There are a lot of conservative law professors in this country, but not one has ever wanted to touch the birth certificate/natural-born citizen cases with a 10-foot pole. I think that says something right there.
Yeah, it says that they are eunuchs and scared rabbits.
I thought it was odd when the Federalist Society was suspiciously silent, not on the birth certificate, but just on Obama's eligibility based on his father's citizenship status (or lack thereof).
I anticipated that there would be some legitimate debate in conservative legal circles about the semantic intent of "natural born" citizen, and the fact that the court (any court) hasn't given any clarification or guidance with respect to the definition of that term of art.
But, for whatever reason, the only debate - to the extent that there was any - was focused solely on McCain's unique eligibility circumstances, and that was only in the very beginning of the campaign season.
It's interesting that Jonathan Turley (a man who's politics I disagree with, but I respect deeply as a Constitutional scholar) has been the one of the only professors to make much of a public statement about the issue - saying that he believes Obama to be clearly eligible, but that he should release his original BC.
Yes, it says that we need to dig up and respect the real 13th ammendment to our constitution; the one that says that members of the bar are not citizens of the U.S.
It was ratified with room to spare, and then buried by the criminals that run our courts.

We can certainly see how fraught with pitfalls it is; incompetence aside for a moment. Perhaps that’s why bammy just knew he might GET AWAY WITH IT (potentially the greatest fraud in US History.)
