Unlike you, I don't claim to be an expert on the subject, do I?

but you, on the other hand, just keep on trolling these threads and posting your BS nonense.

My "bogus claims", you say? Go ahead and back up your qualifications!

or will you just continue to admit your ignorance with your continued silence?

I've sourced pretty much everything I've posted, at least as far as naming the legal volume or other historical source it came from.

In other words, I've documented everything, my deer, and you or anybody else can look it up for yourself and easily verify for yourself that it's true.

Oh - and incidentally - all of those sources are online.

Let me give you some instruction.

If, for example, if you want to find the quote from James Bayard that says:

“It is not necessary that a man should be born in this country, to be ‘a natural born citizen.’ It is only requisite that he should be a citizen by birth, and that is the case with all the children of citizens who have ever resided in this country, though born in a foreign country.”

you can go to google books search, which is located at books.google.com.

You can paste the quote into the box, and click “Search Books.”

And you will be able to find the original book that quote came from.

If you want to verify what I said about Chief Justice John Marshall, Justice Joseph Story, Chancellor James Kent and other distinguished jurists of the early United States approving Bayard’s work, that’s in the Preface to I think any edition after the original 1833 one. So it’s in the 1834 second edition, the 1840 edition, and so forth.

If you want to verify that James Bayard’s father was known as the “High Priest of the Constitution,” or that his grandfather was Richard Bassett, our United States Senator #1 of the First Congress and one of the 39 Delegates who Signed the Constitution, that’s all online too. You just have to do some searching.

I’m sure even you can do it.

Unless, of course, you just want to be a useful little patsy for people who feed you pretty-sounding Constitutional bullsh*t.
