That is, the man's father was a foreigner. That is the beginning and the end of the eligibility story.

Unfortunately, that is merely your opinion. Not a fact.

If that definition of a "natural-born citizen" was widely shared, somebody would've raised their hand and broached a question months before the 2008 election. Nobody did.

Ipso facto, almost all jurists, legal minds and political animals hold a contrary opinion.

Who's right? I don't know. And neither do you, though you're entitled to your opinion. And you are absolutely right -- the eligibility question absolutely must be addressed and firmly resolved...forever.

Therein lies the tragedy in all of this. We should know. We have been failed by the institutions whose sworn duty is to tell us. Personally, I would be disappointed to learn that my opinion is incorrect. But as you say, at this stage in the game, it should no longer be a matter of my opinion or yours, but a settled issue. How the hell do we get there? And you are absolutely right -- the eligibility question absolutely must be addressed and firmly resolved...forever.

A we lurch toward the elections of 2012, everyone is hoping that BHO, Jr. will resolve his shabby part in all of this by not running. But the question must be addressed lest other impostors claim Obama as some sort of precedent.

But what if he does run? Is there one Republican candidate who will take this to court? I see none.
