Starting a discussion? No. For threatening our constitution, you better believe it.

Why is the Constitution sacrosanct? It wasn't written with that in mind. Thus the number of amendments.

I was not talking about a British Constitution. I was talking about British Common Law:
English law is the legal system of England and Wales,[1] and is the basis of common law[2] legal systems used in the Republic of Ireland and in most Commonwealth countries[3] and the United States except Louisiana (as opposed to civil law or pluralist systems in use in other countries). It was exported to Commonwealth countries while the British Empire was established and maintained, and it forms the basis of the jurisprudence of most of those countries. English law prior to the American Revolution is still part of the law of the United States through reception statutes, except in Louisiana, and provides the basis for many American legal traditions and policies, though it has no superseding jurisdiction.

So you're saying that if he was a natural born American you would have no problem with his stance?

I have no problem with his stance anyway. I dont agree with it, but I absolutely defend his right to state it. Where my issue comes in, though, is that this man openly admits that it is 'our' constitution, not his. It has nothing to do with being 'natural born' and everything to do with being a part of this country. he is a foreign journalist who favors his home country over the country he reports in.

Ben did a remarkable job in that interview. I call him Ben, because I consider him a friend now. His debating ability made Morgan seem pathetic. I sure hope Ben is on the front line of this issue; as he brings crystal clear credibility to the table.

How dare an immigrant come our country and challenge our way of life. Especially an immigrant who came from the country we had to fight a war against.
