"It would only have taken ONE (1) Senator or Representative to have stood tall in January, 2009....but none did."

Not quite. Georgia Congressman Nathan Deal sent an open letter to the White House in the Spring of 2009 asking for confirmation of Obama’s eligibility. His response was a formal ethics charge from the House ethics committee. They went through a decade or more of IRS records to find some issue they could question. The Justice Department can bankrupt any citizen using the almost bottomless pit of our taxes to fund investigations until the defendant is financially exhausted.

Deal is now Governor of Georgia. He had no alternative but to resign from Congress. It was clear that the Democrat Ethics Committee would pursue him until his resources and his family, who ran a wrecking yard in Georgia, were rendered bankrupt. It is no surprise that no one else tried. The silence from both parties is a fascinating symptom of the sickness permeating the legislature. For a couple of detailed analysis of the business of the legislature can be found in Peter Schweiker's "Throw Them All Out", which caused a law against insider trading which applied to legislators - before that they were immunce form SEC laws.

Remember Scooter Libby, against whom the US Attorney files charges after he had a confession from Dick Armitage in his hands. Armitage, who, like his boss Powell, never liked Bush or Cheney, kept quiet through three years of public pronouncements and trials. The dupe-propagandists in Hollywood even made a movie entirely based upon the fiction of Libby's involvement in the exposure of Plame and her old lefty husband, who worked for Obama’s campaign.
