But, when court after court comes to the same conclusion, you gotta kinda figure they’re getting it right. Which is what really gets your goat, or monkey, whatever. I read somewhere Wong has been cited like 1,000 times. It is still good law.

parsy, who says the monkey pictures are the best part of your logic!

> It is still good law.

Yes. However, it's the After-Birther’s use & interpretation of Wong that is embarrassingly flawed!

If "Natural Born Citizen" for the office of President was resolved by WONG, Congress would have never seen a need to attempt to define “Natural Born Citizen” as it has numerous times this decade alone. At best it would be seen as needless redundancy; at worst it would be an attempt to override a SCOTUS ruling!

AGAIN, here's just ONE example of a Congressional Bill on that very issue:

108th CONGRESS

2d Session

S. 2128

To define the term `natural born Citizen' as used in the Constitution of the United States to establish eligibility for the Office of President.

IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES

February 25, 2004

Mr. NICKLES (for himself, Ms. LANDRIEU, and Mr. INHOFE) introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
