Just a regular American
Like the 5-4 remedy decision in Bush v Gore, this was a politically motivated vote that fell along party lines. As such, it isn't a REAL decision.When exactly did the matter become clear? Why? How? What would you describe about how the matter was handled before the epiphany?
In Afroyim v. Rusk, a five-to-four majority of the US Supreme Court overruled the 1958 decision permitting expatriation for voting in a foreign election and announced a constitutional rule against all but purely voluntary renunciation of United States citizenship. The majority ruled that the first sentence of the Fourteenth Amendment constitutionally vested citizenship in every person “born or naturalized in the United States” and that Congress was powerless to take that citizenship away.
So Roe v Wade is not a real decision either? All of it is politically motivated but every decision is real and effects us all.
Don't get me wrong here, I do think there is a problem with the amendment and should be clarified by another amendment. There is a process, a rule of law here, and we need to follow that process. If we circumvent the law here then none of our laws are worth anything and the bricks in our countries foundation start to crumble.
