Well kiddies we really shook them up yesterday with our post revealing the US Supreme Court’s most on point decision regarding the definition of “natural-born citizen” in the case of Minor v. Happersett which was decided six years after the 14th Amendment was adopted. They were quick to respond weren’t they.
After building up the main stream media pressure for the last week for what was sure to be a long form BC in the face, they were confronted with a severe blow to the mantra that the 14th Amendment defines “natural born citizen”. It doesn’t and SCOTUS confirms this in Minor. Their response was an emergency statement by Hawaii’s Department of Health which seeks to stop the fire we started yesterday. Their response was literally concocted only hours after our last post.
To recap, yesterday we proved that the most on point and controlling decision in our entire history of SCOTUS jurisprudence with regard to the definition of the term “natural-born citizen” – the Minor case – unequivocally states that the definition of “natural-born citizen” is not defined in the Constitution. This analysis destroys the Obama eligibility supporter mantra that 14th Amendment “native born” citizenship is equal to “natural-born” citizenship.
SCOTUS clearly states in Minor, six years after the adoption of the 14th Amendment, that the definition of “natural-born citizen” is not found in the Constitution:
The Constitution does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common-law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners. Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of their [88 U.S. 162, 168] parents. As to this class there have been doubts, but never as to the first. For the purposes of this case it is not necessary to solve these doubts.
That passage establishes two important legal facts which cannot be overturned by any Birth Certificate.:
1. it establishes as precedent that the definition of natural-born citizen is not contained in the body of the Constitution and that we must look elsewhere for the definition
2. it establishes doubt that persons born in the US to foreign parents can be President
This is the most on point decision in our legal history as a nation regarding the definition of the Article 2 Section 1 Clause 5 requirement that the President be a natural-born citizen. As such, it not only deserves respect – it demands it.
Yet, apparently Yahoo news and every other main stream news source in the country would have you believe that Hawaii Department of Health Director Dr. Chiyome Fukino is a better Constitutional scholar and source of law than our own Supreme Court precedent.
Only hours after I posted my analysis of the Minor case, Fukino issued the following statement:
“I … have seen the original vital records maintained on file by the Hawaii State Department of Health verifying Barack Hussein Obama was born in Hawaii and is a natural-born American citizen…”
Wow! Fukino has transmogrified the Constitution. She, and she alone is the sole arbiter of who is and who isn’t a natural-born citizen. Incredible. Where did she get her law degree? Or is she simply the great legal oracle of our generation. Have we discovered, as the monks discover the new Dalai Llama, the legendary great legal oracle of our generation?
Since the Supreme Court has stated in Minor that the definition of “natural-born citizen” is not found in the Constitution, then 14th Amendment citizenship does not establish that any of us are natural-born citizens eligible to be President. The Supreme Court makes it clear as the sun that we have to look beyond the Document for such a determination. Not just for Obama, but for any of us seeking to be President. The natural born citizen requirement was meant to protect the nation from foreign invasion and influence.
The Minor case also tells us that doubts exist as to whether native born persons of foreign parents can be natural-born citizens. And with that SCOTUS decision is supposed to come legal precedent and respect. But apparently the great legal oracle Fukino thinks because she maintains a database of birth records, she is now an authority on Constitutional law.
And this is where our main stream media goes for Constitutional law advice – to Hawaii’s Department of Health Director.
Well Fukino, since the Supreme Court states you must look outside the Constitution to determine the meaning of “natural-born citizen”, please tell us where you went to make this monumental announcement that Obama is a natural-born citizen. Please do tell. Because as we’ve said all along at this blog, we believe Obama was born in Hawaii.
We’ve also said that when push comes to shove Hawaii is going to verify that Obama was born in Hawaii.
Now Hawaii is going even further than we anticipated. Not only is Hawaii saying Obama was born in Hawaii, Hawaii is also now defining natural-born citizen for the rest of United States history.
Yes, it’s true, Fukino mandates from her little cubicle at the Department of Health in Hawaii that she has overruled the US Supreme Court in Minor v. Happersett and she has seen the light of legal truth and all doubts mentioned by SCOTUS in Minor can now be discarded. The great legal oracle of Hawaii has spoken.
What a load of crap this is. Thanks to all the BC fringe for giving such power to the BC. I’ve told you a million times that the BC does not matter at all. If Obama were born on the mall in DC in a manger rocked by Ronald Reagan sipping a Martini while reading a masonic Bible with a million man march full of witnesses, Obama would still not be eligible to be President.
The Supreme Court has unequivocally expressed such doubts in Minor. And that being said, I will admit that while SCOTUS has expressed such doubts, they have never defined “natural-born citizen” either. While I believe the great weight of evidence proves he is not eligible, I will not be as low down filthy as the opposition and tell you that the law has been determined. It has not. But it should be. And that’s what I’ve been saying all along.
SCOTUS expressed their doubts about Obama’s eligibility in Minor. The current court should have clarified the issue with a decision. Obama should have asked them to clarify such an important doubt by bringing the Arizona sworn affirmation to them and asking whether he could sign it without committing perjury.
But the great legal oracle Fukino manages to save the day only hours after the Supreme Court’s Minor decision was finally decoded to reveal beyond any doubt that…
“native born” does not = “natural born” …
Not according to the US Supreme Court – not for Obama and not for any of us.
If you want to be President, you have to prove more than just the fact that you are a citizen of this country. You must prove you are a “natural-born citizen” and Fukino can’t prove that by showing a long form Obama BC. And neither can Obama. And neither can you.
That’s right. None of us have a long form BC which can prove we are eligible to be President because, as far as I can tell, while our long form birth certificates contain the names and residences of our parents, they do not contain citizenship information. Since 14th Amendment citizenship, according to SCOTUS in Minor, does not define “natural-born citizen”, the court states that we must look elsewhere to make that decision.
The court unequivocally stated in Minor that we should look at the nationality of the parents and if the parents are US citizens, and the child is born in the US, then the child is a natural-born citizen of the US. If the child is subject to a foreign nationality through a parent then there are doubts which were clearly expressed by SCOTUS in Minor. Obama’s father was NEVER a US citizen. Obama also admits that his birth status was governed by Great Britain. Obama chose the word “governed”, not me.
But Fukino has overruled the United States Supreme Court today in a direct assault on the legal truths exposed by this blog yesterday. What an amazing turn of events. At least we’ve discovered who the great legal oracle of our generation is. It’s not Obama and it’s not me. It’s Fukino. She is the greatest legal mind of our generation. All hail the great legal oracle form Hawaii.
