There is a lot of rulings and historical evidence to back up the definition of NBC, being born of two citizen parents.

There are also a lot of rulings saying that anyone born on U.S. soil, even to two alien parents, is an NBC. There is no absolutely definitive SCOTUS ruling, but the courts are not going to use a doubtful precedent to overturn the will of the voters.

Even SR 511 defined McCain as being eligible because of two citizen parents, this whole thing really frustrates me.

Because he wasn't born on U.S. soil. There is a lot of case law that birth on U.S. soil is enough. (I will concede that there are arguments both ways, but that is not going to be enough to get SCOTUS to overturn an election, IMO.)

Oy, I spent 4 days on that last thread regarding that issue, don't want to start another one.

I agree though that this probably won't see any resolution until 2011 (barring any new revelations or catastrophic drop in poll numbers) if he decides to run again, damn I hate to say that.

Thank you for sharing your insights, it's appreciated very much.

Ok, so if we can’t go after Hussein’s NBC status because we weren’t candidates then what about going after Nancy for signing the DNC that he was eligible when there is no proof he is? With her signing it, that brought his candidacy down to the people’s level rather than his opposition. The people were essentially denied their right to vote for a legitimate Democratic candidate. IOW, there was no candidate for the Democratic party. BTW, I voted for Hillary in the primary (yikes, incoming!!! but it was strategic voting AGAINST Hussein as Palin would have a better chance against Hill, really, pinky swear, cross my heart) so couldn’t I claim I had been harmed at the primary level?

Can someone refresh my memory as to why Hussein wasn’t on the Michigan primary? Sure, there was the ruckus over Michigan moving the date but they held the primary and Hillary won. So, where was Hussein in all this? Could there be a crack in the wall there? Is there something in the Michigan law that might be an in?
