GA Court Hears Obama Eligibility Case

[Bummer]

Perhaps. But it's also possible that if the 2-3% swing voters had as much information on the Kenyan as they did on McCain, they would have decided that McCain was a better man to sit in the Oval Office.

Better man? At least the Democrats can argue that they didn't know and the charges really haven't been proven. Not so, the Republicans. Best they have is that they don't care that McCain sold his influence while a member of Congress. That pretty much puts the nails in the coffin of the Republicans as the Rule of Law, personal accountability, honesty and honor party.

Regardless, as it relates to the Obama, if he is not a natural born citizen (and the meaning hasn't changed that much), then his only other means of being a citizen is to become naturalized. ...

No, birthright status "came about" well before the authors of the Constitution dipped their feather quill in the ink well. Birthright citizenship is as old as the Romans at least.

Actually while the common use of the word may not have changed, the issue has never been adjudicated, and as such has not been decided in a legal sense. There was a law suit filed about Barry Goldwater, but he lost, so it was dropped. It came up because John McCain was not born in the United States, but Obama agreed not to pursue the issue. Legally the meaning of "natural born" is still completely in limbo. I posted a link addressing this earlier in the thread.

... I figure a greater percentage of the naturalized citizens are better patriots than the natural born ones.

I'm with you on that one, though we might not agree on just who we're talking about.

All the discussion in the world won't change the decision that was just handed down by the court. Case dismissed. The plaintiffs have no case and no evidence and there is no law to support their claims. Time to move on from nonsense and address the real issues that he might be guilty of.

It happens.

Have faith, for folks who wear their tin-foil hats tight enough no conspiracy is ever over.

I see lots of wishful thinking and fantasizing going on in this thread.

What does my sex life have to do with this?

There was no travel ban to Pakistan when Obama went. Getting a visa was as simple as asking for one at any border crossing or airport. I really don't know where this nonsense comes from.

He would still have to use a passport though, wouldn't he?

 

[mrjarrell]

He would still have to use a passport though, wouldn't he?

And we can safely assume that he had a valid passport.

Soooo uhhhh, if he is born here, regardless of his parent's citizenship, he's a citizen right?

 

[mrjarrell]

Soooo uhhhh, if he is born here, regardless of his parent's citizenship, he's a citizen right?

That's what the courts have said, many times. Lots of "illegals" have children who are US citizens, so that must be the case.

 

[jetmechG550]

But the question is was he born here? Answer maybe, maybe not, there's no proof other some photoshop of a birth cert

Soooo uhhhh, if he is born here, regardless of his parent's citizenship, he's a citizen right?

I used to think that was in the Constitution, but I've since learned that it was a controversial court decision. I don't, however, know the details.

If.
