It is time to beat the doors down of Congress.
They need to hear about this and object on the day the EC vote is to be certified.
What is that day, BTW?
If McCain put it in writing that he was born on a military base, while he was born in a hospital in Colon, Republic of Panama, he should be federally investigated for fraud, as well as BHO II.
Is that what he did? Or did not correct?
It certainly appears to be the case, unspun.
Aw, it's not like Obama'Axelrod would ever knock anyone off a balot, disqualify a candidate, or besmirch his character, or anything like that....

Sen. Hillary Clinton isn't giving up her current day job until her secretary of state gig is all the way in the bag.
"Sen. Clinton intends to remain in office through confirmation," said Philippe Reines, Clinton's Senate adviser.
That means the earliest Clinton could resign is Jan. 20, after a new Senate convenes and gives its approval for her to become Barack Obama's top diplomat.

Hmmmmm.
Hmmmmm indeed.
From the New York Daily News poll:
Are you sad that Hillary will no longer be a New York senator?
Yes. 43%
No. 57%
That's alright, who cares what he thinks, he's only one discredited RAT has-been.
Most of us millions of conservatives voted for Palin not McCain, she's the one who drew and continues to draw huge crowds.
He can go pound sand.
Berg is an attorney and took a case from folks who lost loved ones on 911. He followed the case as his clients desired him to do. That doesn't make him a 'truther', agitprop.
You obamanoid agitprops really ought to update your attack points occasionally. Dosgusting sneaky obamanoids coming out of the FR woodwork. Yeah, I'm addressing you, deceit-bug. LOL
Got him by the short hairs, hasn’t she?
You said, “”I can think of several in the House, who will stand up and attempt to force the eligibility issue. I cant think of anyone likely to do so in the Senate, though.””
Gee, where is Blagovich when you need him.........If this were a Republican issue he would be busy ‘selling’ Senators on the idea of raising the question sponsored by a private party donor.
Star is here for two purposes:
1. To earn a paycheck from Axelrod.
2. To deflate & dissuade all efforts.
If you think Republicans can't be "persuaded," you need look no further than Lindsey Graham's odd about-face, some years ago during the Clinton administration. I don't think it was money, though. If he'd been the screeching, crypto-progressive then that he is now, he'd never have been elected in the first place. We are talking about South Carolina, after all.
Will someone call and mention the question of federal court jurisdiction and process, posed in I.O.?
***
I may be dense, but what is I.O.?
~~~Constitutional help . . PING!
Can you think of any approach that would be cleaner than invoking the Twentieth Amendment between certification and inauguration? Any action prior to that time would allow Barack Obama to engage in brinkmanship. But after that time he could be told that he's free to delay the release of records for as long as he likes; Joe Biden can serve as Acting President until such time as Obama comes around.
Following up further on: Is the Judicial Review Allowed Only After the Electoral College Vote and Congressional Certification?
I think it is quite clear that the difference in jurisdiction between Wrotnowski v. Bysiewicz and Bush v. Gore is that, for Wrotnowski there are constitutional "mechanisms" in place for a "challenge" of a presidential candidate's eligibility, while in the case of the Bush v. Gore, the question had to do with the Florida Supreme Court overruling in that state's process for counting and certifying its vote (a constitutional issue bubble-up).
That is a distinction great enough for a federal judge to drive a truck through.
1. Wrotnowski: a U.S. constitutional process is already proscribed for this challenge. Jurisdiction is spelled out.
2. Bush: State Supreme Court violated their own Constitution. Jurisdiction has already been violated by a lower court (which is a classic standing for of SCOTUS case).
I do not pretend to understand what this means for the Donofrio or Wrotnowski petitions for certiorari, which apparently remain pending, nor for the Berg case.
Keep faith. Push senators and representatives to action. (Might we need at least one of each, for a brench-to-branch injunction? Again, I do not know.) Do what is necessary to inform the People.
Well Cort Wrotnowski wasn't on, but I got in word or two. Thanks for asking.
