You are wrong -— what you posted no longer holds water. Natural Law and Common Law only count when there is no Constitutional guidance or legislative guidance. Now there IS.

Rubio is QUALIFIED -— and only crack pots think otherwise.

That is just the way it is. NOBODY in the legal profession, save a very small number of quacks, agrees with you. NO elected officials of any weight agree with you..

I'm sorry you so scornfully chose to disagree with my post #31, let alone all the other posters that also agree with the supreme court.

It's unfortunate you chose such angry rhetoric to express your completely unsupported position.

There are some great legal minds here on FR that have written extensively on this subject -- I'm pinging at least two of them. Perhaps you would like to elaborate on why they are "quacks".

In the interest of posterity, are you of the class "jerkis soli" (from a place full of jerks) or "jerkus sanguinis" (a jerk based on ancestry)? At any rate, it appears you meet the highest of jerk requirements, meaning both parents must have been jerks, whose offspring is clearly a "natural born jerk".

Bookmarked that thread. Thanks for posting the link. Didn’t a Georgia judge just rule that Obama cannot be on the Georgia primary ticket because he is not a NBC?

I wanted to let you know your post really made me ROFALMAO!

Thanks! :-)

again, Natural Law and Common Law can be and often are over ridden by LEGISLATION!

You have no case.

Dang. I don’t need a law degree or any knowledge of what the so-called constitutional law experts say or care to. Furthermore, I don’t care if we who know the truth are outnumbered 100-1 or worse.

How’s bout some NATURAL COMMON SENSE? Citizen at birth? Okeeeeey dokey. Words do mean things, and if plain ol’ vanilla “citizen” is all you need to express what is meant, then why go to all the trouble and wasted words and ink and put in there the term “natural born”. I don’t even need to see any contemporaneous thoughts expressed in other documentation or a SCOTUS decision to see the delusional twistings of thought needed to dismiss it so cavalierly.

Whatever. I’m done with this conversation. Won’t waste my words on closed minds that expect me to suspend natural reasoning, sheesh
