Your critiques of the judiciary as a whole and specific judicial rulings on this issue are interesting for blog debates but they bear no relevance to real world occurrences in moving the eligibility issue forward to resolution.
They are fun little intellectual/logic excercises but nothing more and nothing less. In the real world, court rulings stand until they reversed, period, end of story.
So whine away but judges rule however they rule and if they are not reversed (as Wong Kim Ark has not been in 114 years) the rulings become stare decisis.
There is more going on than just eligibility. The eligibility issue is simply a sub category of the larger overall problem with the court system, which is itself a sub category of the larger overall problem with the Nation.
The path forward is facilitated by denouncing the court system as incompetent and biased, and by urging people to treat their opinions with the contempt which they deserve. Pushing respectability at a court system which is obviously sliding into insanity (Prop 8 ruling?) is detrimental to the well being of the nation.

And you are here on Free Republic arguing with internet denizens to accomplish REAL progress of some sort? What might that be? It looks to me as though you are merely trying to bolster/create counter propaganda to oppose a very real issue of eligibility regarding this incompetent illegal President, and other such as may be interested in vying for the office.

I think there are a lot of stories which may soon be ending, and very likely to the detriment of Arrogant Judicial tyrants who may be receiving some long deserved comeuppance. I perceive a coming social storm, and I shall not be surprised if it sweeps away a lot of this institutional nonsense.

Which is another way of saying "we don't need a reason, we have POWER." Perhaps now, but I perceive it will not always be the case, and payback is a b*tch.
Hopefully you Vichy will catch some justice as well.
