ouch, those arguments by the obama team were lame.

He is already president, what does being the democrat nominee have to do with it?

This whole show with Obama and his birth certificate while the nation and the world slips closer to the abyss is not funny in the least.

I haven't been following the case but I assume the posture was that it is appropriate to determine the question because he is running for Pres or something. I was just saying if HE isn't the nominee, certainly Romney isn't, but maybe I'm the only one who thought this was funny....

I am not a birther in any way. I do know that in order to run for president you have to be born to 2 natural citizens on American soil. It has been that way forever. I never figured out how he was able to run. Just like Rubio. He can't be the Vice President. Both of his parents didn't become citizens till he was 4 years old. They did this so no influence from other countres could come into play.

George Romney was born in Mexico, though that issue was raised in '68; there was some argument, but since he didn't get the nomination they backed off it.

ok, I didn't post this on the natural born issue, I was just saying if Obama can claim to not be the Dem nominee in a state where no one even ran against him, it is more reason the RNC can't claim Romney is nominee before convention.

He's the presumptive nominee, like Romney. Neither officially has the spot yet.

If they invalidate Obama for not being a natural born citizen... and then Obama... does that force everyone in Florida to vote 3rd party? That would be new and hilarious. Swing-state no more. 'Obamney, no Florida for you!'
If the court decided this then the Supreme Court wouldn't step in unless it intended to overrule it as if they touched it and upheld the ruling they'd have to remove him from office...would the powers that be really let that happen? I doubt it, particularly if it invalidated Romney as well.
