How does Morse qualify as an authority? He was nothing more than a losing attorney, like Apuzzo. Given that your thesis on natural born citizenship was largely fabricated solely for the purpose of inciting popular dissatisfaction with President Obama, I suppose it is some comfort to find some human being prior to 2008 that said something that could be excerpted to sound similar. But do you really want to go to bed with segregationists like Morse? Ken, do you think that everyone who publishes a book is right? How does Morse qualify as an authority?

Every person born in the country is, at the moment of birth, <i>prima facie</i> a citizen.</blockquote> (at pp. 125-126) See: http://books.google.com/books?id=BwZAAAAAYAAJ Your interpretation seems to be at odds with Morse’s statements in A Treatise on Citizenship (1881):

Every person born in the country is, at the moment of birth, prima facie a citizen.

Is there a full moon out tonight? You're responding to a post from April <b>2009</b>! You can go to Google and do a search of this website and find that we've discussed Morse more than 4 dozen times. By the way, on Google Books, you can get Morse's treatise on citizenship. Turn to section 203, on page 241. What does that say about citizenship?
