What I was trying to say is that, well, first of all, throat clearing. There's the whole problem of it being completely unconstitutional to try to change this via executive order. It's in the Constitution.

Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Okay. So first of all, it's completely bogus. And so said a Reagan appointed federal judge. I said this was laughable. But the other part of it, though, is a matter of the meaning of America. And that is exactly what the executive order was labeling, the meaning of American citizenship. They said they were upholding.

Actually, they are destroying it because birthright citizenship is tied up with the fact that we are a nation of immigrants. We are a nation of people who came here and became Americans. We were something else before everybody except Native Americans came here. And this is not a country of blood and soil. It's not that we all have the same ethnicity or ancestry or language or color or any of that.

It's that we have chosen to be part of this great experiment. And every person who is born here is. is as legitimate and perfect and pure and American as any descendant of the Mayflower. And that is a very equalizing concept. And it's important, I think, to maintain that because otherwise we're going to have tiers of citizens.

You know, we're going to have the people who can trace their ancestry back many generations and then they are the real Americans and then everybody else is something else. You know, that is antithetical to my perception of what this country is about. Amen.

Okay, so Tulsi, I would put at the top that she is the most dangerous because The one thing you want above everything else is good judgment in a post like that, where you are in charge of our secrets. And she has shown appalling judgment in her sidling up to a vicious murderer like Hafez Assad, in her defense of Edward Snowden, in her willingness to be a mouthpiece for Putin.
