If a person does not use that argument, then bringing it up to argue against it is a straw argument.

I see you didn’t bring up the argument that zer0bama might be afraid of a misspelling on his longform birth certificate and it would prove embarrassing, so he’s expending 6 figures worth of resources to hide that misspelling. And, of course, that argument is completely bogus, here’s how... see how that works?

So why are you defending the usage of straw argumentation? Isn’t your intellectual position secure enough that you can use legitimate reasoning?

Posts #3, 10, 17, 29, 39, 59, 77, 95 on this thread alone have used the argument that the Supreme Court must be corrupt for denying to hear this case. Dozens of comments on other threads concerning this issue over the past couple of weeks have said the same thing.
