Why won't Sotomayor release her birth certificate?

[AngryAmish]

I figure I'll just make a unified field theory of lunacy.

1. I haven't seen yours posted here yet?

I think everyone who posts here is probably an alien.

[NV Whino]

2. Yeah, how do we know AngryAmish is really Amish?

And for that matter, have we ever seen Skinner's birth certificate? Hmmmm?

3. Here We Go Again

Is this the latest conspiracy theory from the radical right????

4. Not yet

But watch this space.

On a related note, the Freepers are apoplectic that Robert Gibbs laughed at a journalist who asked about Obama's birth certificate at a WH press conference, as did the other journalists. Proof thet the White House and the librul media are conspiring to suppress THE TRUTH by ridiculing those who dare to seek it, since there's no possibility that the reason people were laughing is that the journalist had just made a colossal fool of himself. It's just like the time I went to that scientific conference and everybody laughed when I brought up the issue of the Earth being 6000 years old and flat. It's a conspiracy I tells ya!

10. Oh yes... see link in thread below... they are on it

On Freeperville, there had already been talk of one of the short list candidates having been born in Canada as well.

5. I hear the leader of her church is a crazy old Nazi sympathizer...

... who dresses in bizarre outfits, opposes abortion, despises birth control, opposes same sex marriage, and suppresses women's rights.

6. I wouldn't put it past them. Since these ignorant jagoffs probably have no idea

that whether we are born in the island or in the continental US it makes no difference citizenship wise.

[nxylas]

11. Is there even a natural born citizen requirement for a Supreme Court justice?

I thought the only thing a naturalized citizen coudln't do that a natural born citizen could was become President.

[dragonlady]

14. No, you are right

And anyone who has a lifetime appointment to the highest court in the land isn't likely to want to run for president anyway.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

15. As far as I know there are no restrictions since we are born

US citizens, we don't become naturalized. I should say the only restriction I can think of is voting in presidential elections but as soon as one moves to any US state and is a resident voting rights are acquired automatically.

“It figures that Obama would nominate a foreigner to SCOTUS as well. The fix is in.”

8. She was secretly born in Puerto Rico. She's not a citizen!

Wait...scratch that.

She was born in Venezuela!

[Canuckistanian]

13. If she had been born in Panama, no problems

Ask John McCain.

[JayMusgrove]

9. I heard some foolish Republican woman on C-Span calling in this morning asking

If Sonia knows enough about AMERICAN history, since she's from somewhere else.

I heard it! I'm not kidding.

12. does Puerto Rico carry citizenship for its children.

you know, they don't pay taxes so why do we consider them citizens?
