442 days left, and already Republican candidates are talking about repealing the 14th amendment

What will be left this time next year when the radical right fringe of the Republican Party demands more red meat to defeat the others pandering to the same crowd?

Donald Trump says we've got to get rid of "birthright citizenship" for babies born in the U.S. of illegal parents.    Scott Walker jumped on the bandwagon.   Others tried to be a little more circumspect, maybe knowing that this would take an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to get rid of that clause in the 14th amendment.

Not gonna happen.    But once you've started attacking the Bill of Rights, what's the next attention-grabbing headline going to be?
