Only for Vattel birthers is Ankeny v. Daniels an embarrassment. It is an excellent example of how the courts have dealt with the nbc issue in the past 100 years. You should realize by now that no court, from lowest state court up to SCOTUS is going to give any credence to 19th century congressional debate when determining the definition of nbc.

The courts are as correct about this issue as they were about Roe v. Wade.

Whether you think the courts are correct about an issue doesn't matter to anyone but you. But the opinion of SCOTUS and other judges on an issue is of great importance and effects everyone in this country. It is obvious to anyone who has researched the issue of nbc, that if you are a citizen at birth and you do not have to go through a naturalization process (ie: Rubio or McCain) you are a Natural Born Citizen. There are ONLY 2 types of citizens, Natural born and Naturalized. Not a single court in the last 100 years has used the dicta of Minor to define nbc.

I now understand that there are birthers who are now claiming that even though Rubio was born in Florida, he is not a nbc. If that is the case, all they are doing is helping reelect Obama. These crazy theories need to be addressed and put to rest now, so as to not cause problems in next year's election. Will you support the Republican ticket next year if Rubio is on it?
