(52,625 posts)It's obvious that the Fourteenth Amendment presents a huge problem to government administrations that rely on the small government format. They embrace the concept of republican vs democratic principles, which is to say that they recognize that the decision making power is in the hands of representatives. Where they fail the American litmus test is due diligence, due process and Equal protection. That's all in the Fourteenth Amendment. It is for this reason that Republicans, since way back in Newt Gingrich's time, have been trying to get rid of it all together. And I just don't understand why Democrats have been so slow to recognize this.
WE SHOULD BE ASSAULTING THEM IN THE COURTS WITH THIS AMENDMENT. A few wins will change the political winds overnight.
