Jack Maskell, an attorney with the Congressional Research Service, prepared this memo in April 2009 in response to members of Congress asking about the eligibility issue.
What he said is practically identical to what Obama’s lawyers put in their case before Judge Carter - right down to the mention that people should take note of the “contemporaneous birth announcement” in The Advertiser. Conflates Fukino’s announcement that they have a birth certificate on record as if it was confirmation that what is posted on Factcheck is what they have on record. Takes what is on the Factcheck COLB as its own authentication - forgetting to mention that he has no idea whether or not what was posted online is genuine, because an online image is not self-authenticating and thus can’t be used for legal proof.
IOW, the legal reasoning is flawed in the whole thing. Basically the whole argument can be summarized as this: It’s up to the states and Obama doesn’t legally have to show a thing. Too bad, so sad. (Followed by all the Obama talking points and disinformation)
I hope you start feeling better. Being sick is no fun. My son was dizzy last night and today; ended up having IV fluids pumped into him because his heart rate was down to 50 and they couldn’t hear a pulse to get a blood pressure reading on him. He’s doing better now. He’s been dehydrated before in spite of eating and drinking normally and I wish we could find out why.
Sorry about your son - is he very thin? Does he eat enough salt?
Wow.
I don’t think I’m getting ready to leave this mortal world but at my age one never knows! A bit better today.
So, this Maskell dude put this jive together in April, no doubt at the behest of 0thugga’s people.
What disgusting nonsense, and the very worst part is that the Rs swallowed it and said nary a word. SICKENING! Every one of them should be asked why they accepted this as truth and were silent as little mice.
