You couldn't name one case that uses your Minor dicta to define nbc and now you can't name a single Congressman, Senator, Judge, state election official or conservative legal scholar or foundation who agrees with your crazy theory that requires 2 citizen parents and born on US soil to be a nbc. Sounds like your crackpot theory has lots of potential.

In addition to the above, the rule of law for the past century in this country has been that if you born a citizen, you are a nbc.

You still haven't answered as whether you will support the Republican ticket in 2012 if Rubio is on the ticket. Will your head explode or are you going to support the Conservatives?

You may enjoy this, which is about "legal gibberish". The website is about tax protesters, but they share a lot of characteristics with the Vattle Birthers.

And some tax protester arguments can only be described as complete fantasies, written in a kind of pseudo-legalistic kind of gibberish. There are therefore many court opinions in which judges have admitted that they find the “arguments” of tax protesters to be incomprehensible or incoherent. One of the most frequently cited critiques is from the 5th Circuit of Appeals, and is often quoted by judges who do not intend to waste their time trying to decipher a tax protester’s rantings:

“Crain’s present appeal ... is a hodgepodge of unsupported assertions, irrelevant platitudes, and legalistic gibberish.”

Crain v. Commissioner, 737 F.2d 1417, 1418 (5th Cir. 1984).

The author’s personal favorite is from a District Court opinion:

“[Defendant’s] argument in favor of vacating judgment is almost incomprehensible, and, to the extent it is understandable, is meritless.... “

United States v. Bell, 86 AFTR2d ¶2000-5209; CIV F 95-5346 OWW SMS (U.S.D.C. E.D.Ca. 7/24/2000).

The reason that tax protesters write gibberish is that they don’t understand basic legal concepts like jurisdiction, due process, or common law, and frequently misapply the meanings of even ordinary words like “income” and “includes.” Combine that kind of ignorance with self-righteous anger towards the entire legal system and delusions of literacy, and the result is usually an indecipherable tapestry of legal jargon woven together into an unintelligible mess.

Oh, this is sooo the Vattle Birthers!!! Here is a linkty thingy, and I have just been ROTFLMAO!!! at some of the things there, like right under the "gibberish" entry is "Paranoid and Other Delusions" - - -certain arguments of tax protesters transcend legal or logical fallacies, and can only be described as neurotic or psychotic delusions
