I just saw this on Maddow. She said it is the most effective ad she's seen so far. She does have a point. It is effective, scary but effective, which makes it even more scary.

The Donald doesn't much about the law. Or statistics. Or reality. He's, however, an expert on divorce and bankruptcy.

You have to remember the evangelicals believe in talking snakes and vessels that can hold two of every species on earth and whatnot.

In other words, logic isn't their strong suit.

Evangelicals' number one belief is that only white people go to heaven.

"Ted" Cruz gives me the heebie jeebies. He looks like a serial killer and he sounds like Truman Capote. Close your eyes and just listen to his voice. *shudder*

Uh, no. A U.S. military base overseas is not U.S. soil, it's foreign soil rented from the host country. Americans control what's on the base because of agreements with the host countries, agreements known as Status of Forces Agreements.

Just like a lot of other things in the constitution, NBC wasn't explicitly defined, so you look to English Common Law because it's what most of what the understanding of the law was at the time of the drafting. So, in the minds of the framers (so the theory goes) it was the meaning of NBC in ECL that should be looked at. Any statute subsequent to that can be challenged on it's constitutional ground just like any other law that comes before the supreme court. The whole law review article she wrote was actually linked to in the comments here last week. I'm not sure I agree with it. It seems like if you're born to an American parent, that should make you "natural born", but she does lay out a cogent argument about why NBC means that you're born here. http://scholarship.law.edu/...

Isn't this lovely? It's the disclosure, Ted, the disclosure."While I was forced to liquidate everything..."Tell us about it, Ted.

that was so long ago that the boat was made so they didn't have as many species, making it possible to contain them all...Also too, snakes don't talk?
