Well, if everyone is waiting for the Supreme Court to make a determination of the eligibility question on Obama and they do decide and it’s not the way that people here want it — then who is next “up the ladder”...

It beginning to seem that there is no authority in the entire land, no matter where it exists in the Constitution or anywhere that would suffice as an answer — if — it did not agree with your own opinion. It doesn’t seem like it’s a country of laws — but rather a country of opinions... now...

You seem like you are in a muddle. This is also a typical state that liberals enter when discussing law and the Constitution. They make it seem like both sids are equally subjective on the issue even though it is themselves who want to not be objective in regards to the facts. Conservatives on this issue want the rule of law to be upheld, yet you are arguing based upon the past case of Arthur that it dosent really matter.

It's called "consent of the governed."

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed...
