FDR was born at Hyde Park NY, USA. That's according to Mrs. Rushby's 5th Grade Class (http://www.mohonasen.org/grade5/P_Rushby/FDR/fdrbio1.htm).

I'm not one for calling detremining CONSTITUTIONAL requirements "blowback". In fact as a citizen it is a duty to do so, but as a high US Official, or an elected US Senator or Representative, or Judge - it is a sworn obligation.
Yes, indeed it most assuredly the case that I would want this heard, and the issue determined. As a baby born at the very start of the jet age, Obama's case is typical of our modern smaller world and we should not fear but fear itself to make the law clear so as to avoid problems like a recurring, and precedents working further and further out a weak limb.

We don't want elections fought in the courts before unelected judges parsing vague words.
If there is a real issue then by all means it should be heard. But in these cases (McCain's and Obama's) there is little foundation in either fact or law and I think the courts are being used to harass.
