"The international space station is by far the largest spacecraft ever built by earthlings. Circling the Earth every 90 minutes, it often passes over North America and is visible from the ground when night has fallen but the station, up high, is still bathed in sunlight.
After more than a decade of construction, it is nearing completion and finally has a full crew of six astronauts. The last components should be installed by the end of next year.

Sorry, but the DHHL argument is a non-starter.
The DHHL program is a land lease program that native Hawaiian Islanders may participate in.
No one is trying to make the argument that Barack Obama is from native Hawaiian blood - they're just trying to make the correct argument that he was born in Hawaii.
The certificate called the Certification of Live Birth specifies a date, time and location of birth and provides prima facie evidence that Barack Obama was born in Hawaii, and therefore qualifies as a natural born citizen who is eligible to hold the office of President.
There's a subtle flaw in your logic, mi. Article I Section 10 refers to the several States, and not to the Federal Government:
"No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility."

I'm not sure I understand the logic - would you say that I have a right to rob someone, for instance, even though I'm not shielded from the criminal penalties?
There's a difference between the ideal and the practical, and the Founders recognized that. The Supreme Court does place limits on free speech - see the Wikipedia articles here and here.
Yes, you're answerable if you're responsible, but that's not the issue.
No one can force you to be responsible, in the same way that no one can force you to be happy, or sad, or hungry. When you're forced to say or do something, you're being compliant. In fact, you're relieved of any responsibility, because you're following orders.
