I've got a simple idea: Let's give up on the Constitution.
I know, it sounds radical, but it's really not. Constitutional disobedience is as American as apple pie.
For example, most of our greatest Presidents -- Jefferson, Lincoln, Wilson, and both Roosevelts -- had doubts about the Constitution, and many of them disobeyed it when it got in their way.
To be clear, I don't think we should give up on everything in the Constitution. The Constitution has many important and inspiring provisions, but we should obey these because they are important and inspiring, not because a bunch of people who are now long-dead favored them two centuries ago.
Unfortunately, the Constitution also contains some provisions that are not so inspiring. For example, one allows a presidential candidate who is rejected by a majority of the American people to assume office. Suppose that Barack Obama really wasn't a natural-born citizen. So what?

SUNDAY MORNING is an excellent show which I usually watch with my wife, and we record it for later viewing which is usually the way we see it. Yesterday’s show is on our DVR list, but I haven’t seen it yet. I will now. You didn’t give
much info on who or what was said specifically, but I never noticed that show to have ANY political bias, or deal with those subjects at all.
Only if you're standard of value is based on libtardism.
The only thing that gives the government any legitimate athority is the constitution. Without the constitution, and the whole constitution then there isn’t a legitimate government and all orders, regulations, taxes, and laws can be legally ignored. Sure there would be ramifications as I’m sure the usurpers wouldn’t willingly give up power, but let it be said here and now, that a large percentage of Americans would see them as the usurpers they are and act accordingly.
Cut off the freebies, and they will "self-relocate".

Where is the sarcasm tag? you posted this as truth? Never noticed a political bias on Sunday Morning?
Brain dead much, or just ignorant?
They are constantly getting in their negative punches against the conservative cause. If you have not noticed it before, maybe the sound was off and you just look at the pretty pictures.......
Watch the episode that was broadcast Sunday, the truth comes out.
You obviously haven't seen the segments featuring Nancy Giles where she spews the most unbelievably biased tripe imaginable.
They know - of course - that the bat-eared-b*stard quota baby dork was not born here.
Of course, the law is only for little people.
Until one day, the little people figure it out, read the 2nd amendment, and......
You don't see any political bias (both sides) in the pieces by Nancy Giles or Ben Stein??? Hmmm...
My comment on the thread created just after the show was on the air yesterday:
My wife and I were watching this commentary. It was one of those rare times that my wife will vocally respond to a TV report of any kind and we were both in total agreement that the guy was a flippin’ moron. On that basis, I’d say he is blissfully unaware of how the Consitution works or its relationship on his ability to spew such tripe.
Given his comments on the founders and writers of the Constitution and not being tied to what these men wrote, I’d say he’s cemented his moron status for all time. I don’t see anybody of equivalent wisdom on the scene today that would compare to the Founders.
The “natural born Citizen” clause was put there for national security and preservation of the republic, purposes. Didn’t make sense then, nor now, to have a Chief Executive Officer (President) and Commander in Chief of the armed forces who was born with foreign citizenship and thus foreign allegiance owed.
Well there are some laws I don't like and some that I do ...maybe picking and choosing which ones to use on a personal basis would "inspire" the non productive masses. The same could be said for the Ten Commandments, I suppose.
I completely agree.
Colin Powell last Sunday talking to ABC’s Dianne Sawyer went on the offensive against birthers and the GOP leadership for not denouncing them. Why? Why come out of the woodworks and go after birthers at this point in time? Obama has been reelected and the media has been silent on the eligibility subject for a pretty good while. There was a reason he did this. He wants to shut down all dialogue on the eligibility topic for deeper purposes. They are nervous. Lead Investigator Mike Zullo, who conducted the investigation into Obama’s birth certificate and found it to be fraudulent along with his Selective Service Registration Pica U.S. postal date stamp, confirms in this interview yesterday. He believes his phone is being tapped by the NSA. Listen at 12:08 in the video.

I just finally saw it a minute ago, wished I’d known it was at the very end, had to watch all the rest of it before the Prof was finally on.
I had forgotten about Nancy Giles, but the name is familiar, so I know I’ve seen her on.Yes, she is an idiot.
The Professor was appalling, sounding for all the world like the classic shaggy grey academic mimicking all the “irrelevant dead white man” cliches of the radical Left.
The “theme” of the week, by the way, seems to be
the big “SO WHAT???” What difference does it make?”
theme we heard from Hillary Clinton a few days ago at the hearing on Benghazi, as she threw up her hands in frustration. The same question was put forth by this
Prof, “what difference does trashing the Constitution make???” He cites examples of its being necessary before , and implies that with Obama it’s necessary again, and skirts all specifics of ANY circumventing of the Constitution THEN
AND NOW. Convenient, but it’s a subtle way of creating approval for Obama by associating him with the kind of “dead white men” that meet HIS approval.
CBS should get emails demanding equal time for a real response, point by point to this Geo-town professor, maybe an academic , if they can find one.
Let’s do it.
I have a better idea. Let’s keep the constitution and get rid of CBS and the rest of the socialist democratic frauds on the left. The left’s believe that THE FOREIGNERS birth certificate was proof of eligibility is no different than their believe in AGW climate change SCAM.
There you go...the media know he’s not legit. The truth will come out probably after he leaves office in 2017. However, they avoid all discussion of crimes that have been committed associated with the illegal use of multiple SSN’s.
If Obama was all white, not a mulatto, he would not be in the Oval Office
Yep, but watch ‘em go after Bobby Jindal and Marco Rubio. It’ll be a perpetual rectal exam.
Out of the blue Colin Powell blurted out some nonsense about birthers being racist, now this on CBS.
Something in the wind?
“So I’m not eligible, so what? What does it matter at this point? You support democracy don’t you? The people have spoken”
Mob rule is supplanting the rule of law.
