james cites the Ankeny decision, which is full of contradictions.

Thank you edge919. The decision is a proverbial train wreck. However, it is the typical response we have been seeing from the courts and their attempts to derail the issue can only be resolved at the Supreme Court level when dealing with the court system. After all, the Supreme Court is the ultimate Constitutional arbiter at the federal government level.

Once that decision is made, We the People would then have the ability to decide for ourselves. After all, we are the ultimate arbiters. What we say goes, and there is nothing anyone can do to take this right away from us. If we say de Vattel is the correct interpretation, it is the correct interpretation. Most of this nation is fixated on whether or not Obama was born in the U.S. They are not asking why it is relevant as the most important qualification for the position. Ask the question. You will most likely receive a blank stare and a poor response.

Until this nations starts asking why laws were written, they will be caught in a trap of "confusing, outdated technicalities".

“If we say de Vattel is the correct interpretation, it is the correct interpretation.”

You don’t want to go there, since the people, in a national election, put in office a man they knew had a foreign born father. In that sense, the PEOPLE spoke, and you are just whining about the results.
