....This is a legal issue for lawyers. Why should I care about the “average blogger?”....
Because you are supposed to be a friend of the people.
Since when is eligibility of our President solely the responsibility of the lawyers? We are in deep caca if we leave our fate to the lawyers, they and their elite judges have proven themselves unworthy to let us even have standing to challenge their inaction. They say it is a political question not a legal one so what are we to do? Be uninformed or educate ourselves? A legal decision is not forthcoming, and we are headed to revolt for failure of the legal body to resolve the issue.
Tell me why did the NY BOE change their requirement from Natural Born Citizen to Born a Citizen? Another mistake, this time not involving Justia?

The law is for lawyers. If the electorate wants to make a political issue out of this and vote out Obama, that's fine. Let it do so. But let's not pretend that there are comptent legal experts barking about this issue. The bloggers' position is a political one, not a legal one.
As far as the legal decisions, they've been made. They've ruled in favor of Obama. Heck, there is even a case from 2009 in which this Minor case was argued--and the case was dismissed then, too.

Why do I care what is on the NY BOE website?
