In reply to the discussion: Rosie O'Donnell's response to the tyrant [View all]dalton99a

Amanda Frost, an expert on citizenship law at the University of Virginia School of Law, cited Supreme Court precedent.
In 1967, the U.S. Supreme Court declared in Afroyim v. Rusk that the Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment bars the government from stripping citizenship, stating: In our country the people are sovereign and the government cannot sever its relationship to the people by taking away their citizenship, she said in an email.
Mr. Trumps feud with Ms. ODonnell dates back to 2006, when she mocked the president on The View for defending a Miss USA contestant roiled in a controversy. She questioned his own moral compass and role as a businessman. Mr. Trump, who at the time was best known for his show, The Apprentice, threatened to sue The View over her comments.
Soon after, Mr. Trump began hurling insults at Ms. ODonnell, calling her fat and wacko. In a 2015 G.O.P. debate on Fox News, one of the moderators said, Youve called women you dont like fat pigs, dogs, slobs and disgusting animals. Mr. Trump interjected: Only Rosie ODonnell.

What she is saying is what I want to hear from every damn Democrat. That kind of outrage and that kind of honesty.
