Abortion Rights, Or Not

Abortion rights, or not, according to my interpretation of Amendment Fourteen of the U.S. Constitution.

The first paragraph of Amendment Fourteen states:

1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

A Consequence of the Arizona Immigration Law?

On the TV news last night I heard that a sixty one year old white man had yelled, "Go back to Mexico where you belong." at his Hispanic (U.S. Citizen) neighbor (friend, drinking buddy) of eight years. Then shot him.

Okay, I think I heard today on the TV that he was drunk.

I still think that the huge controversy over this immigration law may have contributed to the mental state that caused this shooting.

As I said previously, I don't think this immigration law is the right way to approach, much less solve, the immigration problem.

Arizona Government Idiocy

It's just one thing after another with this administration in Arizona.

The latest stupid thing is HB 2441, which the House passed. This piece of crap would require the political party committee for a Presidential Candidate to prove the candidate meets the U.S. Constitutional requirements for President of the U.S. before he/she can be listed on the ballot. Even then, the Arizona Secretary of State can still has the power to decide whether, or not, they are put on the ballot.

Huh? If this is allowed it could mean that any candidate for President will have to prove to every State, individually, that they are qualified.



The correct way to go about this would be to request a U.S. Constitutional Amendment that specifies how to, and who is responsible to, certify a person's qualifications for President.

Meanwhile, just do like was done prior to the last election, challenge the candidate to produce the proof if you have doubts.

Obama was challenged to produce his birth certificate, and he did so, you can see an authenticated copy here.
