If you ask me what I “want to see”, I’d like to see us return to our Constitution being interpreted strictly according to the original intent of those who wrote it (and those who wrote the various subsequent Amendments).

But I’m just stating a fact, which is that if a principle of law hasn’t been confirmed in the last fifty years, you can bet that the current SCOTUS will largely take a free hand in elucidating it however they see fit. And were they by some miracle to actually take a case challenging the eligibility of a Presidential nominee (extremely unlikely given how far the courts stayed away from the questions about Obama), they will not DQ an otherwise qualified candidate based on what their parents’ citizenship status was at the time of their birth. It’s just not going to happen.

There’s nothing you or I or anyone else can do about that.

I disagree. I can do something about it. I can continue to expose the wrong-thinking and political-cowardice I come across on public forums and social media. I can continue to embarrass political figures having not the spine or education to address the issue. I can exercise the soap box and the ballot box and deny support to ineligible candidates. I can endure the slings and arrows of republicans and democrats alike for doing so. And if your fears to come to pass, nothing is done, and things get really bad, I can join the rest of our compatriots forced to break-out the ammo box. It's called sacrifice, and patriots can offer no less.
