Jeff has already made a thoroughly supported case against the birthers. He’s done a ton of research, cited case law, law journals, et all. It doesn’t matter.

Jeff gets his @$$ handed to him every time I encounter him. I just finished pointing out to him that his beloved "Wong Kim Ark" decision was made by the same court which gave us the Infamous "Plessy v Ferguson" decision. (Separate but Equal)
I have now asked him if his Infallible Wong court is also infallible on Plessy, and of course i've gotten the usual caterwauling and back tracking.
Jeff just puts up a wall of nonsense which is so large that nobody bothers to read it, they just figure that if he posted all that crap, it must be true or something. Get him down into the details and it comes apart like a cheap suit.
So, if Jeff is supposedly correct, where did this come from then?

Oh, but you study con law or something. Well you got the "con" part right anyway.
