U.S. District Court Rules Against Cenk Uygur in South Carolina Democratic Primary Case

On January 16, U.S. District Court Judge Joseph F. Anderson, a Reagan appointee, explained why he orally kept Cenk Uygur off the South Carolina Democratic presidential primary when the case was argued.  Here is the 17-page decision in Uygur v South Carolina, 3:23cv-6879.

Uygur, who was born in Turkey, had argued that the Fourteenth Amendment, Equal Protecdtion Clause, had silently repealed the Provision of Article II that requires presidents to be “natural born.”  Thanks to Electionlawblog for this news.

  5. I actually agree with AZ on one thing. NBC is screwed up, especially when they went woke. Their news department is all commies and thus, FAKE

  6. There is no constitutional provision establishing a standard of “frivolity” for candidates for the states to apply to their ballot access laws. At the time of ratification there were no ballot access laws, there were voter eligibility laws. The regulation of candidate eligibility to hold office is an innovation by states by legislative adoption of secret ballot laws requiring confiscation of the original right of the voter to publish a ballot and monopolizing ballot publishing to state officials chosen by political partisans.
    The whole justification for limiting the number of candidates the state will print on their monopoly ballot is to ration the choices presented to the voter because too many printed names could be confusing and delay balloting. Yet most states still allow voters to take the time to write-in candidates who the state has not printed. Nine states do not even allow such write-in voting making the state ballot publishing monopoly even more exclusionary of voter free choice.
    The presumption has been made that because the states are arrogated a monopoly of ballot publication to hold “orderly” elections it can also adjudicate candidate qualifications prior to voters having the opportunity to do so for themselves.
    In sum, the administration of elections is prior censorship of voters and discrimination against candidates who offer ideas to voters on the conduct of government. Such election rigging justifies characterizing it as fascistic.

  7. THE JONES-SANTOS CAMPAIGN IS ATTEMPTING TO GET FREE AIRTIME ON NBC. WE HAVE SENT THEM A SINGLE FORM PETITION

  8. Folks here are making good points about the rotten 14th amendment and fake news NBC.

  9. The courts are proving, once again, that they are political and bought off. Cenk Uygur is as American as they come. He has EARNED his citizenship as an AMERICAN in every way possible. He is far more American than 99% of the Nepo babies born to the title that currently lead this sad state of a country.

    Until we, once again, become a place where meritocracy leads….we are screwed. And with idiot judges like this making decisions….God help us all.

    Nothing but Nepo baby idiots ‘leading the way’. And thousands of years of history shows us that when nepotism is the primary source of leadership in society…society fails.

  10. There are two clearly stated requirements spelled out in the Constitution to run for political office. One requires a natural born citizen and the other requires a citizen. This clearly defines the two offices as having different citizenship requirements.

    Presidential Eligibility – Article II, Section 1, Clause 5: No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

    Congress Eligibility – Article I, Section 2, Clause 2.1: No Person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the Age of twenty-five Years, and been seven Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State in which he shall be chosen.

    SIGNIFICANT STATEMENTS & DATES:

    1758 – Vattel wrote “the indigenous natives are the peoples who have been born and lived there for generations. The meaning of the term, “natural born citizen”, or “naturels ou indigenes” is the same: born in the country of two parents who are citizens of that country.

    1787 – John Jay wrote to George Washington that only a “natural born” citizen should be allowed to become president, arguing that this requirement would provide a check on the ability of foreigners to influence the young republic.

    1790 – Naturalization Act. Congress’s first act concerning citizenship providing that “the children of citizens of the United States, that may be born beyond the sea or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born citizens”. The 1795 revision to this act eliminated the words natural born, leaving just the word citizens. This made it clear that person who were naturalized became citizens versus natural born citizens.

    1803 – Federal Judge St. George Tucker, the leading authority for the delegates to the Constitutional Convention for the terms used in the Constitution wrote that the natural-born-citizen clause is “a happy means of security against foreign influence” and that “the admission of foreigners into our councils, consequently, cannot be too much guarded against. Tucker wrote that naturalized citizens have the same rights as the natural-born except “they are forever incapable of being chosen to the office of president of the United States.”

    1857 – Dred Scott v Sandford: “The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens.”

    1868 – The Fourteenth Amendment Section 1 states “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” Although it is recognized that a naturalized citizen cannot become President, scholars incorrectly cite that a citizen can become President. This Amendment has nothing to do with the requirement to run for President as it is only addressing requirements to become a citizen, including being born to two non-US citizen parents.

    1874 – The Supreme Court case, Minor v. Happersett opinion states, a Natural Born Citizen is to be born to a mother and father, both of whom were US citizens at the time of birth!

    1898 – Supreme Court Wong Kim Ark case: “At common law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children, born in a country of parents who were its citizens, became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners.”

  11. Good points, Roman Salute, Kanga Roo, Sam, Bob, and Eugene! WHITE POWER!
