Really the modern interpretation of the Second Amendment as 'bulletproof' only began in the 1980s.

If you can explain more be my guest. I wikipedia'd it and every law I found ran through congress. Not just a presidential order or whatever.

Ted Cruz is one of the slimiest dirtbags I've ever seen in my life.

Remember when Congress passed that resolution saying McCain was eligible to be President? Why hasn't Congress done the same for Cruz? Because everyone in Congress hates him. Everybody hates Ted Cruz. This is a common theme I've seen when I read about him. He is universally loathed.

His college roommate said he'd rather have a random name in the phone book be President. This is like 30 years later.

I'm glad Trump didn't let that shit fly. I'm sick of hearing a bunch of yahoos talk about how New York is not "real America" while they wrap themselves in 9/11.

Well, Nyc is an international city that represents more than just the us.

Turning it into a slur is kind of stupid. You just kind of insult everyone when you do that.

I never understood why states--and parties within those states--get to set their own rules for primaries for a federal office. That don't make no sense.

Because you don't vote for a President at a state level. You vote to inform an Electoral College member how to vote for President.

Remember when Congress passed that resolution saying McCain was eligible to be President? Why hasn't Congress done the same for Cruz? Because everyone in Congress hates him.

If this is the case CAN Cruz ultimately be President if the same isn't done for him? How can there be ways to get around having to actually be born here to get into the office?

LOL.

Congressional resolutions are typically just for show.
