Anchoring the Constitution
Mark Rosenbaum, senior counsel for the ACLU of Southern California, has a few choice words for those attacking the 14th Amendment of the Constitution in the name of political expediency:
"The truth is that the most fundamental purpose of the 14th Amendment was to correct the injustice that slaves and their children both were regarded as outside the notion of citizenship. The genius of Lincoln — and it’s really the greatest historical legacy of the Republican Party — is that all individuals were to be treated based on who they are, not who their parents were.
