• If those who wrote and ratified the 14th Amendment had imagined laws restricting immigration - and had anticipated huge waves of illegal immigration - is it reasonable to presume they would have wanted to provide the reward of citizenship to the children of the violators of those laws? Surely not.

• The 14th Amendment, 2nd Amendment, there's nothing in the Constitution that says that if you are born to an illegal immigrant in America, that you are an American citizen. It's not there. People think it is. They confuse it with being born to an American citizen in America or overseas. But there's nothing in the law, nothing in the Constitution.

• The 14th Amendment was passed after the Civil War to apply to former slaves to ensure that they are treated like all other citizens. It never did have anything to do with gay marriage. It was never intended to have anything to do with gay marriage or animal marriage or any other kind of social contract. It was specific to slavery, and after the Civli War.

• La izquierda mira la Constitución y ve cosas que no están ahí y luego las encuentra. Miran las cosas que están ahí y afirman que no están ahí. Como la Segunda Enmienda, nah, nah, no está ahí, realmente no tenían esa intención. No, no, no. El aborto. No puedes encontrarlo, sí, ahí está, claro como el día, ves, está justo ahí en la 14ª Enmienda, la Décima Enmienda, la Novena Enmienda, la Quinta - no, no está.

• Congress decides who becomes a citizen and how. To automatically say the 14th Amendment grants birthright citizenship, no, we can't change that. Amending the Constitution, not possible, takes too long. We gotta find another way of dealing with this. No, we don't, because it's not there. You don't have to amend the Constitution.

• Me preocupa profundamente el legado del tribunal Rehnquist y sus esfuerzos por restringir la autoridad del Congreso para promulgar leyes adoptando una visión muy estrecha de varias disposiciones de la Constitución, entre ellas la cláusula de comercio y la 14ª Enmienda. Creo que esta tendencia, de continuar, restringiría e incluso podría impedir que el Congreso abordara las principales cuestiones medioambientales y sociales del futuro.
