Yes, it is remarkable how ignorant some of our circuit courts are about The Constitution and Supreme Court precedent. You got that right. James777 has been passing those cases as basis in fact - law of the land that the natural born citizen clause has been defined. Anchor babies of foreigners as NBC in asylum and deportation cases, where the circuit and district judges make unsupportable statements the children as NBC The cases have nothing to do with natural born citizens as it pertains to the US Constitutional clause. .
Thanks Red Steel. I kind of guessed that was his intent, but someone had gone to such trouble to find screwy decisions that I decided to assume he was sincere. He/she may have picked up the references at Dr. Conspiracy's blog. I've not seen them before, and will be curious to see if I can find them on line. Heaven forbid that people would put phony citations on the web! But more and more we are learning that unwinding elaborate obfuscation is not necessary. The truth is not hard to find. Many of us, and I've seen your well-informed responses before, have been chasing the geese for more than a year now, and have seen most of the red herrings. This person found circuit court decisions, which don't change anything, but are remarkable for the ignorance they display.
I assume many of these judges don't have clerks, but you'd think they would at least look up some reference to natural born citizen in a supreme court case. They aren't hard to find. Lots of books have been written about citizenship, the Alexander Porter Morse work being an exhaustive one, and all explain the reasoning behing our founders choice of requirements for commander in chief to protect a society that is not a monarchy, and which was born from immigrants.
