“What “conservative lawyers” are you talking about? Mark Levin? He is also a media member and as such HAS been threatened. And I’ve only heard that he opposes the 2-citizen-parent argument, not that he says anything about standing, justiciability, etc. Who else are you talking about?”

Well, remember, I was quoting LL — it was his question. He says he’s a conservative lawyer himself, so perhaps he can weigh in on the sources of the legal opinions he’s been hearing.
But I’m sure you’re aware of the identities of the attorneys who have taken up the birther cases, and I think it’s fair to say that there are no recognized constitutional authorities among them.
As far as you know, have any attorneys at all championed your theory concerning the 20th Amendment?
As far as I know none of the eligibility attorneys are willing to look at the 20th Amendment as a basis for action because there would then be questions as to whether Obama IS the President but just can’t perform any Constitutional duties.
Article II says that no person shall be eligible to the Presidency if they don’t meet the requirements, so the question is how somebody could ever pass from being the President elect to actually being the President at noon on Jan. 20th without ever being eligible to the Presidency.
I think the difference is that if it is recognized that Obama couldn’t qualify as the President, then his ticket can’t have won, meaning that Joe Biden didn’t win either. I’m not sure how that all works.
What I do know is that the Constitution forbids Obama from “acting as President”.
What further complicates things is that Dick Cheney did not obey the statute regarding how the electoral vote was to be certified. He didn’t call for objections as required; I don’t know if Biden obeyed the law this last time around or not. I believe one of the cases said that because the electroal certification was not done lawfully it cannot be binding. I think that was the suit that was dismissed with the claim that 4 years’ worth of reservist’s pay doesn’t meet the $500 minimum value to make a “case”. I say if that is so, the military should be sued for paying less than minimum wage... It just goes to show that if they can’t find a lawful excuse they’ll just make stuff up out of thin air.
