And with all that text in that link, there does not appear to be any legislation that defines natural born citizen.

And as I recall, Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Scalia, Thomas and Alito have had multiple opportunity to take the Obama NBC case and have refused.

Ya, I pretty much came to the same conclusion. Oh well, welcome to July 24, 2009, US of A.

Still, there are two other points that need to be considered.

1) The preponderance of evidence seems to indicate that Obami is not a “natural born” citizen. His reluctance to show his birth certificate, or any other of his records. The fact that he has spent almost on million dollars to keep it under wraps, rather than spending $10 to put an end to the controversy (which is weakening both himself and the military). The fact that he has admitted his fathers British citizenship. The recording of his granny saying that he was born in Kenya, etc. etc. While there may not be an exact definition of "natural born" citizen in place, I think the combination of his being born in Kenya, and his father being a British citizen, should pretty much seal the deal.

2) People seems to think that we should be attacking him on other fronts instead of this one. I didn't know that it was an either/or situation. We should continue this attack, and attack on other fronts as well. Attack on ALL fronts. NEVER LET UP, on ANY front. As far as the MSN calling us crazy, this is just right out of the Alinski playbook. Ridicule is a powerful weapon. Personally, I think our suspicions have a pretty solid grounding. If people want to call me a “kook”, or a “conspiracy nut”, I'll just file that under “ya, whatever”. We need to keep up this attack. I'm not expecting it to be a knock-out blow, it's just one more thing to hurt him and weaken him.

God, you're a dunce. There can't be any legislation because it is in the Constitution. Nothing the Legislative Branch, or the Executive or Judicial Branch, can say about it. The Constitution is higher than they are.

And as I recall, Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Scalia, Thomas and Alito have had multiple opportunity to take the Obama NBC case and have refused.

And what precedent are they to follow? You don't know, because you don't have the slightest clue what you are talking about.

In my Constitutional Law class, the subject of 'naturalized citizen' came up and the professor wondered openly to the class why the founders put that in there (this was in early 2000s). To a Con Law scholar, it is one of those fun puzzles. Founders obviously put it in there for a reason. What would it be?

Anyway, the reason why the Supreme Court has not dealt with this issue is because there is absolutely no precedent. If the Supreme Court did go on this issue, they would not only be doing something the Supreme Court has never done before, they would also be going against the Executive Branch and the Legislative Branch wouldn't be too happy. They would also be going against the American people who gave the votes to the guy.

Remember when John Roberts botched the Presidential Oath? Accidental slip-up? I don't think so. He knows. He is also being bullied by the Obama types. If every other high ranking member of the government is getting bullied, why not Supreme Court justices?

But there is one element that cannot be bullied: the American people. As Rush as said, the birth certificate issue has been bubbling up. This is why the media is a massive campaign to attempt to stomp the sprout before it grows into the unmovable tree.

Maybe, just maybe the reason they won't touch it is because there is no basis for it.

Just sayin’.
