If you hate the term “birthers”, why did you use it? Perjoratively?
(Rhetorical question, btw.)
For lack of any other, better term.
Look, Berg BELIEVES Obama is not a NBC. He has no proof, but he believes it. So does Orly, only she also BELIEVES that you need two citizen parents to be a NBC. So do many here, despite the facts that have been presented over and over again — the Supreme Court cases, the U.S. Code, etc.
Should the Supreme Court rule specifically on NBC? Yes, but it needs a case presented to it. Only a fellow-candidate has standing to do that.
We blew it last year. The Republicans blew it. They cudda, shudda told McCain to file a lawsuit. But the trouble was that HE had his own NBC issue. I don’t know whether he is a NBC or not. His case is quite complicated. I think it has to do with which of two laws governs his citizenship.
There is nothing wrong with a statute clarifying who is and who is not a citizen at birth; what’s prohibited is a statute that makes aliens into citizens. Those citizens cannot be NBC, by definition. But people here refuse to accept the U.S. statute that defines who is a citizen at birth (in other words, a NBC). Why? That is unreasonable. That is clinging to a belief that is not based on fact.
