The question of whether Obama is Constitutionally eligible is a question of both law and fact, and cases were brought before it even COULD have been a “political question”. Because of the HDOH’s refusal to obey their state laws and rules, the only avenue possible for solving the factual question was through the courts, so blowing off the cases because the court didn’t want to address what you call a laughable question of law was, in effect, a decision to blow off the question of fact for every American who has questions - a lot of them because they rightly resent that the carrier of the nuclear football is less-stringently vetted than their own child is vetted to play in Little League.
And apparently that is a reality that SCOTUS and every other entity with any authority is not only fine with, but is a double standard they will jealously protect.
They’re flipping the entire country the bird.
I suggest that the Declaration of Independence also be read in Congress in its entirety. Particularly the part about governments deriving their authority from the consent of the governed, the part about governments being instituted among men to secure the unalienable rights, and the part about what’s supposed to happen when the government becomes destructive of those ends.
I think it would give them a pretty fair picture of the mood of a large part of the American public, and an explanation for why the Speaker’s gavel changed hands. The whole system has flipped us the bird - not just on the Constitution but also on matters of facts and laws that they just don’t care about.
I look at Issa’s list of investigations and I can’t help but think that they are piddles compared to the lawlessness that has surrounded Obama’s eligibility. If we’re going to swallow that camel, what’s left to strain out is just the gnats that are puny enough to not be politically controversial. And those things are pretty big things, but they are small compared to the grand-daddy of them all, the elephant in the room that politicians, courts, bureaucrats, and media are all calling the 60% who have doubts about Obama’s origins “fringe lunatics” for mentioning.
According to Jeff Kuhner, the media is afraid to address this because they fear that if we get answers a portion of the public will riot. It’s not the people who have the questions they’re afraid of; the government and media have been screwing us from day one and we have stayed within the legal means at our disposal (which amounts to nothing). They are afraid of Obama’s supporters. IOW, in spite of their publicly pointing fingers at the Tea Party as violent, they know where the violence comes from, and they are prepared to hand this nation over to the lawless thugs who wouldn’t like having the lawlessness confronted.
This is serious, serious doo-doo. When the media is scared sh!tless by lawless thugs it’s serious, serious doo-doo, because when we suspend the free press for the sake of terrorists, we lose. Go back and listen to what all was said after 9-11 and realize that what Al Qaeda couldn’t do to bend the knees of this nation by killing 3000 innocents, Obama’s thugs have done, supposedly just by suggesting that people will laugh at anybody who mentions the eligibility issue. I don’t buy it. It’s not because wanting documentation is piddly, extreme, or laughable. It’s because the media has been scared sh!tless by an enemy of America that they recognize as more dangerous than Al Qaeda
on 9-11.
To retreat in the face of that enemy is surrender to terrorism. Plain and simple.
This post, #580, is the best I have read on ANY eligibility thread. Wow—you laid it out in its true perspective for the first time, at least for me. I knew it was important—VERY important, in fact—but now I see it as far more fundamental and crucial. It made for a sobering read, but well, *well* worth every line. You gave me a lot to think about. Thank you.
I second your statement...
To retreat in the face of that enemy is surrender to terrorism. Plain and simple.
and go one further, to surrender to this enemy will ultimately lead to the END the United States of America.
No true American should misunderstand. We are in the fight of our lives and the outcome matters for future generations.
