First, that’s a false assumption. The state supreme court most likely didn’t want to embarrass the Indiana appeals court because their opinion isn’t worth dog poop.
ASSUMPTION=”The state supreme court most likely didn’t . . .”
For the last time, from Ankeny:
The Birfers: “Contrary to the thinking of most people on the subject, there’s a very clear distinction between a ‘citizen of the United States’ and a ‘natural born citizen.’(page 12)”
The Ankeny Court: “Based upon the language of Art. II, Section 1, Clause 4 and the guidance provided by Wong Kim Ark, we conclude that persons born within the borders of the United States are “Natural Born Citizens” for Art. II, section 1. purposes, regardless of the citizenship of the parents.” (Page 17)”
That’s ONE SENTENCE. Pretty hard to get wrong. It’s LAW. Its PUBLISHED.
Born within the borders=NBC, regardless of parental citizenship
parsy
That would be Article II, Section 1, Clause 5. Indiana, not Clause 4.
And from Indiana's opinion:
"15 We note the fact that the Court in Wong Kim Ark did not actually pronounce the plaintiff a “natural born Citizen” using the Constitution‟s Article II language is immaterial. For all but forty-four people in our nation‟s history (the forty-four Presidents), the dichotomy between who is a natural born citizen and who is a naturalized citizen under the Fourteenth Amendment is irrelevant. The issue addressed in Wong Kim Ark was whether Mr. Wong Kim Ark was a citizen of the United States on the basis that he was born in the United States. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. at 705, 18 S. Ct. at 478. We reiterate that we do not address the question of natural born citizen status for persons who became United States citizens at birth by virtue of being born of United States citizen parents, despite The Plaintiffs do not mention the above United States Supreme Court authority in their complaint or brief;..."
They were irrelevant and immaterial to the issue??? That was the real issue whether or not Obama or Wong were natural born citizens. Indiana was talking out both sided of its ass. The case you love Parsy is worth dog-crap.
Born within the borders=NBC, regardless of parental citizenship
You should have given the small print they spewed a look-see. They fooled you, but you like being the court jester.
It's the law in Indiana, nowhere else.
You Nimrod ... the ONLY Court this counts in is SCOTUS. The rulings of inferior courts can be AND are often wrong - after the appeal gets to SCOTUS. Otherwise, there would be no need to have a SCOTUS - as well as Courts of Appeal.
Hell, while we're at it - no need for State Courts, we could just set up "Judge Roy Beans" around the country and have them administer the law.
You putz ...
