“...In this unanimous decision, the Supreme Court defined a “native or natural-born citizen” as a person born in the US to parents who were citizens;”
Is that not clear enough LT Col Rogers? or is it that you really like bottom boy Obama and intend to vote for him again.
Patterns have always intrigued me, among the officer corps, in all branches, the warriors tend to vote Republican. The perfumed princes tend to vote Democrat. Might that be because the further left someone is the louder they state that they should simply be handed the rewards of sustained effort sans any effort on their part.
“Is that not clear enough LT Col Rogers?”
What is clear is that you haven’t read the decision, which doesn’t say what birthers claim. If it did, then NO ONE would have argued that WKA met the definition of NBC in the 1890s.
Here is what the DISSENT complained about the impact of the WKA decision:
“Considering the circumstances surrounding the framing of the Constitution, I submit that it is unreasonable to conclude that “natural-born citizen” applied to everybody born within the geographical tract known as the United States, irrespective of circumstances, and that the children of foreigners, happening to be born to them while passing through the country, whether of royal parentage or not, or whether of the Mongolian, Malay or other race, were eligible to the Presidency, while children of our citizens, born abroad, were not.”
Read it again, and try to understand the law, MR ‘I always knew more than any damn officer’. Try READING, instead of just letting WND blow smoke up your butt.
There is a reason that the only birther case decided on the merits LAUGHED at the plaintiffs. There is a reason the US Supreme Court refuses to take these cases. There is a reason no state in the Union - NONE - has barred Obama from the ballot.
But MR ‘Officers are stupid’ can’t be bothered to READ. He would rather wallow in his ignorance, like the rest of the birthers - because reading is hard.
