She’s pimping for World Net Daily. Explains a lot.
Cato’s blog has been around for some time. She is pretty legit as far as the birther movement goes. She is a constitutionalist.
You are pimping for Obama which explains a lot.
“She’s pimping for World Net Daily. Explains a lot.”
I like WND.
I’m sorry you don’t .............
She gets my vote to be in F.R.’s Hall of Fame!
She had the guts to tell 535 critters what we all know!!
That the usurper is NOT a NBC, and they need to know that clearly, and she did express it clearly to the whole world!!!
More likely that she is a well-meaning useful idiot, and WorldNetDaily is trying to make a living. WND targets the irate, not those particularly interested in the Constitution, or they would quote our framers rather than try to follow in the footsteps of the National Enquirer.
In all the words I've seen attributed to, or about Ms. Cao, I have not seen Chief Justice John Marshall quoted:
The natives or indigenes (natural born citizens in English translations; Marshall cited the original French Vattel “Law of Nations”) are those born in the country of parents who are citizens.”
Cao or WND didn't cite the originator of the 14th Amendment, Congressman John Bingham who said:
I find no fault with the introductory clause [S 61 Bill], which is simply declaratory of what is written in the Constitution, that every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen….
Neither Cao nor WND cite Chief Justice Morrison Waite whose statement accompanies the annotated Constitution in the National Archives:
“The Constitution does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common-law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners.”
Ms. Cao, and Dr. Lakin are genuinely concerned, but sadly misinformed. The misdirection is almost certainly by design, as Leo Donofrio understood two years ago. This is just what ineligible President Chester Arthur did. He always had a birth certificate, but was born, like Obama, to a British subject father, who finally naturalized when Chester was 14. So Arthur concealed his birth certificate, and was aided by a journalist who kept the midirection alive by writing a book and numerous articles questioning Chester's birthplace, just like WND, Dr. Lakin's legal team, and Ms. Cao. WND put signs on highways, all ignoring the Constitution. (The signs should have asked "Dreams from a Citizen Father?") Chester was born in New Hampshire, just as Barack was probably born in Hawaii. But Obama's birthplace is secondary. Being born to a non-citizen father disqualifies Barack and every legislator knows it. Remember, every Senator signed Senate Res 511 in Apr 2008 in which Pat Leahy agreed with Michael Chertoff who said:
“My assumption and my understanding is that if you are born of American parents, you are naturally a natural-born American citizen,” Chertoff replied. “That is mine, too,” said Leahy."
The issue is the Constitution. There is no doubt because Obama told us that he was born a British subject because his father was a British subject. As Chief Justice Waite told us, the definition comes from our common law, just like most definitions of terms used in the Constitution. The Constitution is not a legal dictionary. It is normal that terms not be defined in the Constitution. Because "felonies" are not defined in the Constitution do we not have a Constitutional basis for prosecution? Obama counts on our ignorance. He never said he was a natural born citizen. He said “I am a native born citizen of the U.S.” Obama is a 14th Amendment citizen. As Wong Kim Ark affirmed, being born on our soil of non-citizen parents establishes citizenship - not natural born citizenship, and they are not equivalent. WKA cites Morrison Waite's definition repeated above for who are natural born citizens. Being born a citizen by nature means, as Bingham pointed out, being born of parents whose sole allegiance is to our nation. Obama Sr. is why John Jay and George Washington decided, in one of the latests revisions of the Constitution, to require citizen parents.
