My take on why the talk radio are staying away is that they are afraid, yes believe you me, they will be accused of precipitating tremendous violence that can culminate in civil war.
The threats of the left and their allies to riot for "stealing the third election" especially from the first elected black president, are formidable tools for censorship.
Thanks, TLI, you’re added. Since you weren’t on the list a minute ago, here’s the last ping; you might be able to help, too.

Yeah, like Roe v Wade.
Surprise! I happen to see this (or Alan Keyes lawsuit) covered on a Spanish TV station. I believe it was Univision. So far no major English outlets yet....
The Ohio governor needs to go ahead and name a replacement senator as quickly as possible, just in case Obama is denied the presidency and wants his old job back.
IMHO, I continue to believe we are far, far better off without the LSM putting their heavy left slant on this. He would be tried and exonerated by the media long before it got to SCOTUS.
If the media were all over this right now, and let’s fantasize for a minute that they were “Fair and balanced”, riots and civil unrest would already be happening in the urban streets...influencing public opinion AND SCOTUS to disregard our constitution.
Let it play out below the radar and if we get what we SHOULD out of SCOTUS, the media will get on board. Just make sure your ammo is dry!!!!!
His lawyers have done nothing but stonewall,his media friends have tried to ridicule all questioners;he IS a fraud.
I don't believe any riots would be worse than those we've seen before,in which fools tore up their own neighborhoods.
I too have thought people in high places have known something was not right about all of this. I have looked into the eyes of Obama and on the night of his Chicago celebration I saw not a panic of sorts — not the deer in t headlights look but a pensive look. Another look earlier in the campaign was “mean eyes”.
ROFLMAO!
You mean, except for the morons who voted for Obamessiah(see them here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mm1KOBMg1Y8), there are STILL people who believe in the credibility of the MSM??
INcredible!!
In which case he fails the natural born citizen requirement.
He has very mean eyes, and I never saw what people found “charming” about him. But be that as it may, I’m betting he’s not the only one who knows he’s not legit. I’m sure the Dems - some of them, at least - were probably aware of this and took all the precautions way in advance, not only refusing to release the birth certificate but sealing every single document relating to him (college transcripts, etc.).
We know absolutely nothing about this man. Oh, wait, the only thing we do know is that he lied on his IL Bar application, when he said he had never used any other names than the ones under which he registered (Barack Hussein Obama). He had used both other first names and last names, of course, but I guess it’s ok in his case...
The law is not my bailiwick, but,
it appears that the Constitution is pretty straightforward on eligibility requirements.
If the Justices on the USSC ignore the clearly defined requirements on this issue,
then it seems logical to conclude
that the Constitution is now to be considered invalid-by all the Justices, including Roberts,Scalia, Alito and Thomas.
If the USSC punts on this and down the line,
evidence surfaces clearly showing that Obama was not a natural born citizen,
the reputation and integrity of the USSC will be damaged and the future of the Constitution will be in doubt.
Is this a risk that Roberts,Scalia, Alito and Thomas are willing to take ?
PLEASE! Don’t do that to Ohio. We have enough problems. Obama was an Illinois senator.
And in this case which federal statute will they be interpreting?
And completely silent on who checks that eligibility and how it is done.
There’s no rush that I see in determining this question, although it would be better for the country if it were settled before he’s sworn in. (Keeping in mind past Democrats and their preference for their own ambition over concern for America: Clinton, Gore, Kerry, et al.)
If it is fact that Obama committed a fraud on the country by failing to disclose that he was born in Kenya, he would be disqualified and his election would be rescinded, or some time in the future he would be removed from office.
