It is still processing, so give it a little time.
Here is my take on this:
The exchange starts out with Serrano more or less apologizing to Thomas for the left’s treatment of him in the past.
As Thomas is replying, Serrano then interrupts Thomas with an acknowledgment of a Thomas opinion (apparently stated previously) that he doesn’t think that the appropriations committee should necessarily be chaired by a judge.
Thomas then replies by relating that issue to the POTUS eligibility issue, indirectly referring to where Serrano was born.
Serrano then makes light of the apparent fact that SCOTUS (or Thomas) refuses to share opinion on the POTUS eligibility issue, but is willing to acknowledge his own eligibility to chair the committee.
Thomas then acknowledges the avoidance of the issue, but is not too clear on which... I believe in Thomas’ jest, he meant both.
What is clear to me is that Thomas is the one who brought the POTUS eligibility issue up.
My personal belief is that he did so because it is the eligibility issue which is first and foremost in his mind...
but he knows that politically, he must bide his time.
Thomas just couldn’t help himself. I think it frustrates him that the eligibility issue is not more prominent in the dominant media and court of public opinion.
Another clear conclusion I can draw from this is that EVERYBODY KNOWS ABOUT IT!!!
Yep, yer right on target!
Thank you so much! I agree with your opinion of this.
Wow ... your interpretation and mine are completely different.
They all looked very uncomfortable when he said it, lots of shifting around in chairs and pained looks on their faces. A very odd statement and very odd reactions. My take on it is that they all know, they are just going to wait it out and hope he loses in 2012 and they don’t have to deal with it.
My exact conclusion. They don't want to touch it with a ten foot pole. Not because they like Obama, but because any decision they make will be a bad one for the people, whichever side they are on.
