“I been begging mcCain people to hold a press conference or cal attention to me. What are they afraid of? They need to hear from more of you, demanding to make a BIG noise NOW!!”
They are afraid of the media making a moral equivalence statement about the fact he was born, not in the canal zone, but in Colon, Panama. The law involved doesn’t matter, because the media would turn and attack HIS qualification under the same argument that they would frame.
McCain cannot touch this.
Wonder what’s so embarrassing?
He was born in Kenys?
He was born out of wedlock making him a b*stard?
His real father was Communist child molester Frank Marshall Davis?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Good grief. Maybe it's McCain! The Wall Street Journal had an article the other day about a family of blacks who claim shared DNA with with our friend John. Their family lived on his family's plantation and they always considered themselves related.
maybe he was born a girl?
This means the minimum involved is a lie. Maximum, he's not a citizen.
The lie is OK, though, since he's the messiah.
Police: We’ve got a search warrant. We suspect there is a dead body in your car trunk. Open up the trunk.
Obama: Officer, particularly serious embarrassment will result from opening said trunk.
Police: Oh, well, forget it then. Sorry to bother you. Have a nice day.
He doesn’t look that much like either. But there is a third party involved whose genes are involved.
Why would you disrespect Berg? He is asking the Court for a reasonable response. He cannot PROVE anything on his own.
You are looking to represent us all. Prove you are qualified or GET THE HELL OUT.
Obviously I'm talking rhetorically to Osama Obama and not you pissant. As a matter of fact, I think we should call BHO Pissant and not you!
Does anyone know where, “particularly serious embarrassment will result from turning over the requested documentation” came from? It is in the article and it sounds as if they are referencing some legal docs, but where are THOSE? We need to see the official wording.
Actually, his full given name was Hussein Osama Muhammad Obama, but after a grueling bullied childhood, he rearranged the components of his name. Probably another "embarrassment" t hing for him.
After the state electors vote the results are sent to the President of the Senate, Cheney, who announces the official winner of the election. Presumably, Cheney could ask the Supreme Court for a ruling on eligibility.
As to the past after the expiration of the initial grace period for a potential foreign born president expired (i.e. those moving here after 1773) all other presidents had well established backgrounds generally from families of distinction and certainty. Alexander Hamilton was one of the Founders (maybe the only one) who could have potentially been president though foreign born. But Jefferson and Burr made sure he would not be by exposing the scandalous Reynolds affair.
Lincoln probably had about the most obscure origins of any of the other presidents but even his were fairly clear.
If you are implying a slithering of Hillary into the Office via the law suit, it would not be easy, or possible to do so before the election. And it would not work when the Blacks went nuts.
If so, that makes Barack a B........
Not only a B........, but a RAT B.........
I agree with you 100%. Whatever the rats are trying to do in this election, if Nobama is removed, it is a loosing situation in the wake as how many top in the (D's) "latter" will be serving time together with illegal alien!!!
MOST insightful of you!
I can't think of anything that would be more just, than to have 0bama brought down by the release of his own personal records.
Did thye have faxes then ?
Or was this teletype?
Hey, I've taken lessons from Buckhead...
Would you people knock it off with the courts?
Courts have no Constitutional role in elections, and shouldn't.
The Founders created a specific procedure for counting electoral votes and declaring a winner. The body which exists for that purpose is a special joint session of Congress, which MUST carry out this function before proceeding to other business.
Challenges must come from the floor, and must be in writing. The President of the Senate (Cheney, before 1/20/09) rules on the challenges. He doesn't have to ask anybody "for a ruling", because HE MAKES THE RULING.
Of course, his rulings can be overturned by the special joint session, as they undoubtedly would be in the case of a challenge to 0bama's eligibility.
All of the questions which swirl around disputes over electors and the counting of their votes are political questions, and in more normal times would be considered nonjusticeable.
Since 1954, we've had a Supreme Court which does not recognize nonjusticeability. But that doesn't mean that conservatives should go running to the court, affirming its invented role as supreme arbiter of any serious social disagreement.
Our election are none of their g-d business. They should stay the hell out of it.
The Article II-XII Amendment process is perfectly adequate to this task.
There is not one word in the Constitution regarding ballots cast for an ineligible person. Cheney would “...in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall be counted,...”
Now how the states certify the certificates is not referenced. Do we know that that certification process will not involve the Courts, state and/or federal? No we do not. If the certifications are challenged by a citizen
are you claiming that courts will not get involved?
What is required in a state certification of the electors’ vote? Nothing in the Constitution tells us. Do you know the 50 different states’ methods of doing so.
We are entering a murky area here never entered before and the Founders NEVER believed that an ineligible candidate would get this far. No one has greater respect for them than I and their writings have been carefully studied.
As the Courts were involved in preventing the attempted Democrat fraud in the 2000 election it is unrealistic to believe they would not should Zero be shown to be ineligible. Rude responses to those attempting to reason their way through this labyrinth does not change any of this.
