Things that make me go huh?

Well, I apologize for my long absence but I have been doing a lot of thinking recently. It has occurred that there are some serious holes in today's political system. I was browsing the internet when I discovered an interesting nugget of information, Senator Lindsay Graham (R, S.C.) apparently wants to cut out part of the Constitution. The member of the party that decries when gun control and health care are brought up now want to eliminate a part of the Constitution that is inconvenient to their needs.

Senator Graham wishes to eliminate the 14th amendment of the Constitution, giving children born in the United States automatic citizenship. The reasoning behind such a suggestion? The 14th amendment is irrelevant and does not serve it's intended purpose. This is the Senator that claimed the government was taking rights away from people and shredding the Constitution, yet he wants to take away a cornerstone of American society. His position reminds me of another position that he battles against fiercely, gun control. The argument for stricter gun control is that the 2nd amendment served it's purpose and now is misinterpreted and is no longer relevant, yet Senator Graham and the rest of the GOP would never hear of such blasphemy.

I am not asking for strict gun control or a reversal of over a century of the cornerstone of American immigration policy. What I am asking for is simple Constitutional consistency. If one part of the Constitution is irrelevant because of modern events, then let's update the entire document. However, if the Constitution is a rock solid backbone to American society, then leave all parts of it alone. The Constitution shouldn't be torn apart from Democrats for gun control, then defended to the death for immigration policy, just as opposite from the Republicans shouldn't be allowed to happen. It is as simple as picking a path and sticking to it. Not appeasing independents, not obeying lobbyists and special interest groups. Constitutional consistency. Because if part of it goes, it all should go.
