The problem with Benjamin's arguments, Donofrio's, etc. is that they are all looking for a strict and technical and therefore narrow reason, under the law, that Obama is ineligible.

But, since Obama won the election by a decisive margin, and no one wants riots, the SCOTUS will look at the widest interpretation possible to validate his "natural born" status.

They won't try to argue the strict merits of the case before them -- they will look for any way out, that leaves Obama as natural born citizen. The plaintiffs have to be able to answer a hundred different points of law. Failing to nail even one or two will give SCOTUS the wiggle room to declare Obama natural born.

Here are the alternatives:

* BORN IN HAWAII -- he's natural born citizen since he was physically born in US. All other complications are irrelevant.

* BORN IN KENYA, PARENTS UNMARRIED AT THE TIME -- natural born, just like McCain, since Obama's only legal parent was a U.S. citizen.

* BORN IN KENYA, PARENTS MARRIED -- this is a little stickier, since one legal parent was a British or Kenyan citizen.

The most important thing to remember is the US Constitution only mentions "natural born citizen" and does not define it. Various US laws have attempted to define it, in terms of parents, parents age, length of time in U.S., etc. SCOTUS has the power to overturn or interpret any of those laws.

natural born, just like McCain

Show me where John McCain is definitively shown to be a natural born citizen. That "Sense Of The Senate" thing, Resolution 511, is garbage, with no legal weight whatsoever. It's incoherent, actually, with one major factual error, that of McCain's birthplace in Panama.

Onofrio will be on Patriot Brigade radio in one hour.
Lan Lamphere states Onofrio is ready to launch a media assault. Also, one of the activists judges may be sabotaging the case.

You make sense.

What remains a glaring thorn in my craw, and in the craws of so many others, is that Hussein is exactly the type of person that the Founders wanted to prevent from ascending to the presidency—someone with painfully apparent, divided loyalties to foreign nations.

That stark reality, if borne out by the facts, is what the SCOTUS should really consider.
