That's too obviously true. HOWEVER, I don't see legal minds of the caliber of Roberts, Scalia, and 3 or 4 other justices just shrugging this issue aside. Would these types of minds and egos want their reputation for all time to reflect that they just didn't give a damn about the plain wording of the Constitution?
That makes no sense to me at all.

I would like to believe that Chief Justice Roberts, along with Justices Scalia, Alito and Thomas will constitute the 4 judges that will choose to take up this issue. I cannot imagine those four jurists deciding that to determine the eligibility of an alleged natural citizen to serve in the highest office in the Land is an inconsequential matter.

If they fail to address this issue properly, our Republic is lost.

Justice Roberts can just refer to the words of Zero himself.

"Let me also say that I remain distressed that the White House during this confirmation process, which overall went smoothly, failed to provide critical documents as part of the record that could have provided us with a better basis to make our judgment with respect to the nomination. This White House continues to stymie efforts on the part of the Senate to do its job. I hope with the next nominee who comes up for the Supreme Court that the White House recognizes that in fact it is its duty not just to the Senate but to the American people to make sure we can thoroughly and adequately evaluate the record of every single nominee who comes before us."

One of the major goals of Gramscian marxism is to destroy the people's confidence in their major institutions, such as the electoral processes, government entities, academia, churches, etc., through corruption, infiltration, incremental changes, twisting of language, -- what Gramsci called, "the long march through the institutions."

We've already lost too much. This is the jumping-off place, and there is no place left to run or hide.

The United States is a creation of the states and the people, an agreement to unite as a nation of states; the US Constitution is the contract that binds the compact between the states, and the people of those states. If the US Constitution is rendered void by some magnanimous or flippant ruling, then the nation it represents is simply void.

The only legitimate entities will be the people and the states, and whatever other entities they may choose to construct for their future wellbeing.

All those federal people running around with uniforms and guns will be just so many armed thugs, with no legitimate authority. That would make our good ole US of A like just about any place in Africa.
