The Four Liberal judges are obviously more ignorant of the law than virtually anyone you can find off the street regarding MacDonald v Chicago. If they are so smart, why do they always get it wrong? Hmmm???

Strawman argument, with a hint of ad hominem thrown in.

You imply I think lib justices are "smart." There have been lots of (IMHO) dumb decisions. That isn't the point we're arguing. To refresh your memory:

The original post (seen in thread title) said that 0bama should have been deported with his father.
Several of us have pointed out that children born in this country (same few exceptions as always) are citizens.
In the two cases originally cited, in both the child or children were described as "natural born" in the decisions.
In neither case was the child considered an alien who violated immigration laws, and deportation only applies to aliens.

It is an article of faith among conservatives that Liberal Judges are WRONG,(not dumb) and that they shouldn't even BE on the courts. The point that I am making in a roundabout way, is that you hold peculiar ideas for a supposed conservative. Whether you realize it or not, I am trying to garner evidence for a zot. Say enough stuff that makes people think you're an agent provocateur, and lighting strikes.

Now you may be what you would seemingly have us believe; a conservative with a disagreement on this particular issue, and an indulgence for Liberal Judges on the courts, perhaps even pro-choice, but these are peculiar positions to hold for any conservative of which I am familiar with. It is axiomatic to my mind that if you are not even a conservative, then you merely serve to waste our time.

If you ARE a conservative, then I intend to show you the inconsistency of your philosophies, and help you seam them back together again.
