IOW, the judge in this case held the same as every other judge to look at the supposed ‘two-citizen’ requirement - there is none.

Birthers need to read WKA carefully and consider what it says, rather than what they want it to say (or not say).

Mr. Rogers, you could get every lawyer and judge in the nation to assert that there is no such requirement and all you would prove is that the entire collection are ignorant and stupid.

You are not arguing with ignorant people. You are arguing with people who have researched this for themselves and learned what the original intent of the founders was. I doubt any lawyers or judges have gone to such efforts and therefore they are ignorant, and their opinions do not matter. Sure, their POWER matters, but this is an intellectual debate, not one about strength.

Apart from that, I dispute the validity of the notion that a non-unanimous group of judges dealing with a case not directly related to Article II compliance, ought to be regarded as the last word on the issue. In any case, judges aren't the final say, the people are.

“In any case, judges aren’t the final say, the people are. “

And what did the people say in 2008?
