“In other words, the 3rd Circuit Appeals Court agrees with the District Court's frustration with Congress’ inaction in failing to clarify Obama’s constitutional NBC status.”

I believe that the 3rd Circuit was choking in frustration over having to cite again their own ruling on Berg's appeal:

“This court affirmed the order dismissing the suit, agreeing that ‘a candidate’s ineligibility under the Natural Born Citizen Clause does not result in an injury in fact to voters.’”

Yup, having a constitutionally ineligible president sure isn't “an injury in fact to voters.” /s

I think my brain just exploded! (again)

Sickening, but it shows the disease of casebook law for what it truly is.

The over-reliance on case law and stare decisis based on case book law rather than horn book law is an example of a meta social degeneracy that places long and detailed process and ‘expertism’ over rationality and common sense.

I use common sense in its natural law foundation — ‘we hold these truths to be self-evident.’ Common sense is no ‘gimme,’ no easy thing to develop, never to be taken for granted. It takes educated, experienced, serious adults to apply. Sober, mature, educated adults of good standing in the community. It takes maturity, a conservative respect for the wise of the current and prior generations, and the dedication to the truth gained by practical life as an adult to gain the reasoned judgment needed to apply common sense.

Lincoln didn’t become a lawyer based on case law — he became educated in the law enough to practice law by studies of hornbook law. In my opinion Lincoln had a natural gift that inclined him towards developing his common sense. Which he did. With that matured common sense and studies of hornbook law, Lincoln became a very good lawyer.

While ‘experts’ and ‘expertism’ work for a time, some few generations even, it always fails for it comes to be delusional in the most ornate sense of madnesses known to history.

Alarming. Absolutely alarming.

I believe you are right. May they all live long enough to vomit those words back up.
