The fact is that in the OJ civil trial, the burden of proof rested on the plaintiff.
The State of Hawaii was satisfied, so the burden of proof rests on those other states to prove that Hawaii's position is false.
The court must necessarily squash any state who passes a law that is not their domain, i.e. citizenship/natural born citizen of the USA.
What truly qualifies the birthers as conspiracy theorists, is that even though there is some form of proof, i.e. the certificate of live birth...there is no proof of a BC existing in any other country.
However, this doesn't stop the whacked out from coming to a conclusion that Obama is not a natural born US citizen. When the term natural born is equivocal, there is no evidence that Obama is not natural born.
He is natural born until such time that the Supreme Court says otherwise.
He is, until proved otherwise.
Quote from jem:
typical manifestation of the need for a little more study. Excellent rhetorical skills do not substitute for education in the field of discussion.
"Innocent until proven guilty" is not a standard in civil matters.
For the layman I refer you to the difference between OJ Criminal trial vs Civil trial.
