“This country can now toss the worthless Constitution and just depend on courts to make the laws.”

Ironically, that is exactly what the SCOTUS is doing in this case. They are refusing to make law, and relying on what the Constitution says. Donofrio’s case was an interpretation of natural born citizenship, that was not reflected in the constitution. There is no reference to dual citizenship disqualifying one for natural born citizenship. Scalia, Thomas, Alito and Roberts are not liberals. If you are willing to claim that they are, just so you can push this silly argument, then you are no better than those at DU.

You have your interpretation and I have mine. Show me in the Constitution where it says a person can hold the office of President while not being a “natural” born citizen. Matter of fact the Constitution states that one must be a natural born citizen. Obama is not a natural born citizen and for you to deny that means you must be from DU.

The justices sidestepped this issue because they were afraid of the fallout from an adverse decision. They did this for what they considered the “best interest” of this country and in the end they shattered our Constitution.
