Oh who the fuck am I kidding, definitely the latter:
Buoyed by recent public opinion polls suggesting they're on the right track with illegal immigration, Arizona Republicans will likely introduce legislation this fall that would deny birth certificates to children born in Arizona - and thus American citizens according to the U.S. Constitution - to parents who are not legal U.S. citizens. The law largely is the brainchild of state Sen. Russell Pearce, a Republican whose suburban district, Mesa, is considered the conservative bastion of the Phoenix political scene. He is a leading architect of the Arizona law that sparked outrage throughout the country: Senate Bill 1070
And, as ever, Pearce will style himself the most awesome libertarian in existence adhearing to each an everyword of the Constitution -- except, of course, those who doesn't like, like the 14th Amendment.
The new Republican Party -- "we're going to pass an Unconstitutional law, we're awesome -- up next the First Amendment!"
Because the only Amendment that matters is the 2nd Amendment.
