Arkinsaw said: "I am not opposed to the matter being taken to court to be explored.

Is that because you believe that Obama is a natural born citizen, or because you believe that the Court will ignore his foreign birth? Just which Justices will decide that the clear mandate in the Constitution is to be ignored?

If the requirement regarding citizenship is susceptible to Supreme Court nullification, then why can't the Supreme Court simply nullify the requirement for a majority of electoral college votes? Let's have the Supreme Court declare McCain the winner; after all, the requirement for a majority is just one of those "living Constitution" provisions that is obviously outdated.
