I just read where a Frank Black on the Rense site thinks that Obama’s mother was a CIA cut out.
This would explain is very strange background and lack of information.
If true, I don’t think SCOTUS will hear this case. It would also explain the rumor that one poster says he heard that the Supremes would just let time run out (though I find this one hard to believe)
Even if Ann were a cut-out, which I have no reason to believe (though I agree with the strangeness of it all), I don’t see how that would come to the Court’s attention or impact their review, should that come about, in any way.
I have every confidence that the SCOTUS will review the case according to the standards they always apply and that they will review the case if it appears to them that their standards require it or make it appropriate.
Also, I’m not sure what one would mean by saying “let the time run out.” I don’t see any deadline here, although, of course, the practicalities get more onerous the longer a problem has existed. That said, if a sitting “president” were discovered to be ineligible two weeks or two minutes before the end of his second term, he would still be ineligible and, therefore, legally “unavailable” to serve, and, therefore, our procedures for the peaceful transfer of power to an eligible person would kick in and be followed.
Sure, if there is a problem, everyone would like to have it all tied up with a bow before Inauguration Day, but it is what it is. The Court and the country have to play the hand that’s been dealt them and then let the chips lie.
Yes, it would be very dramatic for our country to replace a sitting “president” because he was found to be ineligible to serve. But the reality is that, from a governmental point of view, it would be a straightforward application of the rules, no different than the at once dramatic but completely orderly removal of a president upon conviction in impeachment.
Stuff happens. Occasionally stuff happens under the Constitution.
