I received those cases and opinions from attorneys practicing in the federal courts system.
I will be forwarding your post to them for their comment and I promise I will reply to you and post their opinion in this thread when they reply. They usually reply to my emails within a day.
I do agree with your statement, "only a case dealing specifically with the issue can settle it for you and some others," although I would have put a period after the word "it."
The implication of your statement, however, is that you don't need, "a case dealing specifically with the issue...." I guess you have already made up your mind.
Are you an attorney?
Cheers . . .
You might find http://www.politijab.com a fruitful place to discuss this.
Personally, I would like a SCOTUS ruling on the issue (the likelihood of ever occurring is zero, due to the issue of standing) to settle the matter, but in the meantime, I have decided that it makes no sense to think that the State of Hawaii is participating in the kind of massive fraud it would have to be a part of if it were the case Obama was not born in Honolulu.
I am not one of those who automatically say that the concerns about his eligibility are not valid. And I don't say that now. What I do say is that the same reasons for which one can legitimately be wary of the online COLB apply to the wariness one ought to use with regard to "Polarik" and his theories.
I do not wish to get into battles with anyone. I am interested in the truth. I abhor the nastiness on both sides and will not participate in it. If you visit Politijab and register so that you can read everything, you may or may not be able to stomach the attitude of some people there. But others are civil and will not abuse your intelligence by insulting you and telling you that you are a nutcase. There are also other sites that explain the reasons for many people having concluded that the more likely scenario is that he was indeed born in Honolulu.
With regard to your private e-mail to me, this is an informal forum. The lack of perfection is generally understood to be a feature of this type of communication vehicle.
I am supportive of all reasonable attempts to get at the truth, but I cannot support anonymous, foul-mouthed posters whose claims are unverifiable. Believing such people is as bad as swallowing whole whatever the Anti-American in Chief offers.
Sincerely wishing you peace and a Joyous Fourth!
I archive stuff I find on the Net or that is sent to me in The Obama File, an opposition website. I am not encumbered by any requirement to be fair and balanced. I am obliged to avoid ugly rumors and anti-social expression.
I don't write the stuff. I cherry-pick it and archive it, unedited. The overwhelming number of items in the archive are from mainstream media sources and what I believe are reliable, if partisan, blogs. I make every attempt to provide attribution and/or links to the original source. Many of the items in the archive have multiple sources/links.
I have no personal opinions on this stuff. 98% of what's on my website, and what I post here comes from a source other than myself. The other 2% consists of my comments, usually for amplification or outrage, and is clearly identified by blue italics.
My purpose in posting here is to share the information I have archived on The Obama File and to mine for new/additional information.
Have I ever expressed an opinion here -- undoubtedly, but rarely. (I think).
I have what I have. If you have a better source of information I would update my website in a heartbeat.
But to express my personal opinion, or to give a damn about anyone else's personal opinion is a a waste of time and distracts from my mission. Opinion is just that -- opinion. I want a source. I want a link.
Now, I understand that there are people that want a place where they can engage in social discussion and speculation, and that's wonderful. I spend 6 to 8 hours a day, 7 days a week, at what I do and I just don't have time for it.
You can accept what I post here as valuable or crap, but unless you have a source/link that will evolve what I have to a higher level of correctness and completeness, respectfully, I'm just not interested.
You know what they say about opinions.
