Besides, I just realized I need to correct my earlier post:
The judge has just essentially rule that he consideres the current Dauphine of France to be POTUS! ---> The judge has just essentially rule that he consideres the current Dauphine of France to be POTUS eligible!
Imagine that! An actual real life foreign prince (who has U.S. citizenship) can now be considered eligibile to be our Commander in Chief!
Who in their right mind beleives 1) this is OK and 2) what the framers intended?
Stunning.
Are you serious?
They did it to exclude naturalized citizens. They were thinking of the situation, which was not uncommon in those days (think of William and Mary), of the royalty from one country coming to another country to rule.
The Founding Fathers (it has been said before) lived in a world where journeys between countries could be measured in months, not hours. Once in a country there was strong incentive to put down roots. We live today in a world where we can set foot in several different countries across the globe in the space of a week.
I believe in the days of the Founders, a "natural born citizen" was a child of citizens of a country, born in the country, because these were the people who had committed to settling in a land that took some effort to travel to.
As an aside, how many stories in science fiction where travel between countries or even planets could be instantaneous, was the topic of citizenship of a country (or planet, or galaxy) ever explored? It's taking the difference in travel logistics between our time and the Founders' time and ratcheting it up a bit.
Yeah, here's my "Birth Certificate:"
You'd have to hack the HDoH's server. Failing that, Photoshop or other forgery skills would be irrelevant.
Funny how it's always the same ones who crawl out of the wood work, isn't it?
I used to love it when they would post that the system is too corrupt for any Court or politician to rise against obama, you know riots etc., but then would continue to insist we have to do it through the oh so honest electoral process.
Can't tell you how many times I almost sacrificed my monitotor over those....
Thanks for the Ping. I guess. :(
“Are you serious?”
Yep. Because decades of legal experience make the answer obvious, and every single court case to date has unfolded exactly as I said it would, thereby validating said experience and judgment against actual external reality (i.e., not the reality residing in my own head).
Wanting something to be true, no matter how badly, doesn’t make it a serious position.
I’m contacting Chuck Norris... it’s on.
LOL, no snark intended but that is really quite naive thinking.
First, no server is secure from hackers, even the DOD has been compromised.
Second, it would be way too easy to pay some one off on the inside to change and/or replace whatever you wanted to with another file.
Really, you need to rethink your position.
Eh- then ya’ takes your chances.
maybe obama’s crooked team paid the judge off?
Why don't you take your tired ol azz outta here do do some crocheting or something?
Then post a thread about it, we'll come along and tell you how you're doing it wrong.
Ya’ takes your chances every time ya’ decide to get out of bed. I just prefer to see things as they are.
“Obot!” and “Traitor!”
(Said shriekingly)
Yeah.
I have a 11 yr old and a 6 yr old. I cannot force myself to consider the state of the world they are going to live in.
Touche.
“Well said dear Lady....even worse is that the electoral process seems to be in about the same shape. “
True that.
I went and bought lottery tickets. WTH... it’s our best bet now in this damned welfare state.
Upthread it is reported that Hatfield has already said he will appeal...presumably all the way to the GA or US Supreme Court. Hatfield will appeal Malihi's Ankeny/WKA-based conclusion of law that at birth a citizen can be NBC even with a non-citizen father.
And let me just note, for the record, that I have never lost a case where the opposition failed to show up. That takes a very special level of talent.
Either that or get in, get yours and screw the rest.....no matter what it takes.
I'm finding it very hard not to release a fuselage of cuss words right now, just damn...grrrrrr
