There is a Constitutional "scholar" who deems himself eligible to the Presidency despite very murky circumstances surrounding birth and a nonresident alien father, Mojave.

You deem Barack Obama the equivalent of Edwin Meese, the former Attorney General of the United States under Ronald Reagan and the hundred or so contributing scholars for the Heritage Foundation? Fascinating.

BTW, thanks for outing yourself.

Scholars don't have anything to do with the legality of the matter unless they exert some sort of influence through an amicus brief or soemthing, Mojave, and even then their role is peripheral. Their opinions, learned though they may be, do not carry the weight of law, let alone Constitutionality. And, Edwin Meese, nice guy, loyal to Reagan and a fine Attorney General. But, even he never had the authority to amend the Constitution, or to dictate any legal interpretation of the terms pertaining to eligibility for the office of President.

So, this game of gotcha isn't quite working out for you. Maybe you can argue from the facts of the matter. There are differing schools of thought, and you do not belong to the same school as I do, clearly. Trying to tar me with wild claims of attacking Ed Meese is just pointless mudslinging.

Good night.
