Finally a sensible amicus brief.

They don't know what the constitution says if they think it supports their views.

Yes because that's how you get to appeal to Judge Jeanine.

Fun part about SCOTUS ruling? It’s essentially 9-0. Why essentially? Because 7 justices (including Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barret) outright stated they wouldn’t even consider granting them leave to file. 2 of them, Alito and Roberts, said they would grant them leave to file, but would not grant them any relief.

For those of you thinking it would have been better to have an outright 9-0 ruling, I would like to point out that the Alito and Roberts remarks serve an important purpose, namely to underscore that even if the case were to be heard by the SC, it doesn’t stand a chance of actually winning. In saying this, the argument that ‘the case should have been heard and they’d have won’ is preemptively quashed.

Thought experiment. Let’s say they win this case. This would create precedence. Which, in turn, opens up the possibility to litigate anyone else for the same thing: when your parents aren’t US citizens, you can’t be (vice) president. Which would mean none of the founding fathers were  qualified as (vice) presidential candidates... and wouldn’t that that then also disqualify any bills they made? Like, uhm, you know, the actual Bill of Rights? Which then begs the question why the FF would write a Constitution that would disqualify their right to do so?

Leaving aside the 14th Amendment for the moment how far back would one look to determine who was an American citizen.  Just about everyone in this country is descended from immigrants who were not born as US citizens.  Lemme guess, only certain children of immigrants (read people Republicans don't like) would be disqualified.  

"To hold that the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution excludes from citizenship the children, born in the United States, of citizens or subjects of other countries, would be to deny citizenship to thousands of persons of English, Scotch, Irish, German or other European parentage, who have always been considered and treated as citizens of the United States." United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649, 694 (1898)

I hate these racist fucks.

From that cockamamie birther lawsuit:

I don't know WTF that has to do with anything, but I could find no other reference to her middle name being anything other than Devi.

As for the word Iyer:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iyer

Quote

Iyer has several meanings in Tamil and other Dravidian languages, often referring to a respectable person. The Dravidian Etymological Dictionary lists various meanings for the term such as "father, sage, priest, teacher, brahman, superior person, master, king" with cognates such as tamayan meaning "elder brother" and simply ai "lord, master, husband, king, guru, priest, teacher, father"

So now I'm waiting for some racist sexist shit-bag to see this, notice that all the translations seem to refer to men, and start the "she's really a man" nonsense about Harris, like they did for Michelle Obama.

After all, they know no limits.

California birth index does list both Kamala D Harris and Kamala I Harris with the same birth date and parents and county of birth, so it looks like they may be correct. But like you said, it has nothing to do with anything. This is the same group of people who make a big deal about Barack Obama having gone by Barry at some point. In their tiny minds, changing your name in any way or going by a nickname means you have something to hide.

Who was actually born in Canada. His mom was born in the US but his dad was born in cuba, the son of parents who immigrated from the Canary islands.

A doctorate that Jill Biden earned is fraudulent because feelings.

 

 

In another WI lawsuit there was a hearing.

She's a doctor and, AFAIC, he's a worthless, whining POS.

Jr's whore Kimberly Guilfoyle claims to be a first generation American yet her parents were born in Puerto Rico which has been a US Territory since 1898.

Jesus, you just hate women so goddamn much. You can't even pretend to hide it.

You seriously can't seem to comprehend that you can make your points without constantly invoking ignorant, misogynistic language. It doesn't make it any less sexist just because the women in question do stupid shit. Just like it's still not okay to call Allen West or Candace Owens racial slurs or invoke bigoted stereotypes against them just because they're Trump-loving dipshits. 

Between this, peppering the threads about Melania and Ivanka with c-bombs, referring to the Maxwell daughters as "the spinster sisters," and your deranged website against Sarah Palin where you talked about how she looks like a porn star and mocked and slut shamed her daughters-- you don't seem to comprehend that you don't come off as witty or impassioned or like you're passing some liberal purity test. You just reveal that you have no respect for women as an entity. 

I don't know know why you think people on a forum like this won't notice it.

No, my friend, remember that, according to prominent repugs like Ann Coulter and Tomi Lahren, they are descended from settlers, not immigrants. That they believe that crap irks me to no end.

Why is the WSJ publishing this dreck? And having read the article it sounds like the author has a stick up his butt about not having a doctorate. Not too late possum - you can always go out, put in the work and get one!
