Interesting. Was Mitt's father a US citizen when Mitt was born?
I don't know -- I want it all sorted out, though.
The problem is that these guys are "special people" who live by "special rules" that exempt them from answering questions about any number of dicey subjects -- remember that the Connecticut police didn't get around to asking the Skakel family any really awkward questions for years, until a howl went up in the media -- and that exemption now pretends to include numerous provisions of the Constitution of which their political careers may fall afoul, just because the person seeking the office is deemed "promising" by his shadowy political godfathers.
There is very much a feel of late-Republican partisanship and enmity and willingness to "rise above" the constitution of the State, that forewarned of the death of Roman liberty and the imposition of a tyranny that lasted over 500 years.
