The reference law review article:
Who’s pinging today?!?
The drumbeat is getting louder but will it “sell”?
Makes absolute perfect sense to me.
The facts and the legal theory seem to be in hand but the nut of standing still must be cracked successfully.

0 does act like a guy who is running as fast as he can to get things done before he’s caught in the web he and his minions have woven.
The only way to know whether Donofrio is right or not is to either a) take it to the Supreme Court with an actual case with properly filled-out paperwork, or b) get a whole series of (actual, not pretend) legal scholars to weigh in.
That’s where it gets a bit cloudy: those who push the N.B.C. line have no plan to get either of those. In fact, some of those on the N.B.C. side of things actually work against their own interests by saying that the cert issue is a red herring.
What they don’t realize is that the cert issue is what the MSM has concentrated on and has continually lied about. If the N.B.C. folks ever decided to help me point out just how the MSM has lied, that could be used to force the MSM into actually looking into the N.B.C. claims with an open mind. Unfortunately, the N.B.C. folks just want to shout in an echo chamber without realizing the impact the MSM has and without realizing that they aren’t going to get anywhere unless they get smarter about how they do things.
Once the armed revolution happens, we can finally get access to all the hidden documents. Until then, we are essentially powerless. We are witnessing what a liberal judiciary can do to a nation.
Still won’t matter.
I mean, get real. The rule of law is a phrase that 0bumble, the dems, and the government-run media are wholly unfamiliar with.
And, though it would have substantial legal merit should standing be resolved, it’s still going to be sold as “oh well”.
The only potential good that would come out of an adverse finding for Obumble would be that any legislation or treaty that he signed would (I believe) a) be considered null and void and b) would be punishable as fraud.
BTTT

The Supreme Court ruled that they were in several cases handed down after this article was written. I guess that they weren't as impressed with Mr. Collins' arguement as Donofrio is.
Later read
This is not about Obama’s citizenship. Donofrio grants the probability of Obama’s citizenship claim. Donfrio is claiming that Obama is a citizen but not a natural born citizen. The SC has skirted around this issue but never addressed it directly.
If you read the article that Donofrio is referencing the author makes the claim that nobody born in the U.S. is a U.S. citizen of any type unless their father was a citizen. That is a position that the Supreme Court has ruled against on several occasions.
In keeping with the modern world, women now (rightfully) have more rights than they did two centuries ago.
