Wow… Someone is actually paying attention to the Law, unbelievable.
Does it get anymore clear than section 1, of the 14th amendment to the United States Constitution?
Section 1. 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. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
About friggin time someone started paying attention to this piece of paper again, Huzzah California State Surpreme Court!
Maybe now the nation can focus on the IMPORTANT issues facing us?
Nah… what was I thinking… Prepare yourself for the parade of Christofacists telling us how the world is coming to an end, you know, like how it came to an end in Massachusetts.
