Quote by: Chancellor No, we need to keep the birthright clause but change it. I would change it to "born of American citizens in the United States or its territories, embassies or military bases."

I agee with that.

I disagree. While I support repealing the 16th Amendment, why must the fair tax be set at 22 percent? Why must the amendment address taxes in state and local governments?

I said max 22% meaning they can go under but not over. Elimination of Corporate taxation which shift the trade war in our favor of China

I disagree. Eliminate primaries entirely and require political parties to choose their candidates privately within the party (e.g. by having all party members submit their votes to the local party headquarters). All national debates (which would occur only after all the parties have chosen their candidates, if any) would include the candidates of all national parties and the moderators would be required to treat each candidate equally.

Take the vote even more out of the hands of the people? I strongly disagree! That has was too much openness for corruption.

Do their best???? What a crock! No, you have to put their feet to the fire. The amendment should mandate a balanced budget (real balance and not accounting gimmicks; as long as there is national debt, the budget is not balanced).

Be realistic. Sometimes the budget becomes unbalance and there are no quick fixes!

I strongly object to the way you're trying to impose restrictions on the states!

States are not individual countries they are part of a Union. They have automony, but it can't infringe on the sovereignty of the whole nation.

No. The federal government has no business involving itself in medical procedures. It should be left to the states.

You simplify it too much to call it merely a medical procedure. Either way the courts shouldn't be the one creating laws. I want it decided, so its no longer an issue of which party will select the President who will select the pro or anti-abortion judge. Its needs to be answered by Federal Law and not the courts.

No. I want the government out of the marriage business entirely. Besides, have you forgotten about the full faith and credit clause of the Constitution?

Full Faith and Credit Clause has to do with sister juridiction courts respecting the previous decision of their sister jurisdiction. FFCC prevents, if I sue you for a specific tort in IL lose, then bringing the exact same tort IN that might have also have subject matter and personal jurisdication.

In family law every state has to recognize a marriage if it was valid in the jurisdiction (including foreign) it took place in, unless its considered against public policy! Every State that doesn't make gay marriage legal, has it against public policy and views it void ab initio.

Section 2. The citizens of each state shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities of citizens in the several states.

That is the privilege and immunity clause. Very different.
