Just looking here it’s a wonder the 9 in SCOTUS wouldn’t be taking on the Donofrio case. One would have to think they have disgorged these five articles. One would have to think the four conservatives and at least one other would issue or want to issue decision.
In haste I post. It’d take me a lot of time to study as I should. Just passing it on without comment, except my real PC has just had its famous pre-repair crash now back from the shop a week. I’ve also lost my long ping list so do as you would, please. Someone should get this to Donofrio, really. I just don’t, in what I’ve scrolled through here, think he’s onto some of this anyways. My files are trapped in a CPU that won’t turn on as of less than an hour ago. Of course there are many references to his cited materials but there are things…well, maybe I’m dreaming.
Here is the one FR post from this I found in quick search of “Natural Born Citizen”.
Originalism and the Natural Born Citizen Clause 10/22/2008 6:31:48 PM PDT • by Dajjal • 7 replies • 707+ views
There are four more entries that go back to Sept 13 – didn’t FR lose files with a server change back around here? I believe I caught it on Atlas Shruggs, where I was lurking / mining back then, along with Godlikeproductions (yes, of all places) and TexasDarlin. I didn’t join FR until later.
I'm sure you agree worthy of (re) post now.
Here goes:

The Natural-Born Citizen Clause and Presidential Eligibility

Sorry for this second post, it should have been the first.
Big John lost back in November.........its over, let it go.........

They get their facts wrong in the first sentence. John McCain was not born in the Panama Canal Zone. He was born in the Republic of Panama.
Mich Law Review has the wrong guy ,he’s the one who raised all that money and just wanted to eat his waffles.
(tic)~(tic)...;0)
It’s irrelevant now since McCain lost, but it might suddenly become relevant the next time a candidate is born outside the US territory. Of course, if the candidate happens to be a Democrat, the Michigan Law Review will insist that this article was a bunch of bull.
Oh my, more grist for Leo’s mill ... which grinds very finely.
Though it's a moot point right now, that seems to be debatable. I've seen McCain's birth certificate, and it is bilingual, with English ahead of Spanish, and was issued under the auspices of the "Panama Canal Commission," not under the auspices of the Republic of Panama. My take is that the hospital in which he was born was United States property and under the jurisdiction of the US Navy.
It's amazing that this law review article kicks around the constitutional eligibility question for McCain and neglects Obama's much more tenuous constitutional eligibility status. But then again, I'm sure you're aware of the political biases of most legal academicians.
What’s sauce for the goose should be sauce for the gander. But somehow the democrats always manage to get out of the consequences that apply to everyone else.
Well, it seems very interesting to me.
Of course, it’s typical of liberals to have a full bore symposium on McCain’s eligibility, sponsored by a highly respected law review, but to completely ignore the question of Obama’s eligibility.
But, of course, it also shows that a respected law review and a number of constitutional lawyers consider the question of natural born citizenship to be very important, and enough to rule out any candidate who doesn’t properly qualify. If that applies to McCain, then it applies to Obama or anyone else who runs for president.
That’s why I’ve said that Donofrio was right to question all of the candidates in his suit. Every candidate should be properly vetted. That appears to have been done in the case of McCain, but no harm in raising the issue. It has NOT been done in the case of Obama.
Many thanks, BonRad.
This makes it very interesting in the political arena.

Thanks, LucyT
And a musical Ping to you!
If you haven't seen this, it makes for interesting reading; particularly 7 FAM 1110 through 1140.
A small part of me wanted him disqualified because maybe it would wake up some of the pro illegals that someone who was born overseas because his father was serving our country was ineligible but if his mother had skipped across the border and had him he would be even if she was an illegal!
Here is the website to the guy who wrote the first article... http://www.law.arizona.edu/Faculty/getprofile.cfm?facultyid=147
I’m going to write him an email to ask his opinion of the current ‘conspiracy’ regarding obammy’s BC.
I’m wondering why we don’t here from these people now? Is it because of the msm blackout? Or they are protecting their boy?
Very good link.
