When someone is asked a material question (not necessarily having been sworn) and an average or normal person under the circumstances would reply—or deny—but the person says nothing, that silence could be introduced as a “tacit admission”.
Obama is wasting the time of the Supreme Court of the United States—you or I could, and I think would have said long before now, “Here’s authentic proof that I’m a natural born citizen.”
For those who say, `Time to move on, he won,’ et cetera:
1.) I will not consider acknowledging his election until he proves his qualification for the office. He is illegitimate until then.
2.) Those who think this is a waste of time can move on to another thread, we will fight for the Constitution and carry your weight, but stay out of our path.
Nice post rocco.
You are quite possibly the last person to carry my weight, unless you can also carry forty pounds of IBA, fifty pounds of gear and a base load of ammo and a rifle.
You and a squad of Internet Rambo's like you couldn't carry the weight I and a hundred thousand others have.
That, sir, is the one reason I don't relegate this issue to the Tinfoil Hat Brigade file.
It is within Zero's power to release his booping birth certificate and end this matter. He doesn't. This may be because of pure arrogance rather than him having something to hide, but a reasonable person would find it suspicious. The issue at this point is not whether he becomes POTUS (he will, *sigh*), but rather a president-elect who's behaving like a criminal suspect.
Lucy, of possible interest to your list.

***That sounds a bit... quizzical. Is that a rule of evidence? I’m hoping you can provide some sort of legal code or somethingorother to help us along with this so that I can feel more confident using that argument moving forward.
“2.) Those who think this is a waste of time can move on to another thread, we will fight for the Constitution and carry your weight, but stay out of our path.”
I’m with you!
Kindly address “Admission by Silence” in view of “You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.”
It looks like remaining silent can be used against you and speaking can be used against you.
>I will not consider acknowledging his election until he proves his qualification for the office. He is illegitimate until then.<
Do you think that Obama even cares if you or anyone else is unwilling to accept his legitimacy as POTUS? As long as he remains protected by Congress and the SCOTUS (and apparently he is) he has nothing to worry about.
At the risk of stating the obvious, none of the lame lawsuits have never made it far enough into the legal process for the Supreme Court or any other court to order Obama to produce his documentation. If anyone is wasting the court's time it's those bringing the suits that do not come close to meeting the legal definition of standing.
1.) I will not consider acknowledging his election until he proves his qualification for the office. He is illegitimate until then.
As a lawyer then I'm sure you can point us all to the law that designates how presidential candidates prove their eligibility and what agency they prove it to?

Excellent suggestion. The way you are all stumbling we might accidentally get crushed in the collapse.
