I have been saying this for over a year. I believe that running a naturalized citizen in '12 will force the issue. That citizen will have "standing" to sue for equality under the law when refused a place on the ballot because of NBC status.
I don't believe 0b0z0 will be running for reelection because of the above possibilities and fear of Hillary forcing him out; however, that's another subject.
.....We need to focus on exactly what it is the elected Republicans in the House intend to do with the power they will receive from the voters in 2010.
Not a single repeal bill will ever pass the Senate survive a veto.
One avenue is wide open; defund all passed bills (HC, etc.,) EPA, DOEn, DOEd, HHS, Czars and staffing, 21 0f 22 MO assistants, unions, banks and states' bailouts, return unspent funds to the treasury, etc.
I'm sure I missed a chunk. This will cut the deficit by over a trillion in a matter of weeks.
Correction:
Not a single repeal bill will ever pass the Senate survive a veto.
Should be:
Not a single repeal bill will ever pass the Senate and/or survive a veto.
“I believe that running a naturalized citizen in ‘12 will force the issue. That citizen will have “standing” to sue for equality under the law when refused a place on the ballot because of NBC status.”
Wouldn’t work. No court has held that a naturalized citizen is eligible for the Presidency, and the ruling would simply be that someone born outside the USA and naturalized at a later date as a US citizen is ineligible. That would have no effect on placing Obama on the ballot.
Your words. My agreement. Not a single GOP candidate's word ... or agreement publicly expressed!
No one can say with any degree of certainty what the the GOP elected representatives are going to do in DC. Why is that?
