The judge wrote, “This Court recognizes that the Wong Kim Ark case was not deciding the meaning of “natural born citizen” for the purposes of determining presidential qualifications; however, this Court finds the Indiana Court’s analysis and reliance on these cases to be persuasive.”

Like every other court to look at these issues, it was persuaded by the ARGUMENT in WKA. Yes, in the absence of a formal ruling, DICTA from the Supreme Court, particularly dicta that has been followed and used repeatedly for over 100 years, IS used to guide court decisions.

As I have written to you many times in the past, birthers need to comprehend the arguments and try to answer them, instead of ignoring them and then losing case after case after case. Birthers who ignore WKA will not win in court. Period.

Not even when the other side refuses to show up...

I'll repeat the challenge for you and any other after-birther:

Quote the part of the 14th Amendment that has the term “natural born Citizen” in it.

The root problem is quite simple, 0bama will NEVER demonstrate he is eligible for any office. 0bama’s past will always be sealed. The burden of proof lies with 0bama, and no one will “hold 0bama’s feet to the fire”
Second, we have the added difficulty to prove a negative.
