Piers Morgan's gun control views lead to petition for deportation

Morgan is an idiot.

However, a lot of people died so that he could come here - even as a citizen from somewhere else - and be an idiot - on TV no less.

I wouldn't sign the petition - the Constitution gives people the freedom to be wrong.

I have to nitpick here. The Constitution gives nothing. It guarantees non-interference by the government in what we consider our Natural (or, if you wish, God-given) rights.

But you're right about this jackwagon, and make a good point about his right to say whatever stupid thing he likes.

Nitpick all ya want, Steve. Your right of course on this, I just didn't get technical.

Merry Christmas!

Well, it seems the British petition is mostly aimed to rile angry Americans. Of course if the US did actually deport him we would win, for the simple reason that he is still a British citizen, so unless Parliament actually took that away they'd have to take him back.

Could you explain that principle to Vietnam? We have couple of conmans here who they refuse to take back.

Burglaries, robberies, assaults... they serve their prison sentences and are our problem again - rinse & repeat. No-one is dumb enough to take them.

I wish the same logic was applied to Assange
