You clearly have a serious problem when it comes to language comprehension.

I guess there must be an awful lot of lawmakers on Capitol Hill that suffer from the same "comprehension" problem.

Nice how you weasel out of the original context of that comment.

As for the lawmakers on Capitol Hill, are you kidding me? I wouldn't give you two cents for the lot of 'em. You'd think their only job was to keep the Government Printing Office in business, printing fatter and fatter budgets and fatter and fatter tax codes.

That Senate resolution declaring McCain to be a natural born citizen was passed by unanimous consent (including everyone on the Judiciary Committee).

First, it was just a simple resolution, which had absolutely no force of law. Second, did you ever actually read it? You'd think they had never even heard of the Fourteenth Amendment. They weaseled around it just like you have weaseled around your claim that the US military was some sort of extra-constitutional entity, operating wholly outside the Constitution itself.

Avoiding the issue.

First, it was just a simple resolution, which had absolutely no force of law. Second, did you ever actually read it? You'd think they had never even heard of the Fourteenth Amendment. They weaseled around it just like you have weaseled around your claim that the US military was some sort of extra-constitutional entity, operating wholly outside the Constitution itself.

First of all, they assert that there really is no need to have the force of law in the first place. Secondly, they have read the Fourteenth Amendment.

I never claimed that the military operated outside of the Constitution; just that the Constitution recognized two different jurisdictions, procedures and exemptions for civilians and the military. McCain's father remained under the direct jurisdiction of the U.S. due to his status as a military officer.

For starters, what exactly is wrong about Tribe and Olson's arguments...? Please be specific.
