Great post BP. :-)
“How many years was it legal to restrict a citizen’s right “to keep and bear arms” before the SCOTUS settled it (2008)?”
It still isn’t settled. Arizona will be (in Aug) only the 3rd state to allow concealed carry without a permit. The idea that a permit should be required for concealed carry is contrary to the Constitution - much more plainly than the meaning of NBC - yet 47 states are opposed, and the Supreme Court wouldn’t even consider legalizing concealed carry without a permit in all 50 states.
You win political fights at the ballot box, not by filing cases in Court.
“How many years was it legal to prevent women from voting until is was finally settled by the 19th Amendment (1920)?”
Legal. Not a court in the country would overturn it until the Constitution was amended. The Obama father thing could be settled much easier - just get ONE state to enact a law interpreting NBC as forbidding a run by someone with a foreigner for a father.
If you cannot do that, then there just isn’t the political will - and you won’t win the argument in court.
“How many years was it legal to OWN and ENSLAVE a man until it was finally settled by the 14th Amendment (1868)?”
So feel free to pass a Constitutional amendment requiring Presidential candidates to be born of 2 US citizens. Or two folks born in the US, or whatever - pass a Constitutional amendment. Won’t happen. Right now, you can’t get one state to back you, let alone enough to amend the Constitution to add a definition.
“At some point in the very near future, Obama’s Eligibility problem will — and MUST — be resolved.”
It has been. He is President. Short of proof that he was born in Kenya, or had previously renounced his citizenship, it is a done deal.
If you want to stop Obama, look to the ballot box.
