“I wonder why no challenge on this point was not made by John McCain, the Republican Party, any of the 50 States, the Electoral College, the Congress, the Vice President after the 2008 election and before the Inaguration? Perhaps they don’t agree with you.”
Actually, mass confusion. Some insight
The issue of vetting was discussed in several of the suits. An interesting article or book can be written on the collapse and failure of the vetting process in this election. Try some research on your own - really not too difficult, you just have to set aside your prejudices.
Briefly it seems as though nobody knew what to do, misinformation, bad advise, confusion and a news media that would never investigate anything about this candidate - merely gush about how wonderful he was.
So, were any of these plantiffs granted standing. I think not. In fact, I believe that we are currently at 71 suits, all of which have been dismissed. I have followed this closely since 2008. I was prepared to believe the born in Kenya theories, but have since come to the conclusion that there’s no there there.
As for these lawsuits, they illustrate my point. The courts are not going to let any of these go forward, they don’t want to touch it with a ten foot pole. The politicians, likewise. None of them, including the Republicans value the Constitution above their own political careers. I would suggest that where we disagree is that I think that the people who count knew what they would need to do to stop Obama’s candidacy, they just chose not to do it. Now that he is installed in office, the only Constitutional remedy left is impeachment. The Congress is not about to do that, so we can only look to the 2012 elections.
I’m not prejudiced about all of this, I just think that most of these objections are wrong on the facts and are not going to go anywhere as a matter of practicality. I’ll revise my opinion when I see evidence that warrants.
