Ron Paul is one of the only good libertarians

Good book from what I've read

my main issue with most libertarians is they're pro-open borders

rand is actually surprisingly good on the issue

I have a very long list of grievances with libertarianism

Rand is not sufficient on the borders or immigration issue unfortunately.

Libertarians are usually either one of two categories, with some overlap

@[Lex] he's not perfect, but do you think he'd vote against any immigration bill? i don't think he would

1) Impressionable young people that like freedom
2) Full blown autistic psychopaths that think the free market is God

It depends on which immigration bill

My end goal is to stop immigration entirely

i would be in favor of that

i don't know how much support it would get though

how do you think we can tackle birthright citizenship?

It's a good thing to advocate for and for many reasons liberals would like

That's a tough one considering that damned 14th amendment but I think @Nuke's talked about how we could tackle it

My main argument is that being born in the US doesn't make you an American any more than being born in an aquarium makes you a fish

you know though

i think the supreme court would handle it

Lots of areas in the US that are just a borg where you don't even have to learn English

we need a huge majority though

Birthright citizenship?

like we'd need to replace breyer and rbg with conservatives

yea

i could see a case coming up

🆙 | **thr33 leveled up!**

That will be very tough to try but if we can get a 7-2 majority, who knows, maybe we will be able to manage that

The constitutional ground on our side is dubious unfortunately, I could see that as a possibility though

Also don't forget that Sotomayor has Type 1 Diabetes which'll shave about 20 years off of her life

true

i think thomas wants to retire early too

he's really good, shame, but maybe that would be where we could get someone like amy barrett in

ok, so on on the cornyn-grassley bill

it was defeated 39-60 right

so 10 R's voted against it, because it wasn't going to pass anyway, and because it gave up too much (they would flip if it could pass)

Barrasso, Cruz, Daines, Enzi, Inhofe, Kennedy, Lee, Moran, Paul, Thune

so that gets us to 49

I would replace Ginsburg with Barrett probably

3 D's voted for it, which probably are NOs if it's after midterms (Manchin, Donnelly, Heitkamp)

Just for laughs, we replaced Marshall, a black liberal with Thomas, who's a very conservative black man

I think it'd be fitting
