Neither does Coulter, and before you go off on her leftward movement lately - which I admit is happening - she is a Constitutional scholar of some merit.
I do not know what Bork or Scalia would say about it, but I can’t imagine they would interpret the “NBC” language as you do and keep it silent, since regardless of whether Barry Sotero was born in Hawaii or not, his father clearly puts him outside your interpretation.
I believe it is a fallacy to assume that anyone who is a constitutional scholar has done in depth research as to the correct meaning of the article II term "natural born citizen." I think that unless someone specifically researches it, they will simply accept the oft repeated and most common assumption that birth in the geographical boundaries is all that is required.
I would be surprised if Ann Coulter or ANY of the supreme court justices were actually knowledgeable on this specific aspect of the Constitutional.
I know I am learning new bits and pieces regarding it every week or so. Just yesterday I was made aware of an example where James Madison wrote on the issue (regarding a man who was born here, but denied American citizenship in 1812.) in another thread. I am virtually certain that neither Ann Coulter nor any Supreme Court Justices are even aware of this case.
Fair point. And like you, I am learning bits and pieces too.
