Am I missing something besides sleep?

No, LOL.

I see Mr. and Mrs. Obama as a “groom” and “bride” who spawned a child who was the right combination of a charismatic, racecard-bearing, black and white politician — to later be picked and groomed by power brokers with vast financial backing — to trick "the teaming masses" of voters too caught up in hysteria and exuberance to notice they're being duped.

In the words of Akhil Reed Amar, Southmayd Professor of Law and Political Science at Yale University :

Only the Presidency and the Vice Presidency were reserved for birth-citizens, and even this reservation was softened to recognize the eligibility of all immigrants who were already American citizens in 1787—men, like Hamilton, who had proved their loyalty by coming to, or remaining in, America during the Revolution.

Why, then, did generally pro-immigrant Founders exclude later immigrants from the Presidency? If we imagine a poor boy coming to America and rising through the political system by dint of his own sweat and virtue only to find himself barred at the top, the rule surely looks anti-egalitarian. But in 1787, the more salient scenario involved the possibility that a foreign earl or duke might cross the Atlantic with immense wealth and a vast retinue, and then use his European riches to buy friends on a scale that virtually no homegrown citizen could match. There were no campaign finance rules in place then.

If only Professor Amar had realized in October 2004 that Obama in 2008 would come along and REFUSE any federal Presidential campaign funds, thereby avoiding FEC audit, the Professor might have taken a different stance when testifying before Congress on the Hatch Amendment.

But suffice to say that the Obots’ invoking of British and/or Pre-Constitutional Common Law, the 14th Amendment, Wong Kim Ark vs the US, US Immigration Law, and other lame excuses won't save their poster boy once Jurisdiction and Standing has been hacked into on Obama’s Eligibility suits. We've soundly defeated those arguments on this and other Free Republic threads, coming from different directions.

Donofrio and Orly, despite their dislike for each other and their approach, both have part of the answer on that. Donofrio is concerned about damaging precedence by Orly — a legitimate concern that can be steered around by a knowledgeable attorney if Orly IS being led into a trap by the US Attorneys. If Orly and Kreep argue to Judge Carter about their plantiffs’ damage, I think the rest of the academic argument laid forth here will fall in place at the right time.

When Donofrio gets his hands on the right kind of prima facie he needs via Hawaii UIPA requests, he'll maneuver through the judicial system very well — and VERY quickly.

As for the "poor boy" who would become president under false pretenses — the jig is almost up!
