Watching MSNBC devote considerable time on several shows explaining how the NBC clause will likely be ignored to allow Cruz to become POTUS, it seems increasingly obvious that it is really Barry that MSNBC trying to protect because they have gotten word that the POSSE is coming for Barry’s BC forger and the jig is up. They don’t care about Cruz and given the chance any competent DNC partisan would be screaming Cruz is NOT eligible, absent Barry’s impending vulnerability, IMO.
So if MSNBC has been tipped off by the White House that the POSSE will soon expose the HI BC forgery, now they are trying to preemptively inoculate their audience from concluding that Barry is ineligible if NOT born in the US in spite of the fact that they and the MSM have been saying just that for FIVE YEARS!
There is a potential disconnect between WHAT Sheriff Joe and the Cold Case Posse have ascertained, i.e., that the documents in question are forged ...and WHODUNNIT. The fact that it is fairly obvious sometimes doesn't mean much in a court of law. "OK the documents are fakes. Now what?
Also try this on Holiday Express Lawyers (myself included). The forged documents don't really have much to do directly with the question of Constitutional Eligibility.
If someone in authority somewhere decides to look over Sheriff Joes's stuff, and agrees with it ... publicly ... we have a shot at shaming the guy from office, particularly if Congress gets in the act. A longer shot than Frac Daddy in the Derby.
Then, if some miraculous concatenation of events finally forces the SCOTUS to get off its ass and accept a case ... that would actually not have an effect on a sitting President. A in, "OK, he was ineligible. But he is the President." It would STILL be up to Congress to throw the bum out.
