Until Barry's poll numbers sink sufficiently to alert the democrat criminal enterprise that thier leader is about to be rejected and them along with him, they will not allow anything to endanger the head of their power structure. You would think that Steny Hoyer, lusting as he does to become Speaker, would bring this to the floor and push it through because it would impugn the Pelosi leadership, and exposing her ineptness would be an 'out' from responsibility for the democrats facing 2010 re-election. There is little doubt that a number of democrat offciails knew Barry was not strictly Constitutionally eligible. But Nacy Pelosi's hide is the primary pelt hanging out there to be poofed because she endorsed his nominee eligibility at the state's level and then squelched any possibility to object in January whent he EC votes were received. The key to getting this affirmative action bastard figure out of the Oval Office is how it can be done without exposing the democrats for their complicity. If a way is not forthcoming, the criminal enterprise will not allow it to move forward reagrdless of how it 'looks', because the democrats know the enemedia will paint them innocent regardless of the truth the enemedia has in hand.

That may have been true up until the Military got involved. But in the present setting, you can't run the Military effectively at this point because you have no authority to issue orders. You have no Commander in Chief.

That's a relatively urgent proposition. Suppose someone invaded? Suppose one of your offshore Military adventures goes South--maybe because the Russians or some other adversary realizes that the Military is handicapped; how do you act?

I continue to wonder what the Joint Chiefs are thinking about--they can't really tolerate the current condition.

me too. They for the most part are very serious minded people who have to wonder what will happen to the troops under their command and what this issue is doing to the troops thinking and morale.

I agree. Lat night I went over to military.com and some of the other military forums. First of all, trolls post there and those are usually deleted, but the long time posters are split. The majority seem to think he needs to provide proof and have serious questions. Some hint, but seen afraid to come right out and say it, then you have the ones that will defend him no matter what. Many of them said that they consider this a Constitutional crisis already and they very fact that they are concerned should be reason enough for his to release all of his records that he has hidden. End of story. Why won’t he do that? I can see only one reason, he’s hiding things.
