if the Founders were not armed to fight the British? Thomas Jefferson said, “The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.”

The Statists’ goal is for total confiscation of guns from law-abiding citizens; the assault weapons ban, registration and amount of rounds are the slippery slope. The registration lets the government knows which law-abiding citizens own guns and how many guns they own making it easier for confiscation. And one bullet can kill. So, if the government implements the ban and the killing continues the government would have a reason for banning more guns and limit the amount of rounds till eventually, the government would call for total confiscation. For those people who think that confiscation will not happen need only look to what occurred after Katrina where the government disarmed law-abiding citizens of their guns. There are people, who do not want to own a gun, then they should not get one, but they should not try to force their agenda on others.

It is about FREEDOM

I watched some video of previous Jefferson County Council meetings regarding these compliance checkpoints. What I heard from County Executive Ken Waller was very troubling. In his justification for it he quoted from a Supreme Court ruling:

“There was compelling Government interest in that DWI checkpoints were a means of advancing that interest.
1) The state had a compelling interest in preventing drunk driving.
2) Use of sobriety checkpoints were effective in achieving that goal.
3) The level of intrusiveness on individual liberty was slight.”

There is no such thing as being a little pregnant. The woman either is or is not pregnant. The same can be said with the people’s liberties. There is no such thing as violating someone’s right to travel freely on and about our roads without being stopped at a checkpoint, when they are not doing anything wrong. Violating the people’s rights just a little bit does not make it right.

Waller also justified the checkpoints because these checkpoints have been done in the past. What? Just because people’s freedom has been violated in the past, does not make it right to do it in the future. The Fourth Amendment states: “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”

County Executive Waller, the council members as well as the Sheriff take an oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution. They are in breach of that oath when they violate the people’s rights, even if it is just a “little bit.” What I would like to see the Jefferson County Council do is to enact an ordinance making it clear that these checkpoints violate the Constitution and make these checkpoints illegal to set up.
