And you're correct. They have absolutely nothing to support the position from case law or the writings of the Framers.

Correction. We have a lot. You just don't like it because it contradicts your own personal preference.

It all began when people started twisting the Constitution because they didn't like Obama. Unfortunately, that was tolerated.

You use the word "tolerated" as applied to freedom of speech and you have the nerve to tell *US* what is the meaning of Constitutional terms? You are a piece of work.

I started this with NO personal preference at all. It would have been fine by me if the Framers had said "nobody but people born on US soil of citizen parents."

But that's not what they said.

In any event, you're right... sort of.

I DON'T like your interminable birther nonsense, because it DOES contradict my own personal preference, which is to respect the Founding Fathers and the Constitution that THEY wrote.

Not you. The FOUNDING FATHERS.

Oh.. and as far as using the word "tolerated" goes, yes, I said it, and I'll say it again.

Those who run public forums, in my opinion, should have stopped tolerating the birther nonsense after it became clear how much nonsense they were putting out. Because it is absolute nonsense, it undermines the Constitution, and it makes conservatives look bad. It makes us look like a bunch of conspiracy kooks who can't even read a court case accurately.

Actually, those who run quite a few public forums did make that decision. RedState won't tolerate birthers. Mark Levin won't tolerate birthers. Rush Limbaugh won't tolerate birthers.
