A federal judge in California has been asked to determine whether McCain meets the legal test to hold the nation’s highest office. Although McCain has called questions about his eligibility nonsense, his campaign, as it did in his first White House run in 2000, sought a review from legal experts to put the issue to rest.

Wouldn't military records have details on where's McCain's family lived when he was born?

Obviously McCain and his team understood the importance regarding the legality of his run for the Presidency.

Not so to most of that. The McCain people never thought this was a threat. And to be fair, it was probably not a threat until it became an Obama problem. Now, it is a threat because there will be a real successful attack on Obama's eligibility to serve as president and McCain will suffer collateral damage.

The opinion McCain's people got was political. It is neither real nor correct. McCain has a problem because he was not a "natural born" citizen under Article II, Sec. 1, Par. 4 of the Constitution.

Whatever the merit of the legal fiction that the Panama base was US territory, he wasn't born there anyway; he was born in a hospital off base that was not part of the U S Lease.

That's not the import of the California litigation--it is part of a much more significant event.

Suits have been started in every state where McCain won the primary seeking to decertify his delegation on the theory that McCain is not eligible to election as President. Anyone who doesn't immediately grasp why that has been done and by whom has never been on the credentials committee of a national convention.
