Well if you are going to read that case then you should listen to the oral argument in Nguyen because it is a big part of the discussion.
Nice bedtime reading but Not relevant to eligibility for the presidency. Does not deal with natural born citizenship, only with citizenship of certain persons born outside USA. They’re both round fruits but apples and oranges are still very different, IMHO.
Cruz is ineligible.
has a court yet come to a decision?
Years ago people on FR proved that Justia took and left stuff out. It’s as worthless as snopes.
There are some problems with Justia...... Justa warning.
Justia in 2008 tangled with the State of Oregon when it downloaded and republished the State Statutes without either informing the state or gaining its permission, in violation of copyright law. Dexter Johnson, the head of the Office of Oregon State Legislative Counsel Committee reported that the Committee received information that the State Statutes were available at a website other than the state. Upon investigation, the Committee ultimately decided not to pursue legal action against Justia for copyright violation; instead, “the committee decided to waive its copyright on the Oregon Revised Statutes going forward,” said Johnson in a phone interview.
It is left to a user of Justia to verify the information to be found within its pages, despite a disclaimer of “Full Text of Case” on its pages. Upon inquiry with the U.S. Supreme Court, Patricia McCabe Estrada, deputy public information officer of the U.S. Supreme Court, responded that “the official opinions of the Supreme Court are posted on the Court’s Website and we don’t generally monitor other sites.”
Johnson says Oregon also does not have a monitoring policy in place. When asked how a person using Justia’s services would know if he were receiving accurate information or not, Johnson replied:
The only way, it seems to me, would be to compare that with what’s on the legislature’s website. In which case you might as well go directly to the legislature’s website. It’s one of the reasons why we had originally suggested that they have their website simply point in the direction of our own.
Justia publishes SCOTUS cases with the positive affirmation “Full Text of Case.” Clearly this was not done with regards to the specific opinions it redacted and covered up. Whether a violation of law or not, various non-profit agencies, students, law firms, and private researchers who relied upon Justia’s services remain in the dark, unable to determine if their research materials were altered by Justia, as the company has released neither what it redacted nor in what cases. Without an effective means of verifying accuracy, Justia’s transparency and credibility are questionable.
