You’re entitled to your opinion, the Justices are entitled to their’s. The difference is that their opinion carries legal weight and your’s doesn’t.

This is a poor argument. Whether the Justices' opinion has more legal weight than mine doesn't prove that my opinion is wrong, nor was the amount of legal weight being disputed.

The direct quote comes from the Indiana Court of Appeals’ decision itself.

You said I failed to understand that the court stipulated Obama was born in Honolulu, yet you've failed to show any such stipulation in anything you've quoted. Can I expect a retraction??

I see, so you have no interest in whether there is an adjudication of the issue of whether Barack Obama is a legitimate president or not as long as you feel that you are right. Interesting.

“You said I failed to understand that the court stipulated Obama was born in Honolulu, yet you’ve failed to show any such stipulation in anything you’ve quoted. Can I expect a retraction??”

By arguing the “two American born parents are required to be natural born” argument and not the “Obama was not born in the US” argument, the plaintiffs were stipulating to Obama being born in Hawaii. The plaintiffs even used the factcheck.org article on Obama’s COLB as was mentioned in the Justices’ decision.
