We do live in a Republic, and not a Judicial Oligarchy, and for that reason , jamese777, you are quite wrong.

If I am indeed wrong, can you provide me with some examples of where individual citizens, the Congress, and/or the Executive branch has defined the term “natural born citizen” and had that definition become binding as the law of the land or generally accepted by the People as the common law definition of the term?

What you are calling “a judicial oligarchy” is what the Founding Fathers called Article Three of the Constitution of the United States.

At the federal level, judges are appointed to their positions by the Executive branch and they must be confirmed by Congress. An individual federal judge’s decision can be overturned by a panel of judges at the Circuit Court of Appeals; a panel of judges can be reversed by a full panel of Circuit Court of Appeals judges and a full Circuit Court of Appeals can be overturned by the vote of five justices at the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court can and does sometimes reverse itself in a different appeal.

If that’s your idea of an “oligarchy, so be it, I guess you’re right, for you.
