Really, what’s the 14th Amendment done for us lately? Couldn’t it use a pruning? Should it not make way for newer, better amendments?
In all seriousness, after Mitch McConnell said last night that he supports hearings into the 14th amendment and ‘birthright citizenship’, his decision has spurred a round of questions this morning about whether or not he actually favors the repeal of the 14th Amendment. An aide to McConnell tells Greg Sargent that McConnell does not support a complete repeal of the 14th Amendment. But that does leave open the question of a little pruning or amending of the 14th Amendment. Would he favor that? Would John McCain? We’re trying to find out.
