Not according to Donofrio. It makes McCain a citizen, but in order to be a Natural Born citizen one must be born on US soil, not a US military base.

With what clearly appears to be a USSC smackdown today, maybe Donofrio should go back to playing cards for a living. He clearly wasn't very good at practicing law.

For the record, Obama isn't my guy but I find Donofrio's "first-class/second-class" citizenship argument to be a lot more offensive and un-American than an Obama administration. WE WILL survive Obama's Presidency! The Republican party now has the opportunity to refocus and regain the confidence of conservatives.

The USSC codifying Dred Scott II and disqualifying the man who clearly was elected (along with millions of other native-born Americans) is ugly business with horrible implications that would have divided this country irreparably and destroyed all faith in our institutions. Hopefully this is the end of this nonsense and Donofrio can be relegated to nothing more than a trivia question in American history.

This case never had a chance of being granted cert. The arguments were never even brought by the proper parties.

If you keep up with the live thread, it appears the decision about Donofrio’s case won’t be made public until Monday.

So hold on to your jollies until then.
