Thinking today... that becoming #viable in a political primary is like managing threat perceptions on #Survivor.

Which category do you vote for in a #primary?

we won't get a touchdown til overtime. and it'll be by the team that intercepts the ball three and half minutes into overtime... at least it'll be a good ending. #SuperBowl #Patriots #Rams

@survivorcbs Davie! I think the two that most deserve to win are Davie and Nick, but I like Davie's gameplay better than Nick's

@GaTerbush @RyanAFournier In the case of a 10 day visa and being under a country's temporary jurisdiction, yes. A visitor for 10 days does not become a citizen - they meet only 1 of the qualifications in the 14th amendment. They need to meet 2, the other being either naturalization or birth in the US

[Moriah @Mowriyah]

@GaTerbush @RyanAFournier 2/2 The only argument against children born in the US to non-citizen parents depends on making a case that they do not qualify under the 14th amendment because they are not in US jurisdiction. SCOTUS has already given its opinion on US jurisdiction, setting precedent

[Moriah @Mowriyah]

@GaTerbush @RyanAFournier 1/2 You're right that being under a country's jurisdiction itself doesn't make you a citizen. However, what the 14th amendment is doing is laying down two qualifications for citizenship: naturalization or birth in the US and being under US jurisdiction.

[Moriah @Mowriyah]

If @realDonaldTrump passes an executive order overturning #BirthrightCitizenship, that would be in direct violation of the constitution, and SCOTUS would rule it so 9-0. And there'd be a movement in Congress to impeach. Such an executive order would be a terrible political move.

[Moriah @Mowriyah]

5/5 Per the 14th amendment - "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." #BirthrightCitizenship

[Moriah @Mowriyah]

4/5 It may be an indicator of America's #exceptionalism that we claim everyone within our borders as ours at the moment of their birth. #BirthrightCitizenship

[Moriah @Mowriyah]

3/5 But one of the great things about #America is that we offer opportunity regardless of who your parents are, regardless of your lineage. There has to be some kind of boundary to #citizenship of course, which is why we limit citizenship to being naturalized or born in the US.

[Moriah @Mowriyah]

2/5 This edges toward the same thinking as racial purists, who look at people's lineage to determine how racially pure they are. No, it's not exactly the same thing. #BirthrightCitizenship

[Moriah @Mowriyah]

1/5 Ask yourself, how else would #citizenship be determined if not for geographic location at birth? The answer, by the status of the parents. So now we are looking at lineage to determine a child's status.
