"For CNN, or MSNBC, or you, Geraldo - the liberal on Fox - bringing this out as if it's an issue, you know, it's just a few cranks out there. It's like when the networks bring on the three remaining Klanners in America."

George Will:
Huckabee, now a Fox News host, was asked by Steve Malzberg, a talk radio host, this:
“Don’t you think it’s fair also to ask [Barack Obama] . . . how come we don’t have a health record, we don’t have a college record, we don’t have a birth cer — why, Mr. Obama, did you spend millions of dollars in courts all over this country to defend against having to present a birth certificate. It’s one thing to say, I’ve — you’ve seen it, goodbye. But why go to court and send lawyers to defend against having to show it? Don’t you think we deserve to know more about this man?”
Huckabee should have replied, “I’ve seen paranoia, goodbye.”
But the nominee may emerge much diminished by involvement in a process cluttered with careless, delusional, egomaniacal, spotlight-chasing candidates to whom the sensible American majority would never entrust a lemonade stand, much less nuclear weapons.

I don't think either is on your side. Why would they secretly embrace the two citizen parent argument while publicly saying Obama is eligible?
I am fully aware that both have publicly dismissed the issue. What you cannot seem to comprehend is the fact that their arguments go straight to the heart of the issue.
The fact that both of them agree that the children of Illegal Aliens cannot be citizens because they are "not subject to the jurisdiction thereof" means that anyone in this circumstance also cannot regard the 14th amendment as the source of citizenship for themselves.
The fact that their arguments contradict their opinion of the birther issue is an irony which has yet to be realized by either.
I have also recently discovered two more Scholars who agree with my side.
The Expatriation Act of 1868 led President Ulysses S. Grant to write, in 1873, that the United States had "led the way in the overthrow of the feudal doctrine of perpetual allegiance".Dr. Edward J. Erler of California State University, San Bernardino, and Dr. Brook Thomas of the University of California, Irvine, have argued that this Act was an explicit rejection of birth-right citizenship as the ground for American citizenship, basing that argument on the debate that surrounded the passage of this act.
