Why don't you go through each and every post and point out the ones where I was "AGAINST asking for a simple requirement in the Constitution to be observed..."

You like so many others are confusing the messenger with the message. Shoot the messenger if he brings you news you do not like.

If I tell you that the speed limit on a highway is 55 mph it does not mean that I agree with the speed limit.

This type of rationalization (blaming the messenger) is the exact same type of thinking that gets people drawing conclusions about the case that no clear thinking person ever could. Some here have actually implied that if the Supreme Court refuses to hear this case, justices such as Thomas and Roberts and Alito would only rule that way to cave into blacks wishes or fear of riots. That is plain stupid and it demeans conservatives to give such talk any credence.

What is sad and pathetic is the lack of reasoning on FR. The discourse went from a discussion about whether this case will be successful to I lack character because certain people disagree with me.

We have people who picked up a law dictionary and are suddenly constitutional experts. We have people rationalize that even if Obama was born in Hawaii, he can not be a natural born citizen because his father created a dual citizenship for him. They refuse to even consider that this country has consistently ruled that no third party can give up your citizenship for you. You must affirmatively give it up yourself.

The irrationality hit a high point when I was criticized for bring up such trivia as mere legal rules of the court, even when that is what this is all about. Its not about Obama's Birth Certificate right now. It about who has the right to bring a case and who has the right to demand evidence. Some posters say everyone in the country has standing to bring this case, without ever looking at the Federal Rules of Civil procedure and the Federal Court rules which define standing.

The U.S. Court system is not anarchy. And rules are rules and laws are laws whether you agree with them or not. And that is a good thing.

Why is that 'stupid'? You talk about laws and rules, but in this case a 'national interest' can be cited, and there are precedents for rulings citing some abstract 'interest'.
