See, twisting it around. So, typical. If you have no sources but “it’s right because I said so.” The only two arguments you naysayers have is Ark and that it’s not been defined. We all know the arguments for and against Ark. Ark is one decision by one judge but there are many sources throughout history which are to the contrary. As for the Constitution not defining NBC, well, guess what?!? Surprise, it’s not a dictionary. And no, anyone over the age of 18 months didn’t need to run to the SCOTUS to find out what the meaning of “is” is.

this is a bunk issue as it was bunk yesterday when the other world nut daily article was posted.

obama is not setting a precident, assuming he was born in hawaii, he is following precident based on previous presidents and presidential candidates’ eligibility.

This is a sacraficial annode issue. It detracts from the real issues. How about we find a real good candidate not the current posse of anticipated and declared candidates.

how about we hold congress’ feet to the fire so they do what they were elected to do.

This issue is pure junk and is out there for suckers.

I have no idea what you're referring to when you say "twisting it around."

Of course the Constitution isn't a dictionary.

Its terms have to be defined by intent.

And divining intent by saying: "just check Vattel or the 1790 Naturalization Act or the comments made by Judge A in case X or by majority B in case Y" doesn't solve the issue.

A hard and fast definition covering all the angles of the issue has yet to be offered by any "authority", or found in the writings of any Founder, or in the legislation of any Congress or the decisions of any court.
