Our Evan McMorris-Santoro was just over at the National Press Club for the Tea Party Express / We’re No Racists / Black conservatives event. And something interesting happened. (How could it not?) Headliner Alan Keyes got up and went after Republicans calling for revision of the 14th Amendment and an end to birth-right citizenship.
Perhaps it says something about where we are that I think it’s news that a black man might be skeptical about repealing the 14th Amendment. And, as you’d expect, Keyes argument — particularly his whack at Lindsey Graham — was rooted in a bunch of references to the Creator and Natural Law. But he’s definitely not on board on this one. And he spoke pretty powerfully — if perforce eccentrically — about not playing games with something as important as the 14th Amendment. See the video.
