This constitutional question. Okay i will give you one example. So lets think about the 14th amendment. Part of the 14th amendment is citizenship so we asked the question upon whether or not they believe the birthright citizenship in the 14th amendment should be repealed .

Well if it was really just about conservatism, we have a variable in there for which we control that gets that constitutional conservatism. The basic whether or not how liberal conservative you are. So if you guys are correct that in this particular case and this is just an example, if its really just all about the constitution concerns about the constitution than people that support the tea party since we are about constitutional preservation should not want to repeal the 14th amendment.

This week on q a, yuval levin. Yuval levin, your wikipedia site has in the second sentence, he has been called, quote, probably the most influential conservative intellectual of the obama era. Whats that mean . Thats a very good question. I wonder by whom. I think its jonathan chait. Ok. Well then probably, in the course of criticizing me for something or other, but i guess what it means you know an intellectual in politics is a person who tries to connect events and practical questions to deeper currents, theoretical or philosophical currents. There are narrower definitions.
