Graham Falls In Line, Plans Legislation To Scrap Birthright Citizenship

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), one of President Donald Trump’s biggest allies in the Senate, is wholeheartedly endorsing the President’s desire to scrap birthright citizenship, though it seems that he does not share Trump’s belief that it can be done with an executive order.

Trump vocalized his plan during an Axios interview, though he is adamant that the right, currently enshrined in the 14th Amendment, can be nullified by him alone. That does not seem to be the case.

    Wait – I thought the exact words of the Constitution were sacred, inviolable, and immutable to Republicans? Oh, right – IOIYAR (It’s Okay If You’re A Racist).

  2. Graham is a modern case study of how an ambitious person, knowledgeable about history, can remake himself into a Nazi.
    Truly, I think he is the most vile member of Congress, because his descent into evil is completely self-conscious and planned.

  3. US Constitution:

    “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.”

    New Rule: If the 14th Amendment is null and void, then so is the 2nd Amendment.

    Thanks, Trump!

    I would agree, except I think Rob Portman got there first, and embraced becoming deplorable more thoroughly. But then, arguing over which GOP official is the more vile dickhead may be quibbling.

  5. Graham also announced his legislation to repeal the 14th Amendment completely would force blacks back into slavery. Graham said: “it’s about time we did this. My family fought to keep slavery and we need to make the Confederacy great again”.
