I agree with what Freeper Congressman Billybob wrote. To make a case of this significance work you have to have a solid foundation in precedents. Otherwise a court, a judge, is going to want to deflect it off, using some weak precedent if it is available. Which is what happened.

Is not the decision in the Goldwater cases precedents? Not all of them were tossed out for lack of standing (were any?). They were decided on the merits of the cases -- whether or not Arizona territory (not yet a state) counted for natual-born citizen status.
