Have you stopped to consider why it is that you can only find liberal constitutional scholars who back your position?
Loud declarations from one side and silence from the other...where has America seen this before? Maybe they're operating under the "create a consensus" mind set like that used in globull warming. Weren't we told that all scientist agreed that global warming was man made only to have that lie blow up in the faces of such proponents when the truth came out.
You have too much faith in liberals being honest brokers for me.
“Have you stopped to consider why it is that you can only find liberal constitutional scholars who back your position?”
It’s because in your fantasy world you get to make up stuff like that. I just posted a link to an FR article, where Pulitzer Prize winning Politifact put this question to two law professors, one of them a “senior legal fellow with the conservative Heritage Foundation”.
“Loud declarations from one side and silence from the other...where has America seen this before?”
No, the reality is that in our time no one argued that the native-born child of a foreigner was ineligible until Leo Donofrio wanted to argue that Obama cannot be president. No one was saying Black’s Law Dictionary was wrong to define ‘natural-born citizen’ so that native birth was sufficient.
On 5 Oct 2004, Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT), said before the Senate Judiciary Committee: “What is a natural born citizen? Clearly, someone born within the United States or one of its territories is a natural born citizen.” There’s no record of anyone disagreeing Senator Orrin Hatch until late in 2008.
The closest thing to a constitutional scholar who takes your side is probably Herb Titus, former dean of Pat Robertson’s Regent University. Thing is, he doesn’t seem to have said anything about it on principle. It’s just more Obama denial.
