Well, I'm not retired yet, but I've been contemplating it more after a huge spate of work the last six months.

I respect your feelings on this matter, but the reason more lawyers don't take it up is because it doesn't really offer any opportunities for success. The issue of standing is all but insurmountable in most cases. As long as Hawaii says Obama was born there, the full faith and credit clause requires other states to accept that. And the interpretation of law as cribbed by the Georgia judge from Arkeny is accepted as a given in the profession. You simply aren't going to find many, if any, judges willing to entertain the two-citizen parent theory. And there's no way the Supreme Court will buy it.

Whatever one may personally believe, those are the cards dealt. Believe me, if this case was viable, there would be a number of high profile attorneys seeking fame from it. That there aren't says it all.

And this is what I warned people about. The notion that being born in a country makes one a citizen is ubiquitous throughout the legal profession. We may be right on the facts, but the Legal system is virtually united on their misunderstanding of the law. They can't even comprehend the argument against it.

It is but another reason that much of the system needs to be cleaned out root and branch.
