There is no precedent if the ineligibility of the office holder is successfully challenged. It’s arguable that any claim of precedent is weakened by repeated, unsuccessful challenge, barring any definitive SCOTUS ruling bearing directly upon the matter.
So, going all Joy Behar and saying “so what, who cares?” is not the best course of action, even if you think the “issue” is not an electoral winner. There is more at stake here, the very electoral process itself, as far as the Executive Branch is concerned.
I, for one, don’t want some future Soros protegé attaining the highest office in the land. We’ve seen the damage done by this comparative piker in a little over a year. Imagine someone a little less inept giving it a go. We’ll all be citizens of the world in no time.
I’ve never had a “who cares?” attitude about this issue. I’ve always maintained that Obama’s status is questionable and that we need a SCOTUS ruling.
Exactly! That's why it grinds my gears to hear/see people that are supposedly Conservatives say to "give up" or "it isn't worth the time" or other such BS. How foolish to let the left and its propaganda organs define the issue and deride anyone that understands the real issue as a "birther." This is a very big mistake and our Country is sure to suffer (even more than we are now) if we let this go unchallenged. The trolls will never give up, their intent is to stop this in its tracks. But true Conservatives must not be afraid of their lame labels and be willing to continue to pursue this challenge, to give up is a form of national suicide.
