Edited to clarify Jeff's well reasoned and logical argument.

That's good. You've shown you can distort a person's words to pull attention away from the substantive points.

Of course you're quite skilled in word-twisting. You've been doing it with the words of people like Jacob Howard, James Monroe (in the Eldred affair), the United States Supreme Court (in Minor and Wong) for a long time now.

Those ARE your substantive points. Were it not so, you wouldn't have used such language. The underlying theme of your argument is "You are a moron because you do not agree with what *I* tell you."

Yes, quoting him verbatim is completely unfair. I should truncate his statement in the manner you did with John Bingham's words and meaning. As you have set the standard for deceit, I am way behind and need to catch up.

Yes, pointing out that a Chief Justice of the Supreme court is unable to find the definition for "natural born citizen" written into the 14th amendment is just a dirty trick.

Chief Justice Morrison Waite. March 29, 1875

"The Constitution does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens."
