LOL!!! I caught one picking one sentence on the top of page 655 of a case, then getting another sentence from the bottom of page 702 and combining them like they are talking about one thing so they could prove Rubio is not eligible. I don’t know whether they are doing it on purpose or just copying some junk they find somebody else saying. But, what is really bad is that they will just come back and do it again. Thank goodness it is just maybe two or three cases or I would be over my head.

You're exposing your ignorance. No sentences were combined. These were contrasting statements from the same court case that proved without doubt that Rubio does not fit the Supreme Court's definition of natural born citizen. Further, it's extremely stupid to complain about "picking" sentences from certain pages, when you were the one who mistakenly thought a sentence on page 662 is the controlling dicta when the decision rambles on for another 43 pages, later specifically defining the actual term in a way that CANNOT be applied to the plaintiff. Being bitter about being schooled in that other thread has no relevance here. Focus on this thread topic and see if you can form an intelligible thought.

I thought at first they were just copying without checking - sloppy research skills. However, Edge919 maintains he did not change the meaning of the quote. That takes it from sloppy research to intellectual dishonesty or lack of reading comprehension.
