Who cares about msnbc?? You're missing the big picture. The Supreme Court was willing to grant that Virginia Minor would have been eligible to run for president, but they had NO legal precedent to say that she had a right to vote. The Wong Kim Ark decision affirmed this holding, but ironically it wouldn't allow it's own litigant the right to run for president, even though he may have been able to vote. Ironic, but true. Those are the facts. Minor said, "Our province is to decide what the law is, not to declare what it should be. We have given this case the careful consideration its importance demands. If the law is wrong, it ought to be changed; but the power for that is not with us." Somehow, the GA ALJ thinks he has the power to change the law and make Obama eligible to run for president. Weird, but wrong.
My statement stands. The Birthers do not seem to have put any thought into how Minor would get spun in the media.
