The fascinating thing to me is the Lucy and the football aspect. It seems every freeper lawyer who comments on this tells the NBC'ers the same thing - born in the US (usual diplomatic exceptions) has been held by the courts to mean natural born, and no court will find otherwise

You really think that any court has even considered the facts? Lawyers are less than pond scum.

Actually, the facts were not at issue here, the LAW was at issue.

It was stipulated that Obama was born in Hawaii.

On the law?

Born in the USA = Natural Born Citizen!

Case closed!

You really think that any court has even considered the facts? Lawyers are less than pond scum.

Lawyers have argued (and won) District of Columbia v Heller, and McDonald v Chicago. Justice Scalia, for whom I have great respect, was a lawyer before his appointment as a Judge. So lawyers can be helpful or a complete road block.

The facts before the Georgia court were pretty simple - some of the plaintiffs submitted the COLB and agreed that 0bama was born in Hawaii. Once that is agreed, the judge is going to follow over 100 years of precedent, and rule him natural born. Anyone who thinks differently is allowing his wishes to corrupt his thinking process.
