You have great reverence for Dead Patriots, but they can not speak to us today, about present circumstances.

I tend to look to the living conservative experts in the legal field, to figure out what the Founders might have meant, and to determine if other Amendments and Court Rulings might have impacted original intent.

Give us a LIVING expert, would you please?

Do you find it impossible to believe that, 100 or 200 years from now, should we survive, that someone will not quote a leader alive today on such subjects?

Did all Wisdom die with the Founders and those alive at the time of the 14th Amendment?

Again, it is you and other Birthers who jump on every thread, attacking Marco Rubio due to your false notion that he is not a NBC.

You need positive, iron clad opinions from a CURRENT legal authority to make such charges.

Until you find a LIVING authority who agrees with you on these issues, you will not gain much support.

It's worth noting that everybody who had even a passing interest in politics was well aware that Barack Obama's father was a Kenyan -- well before the 2008 election. Hell, Obama made it a widely known fact by including it in his book.

Yet, at the time, not a single person -- no lawyer, no law professor, no politician, no political writer or thinker -- suggested that Obama was ineligible for the office due to this circumstance. So long as he had been born in the USA, he was a citizen by birth and, thus, eligible for the office.

You'd think that, if there was a shred of validity to the NBC contention, somebody would've raised the point before the 2008 election. To my knowledge, nobody ever did.

The whole NBC argument is a waste of time, barking up the wrong tree, baying at the moon.

Any effort to disqualify Obama would be better focussed on the birth certificate issue...the NBC issue is a mere distraction.
