You don’t seem to understand where I’m coming from.
Congress needs to be working on undoing the garbage the illegal usurper has already done and would like to keep doing - and we have a R majority in the House that seems intent on doing that, and some good freshmen in the Senate who are also committed to that. I am not urging Congress to do anything on the eligibility issue; they’ve got other priorities, like you say.
But this is a state issue, as the CRS said. The states decide what protocols and procedures they will use in order to choose their presidential electors. And that includes the way that they will ascertain that the person their elector is pledged to vote for is Constitutionally eligible to be POTUS.
All we need is for one state to enact a law such as the one I have suggested, and then the whole country can know that the obstacles keeping the whole country from being able to LEGALLY vet the candidate have been dealt with. That is what I am urging everyone to make sure that at least one state does, in time for it to be in effect for the 2012 election.
How can anybody have a gripe with that? It takes NOTHING away from Congress’ efforts to undo the other stuff, which I also support. We’ve been hit with a multi-pronged attack and we have to win on all fronts. Fighting this front is doing NOTHING to damage any other front. By directing the battle to the states where the people have more influence, I’m actually working to clear this issue AWAY from Congress so they can deal with undoing the damage already done.
If your big issue is RINO’s, the most effective way for us to get them (and everybody else) to actually implement the will of their constituents is to break down the monopoly and power of the media-politician cabal in DC. If the truth was ever fully known on this one issue it would send shock waves that would impact that cabal for a long, long time.
In fact, Jeff Kuhner is saying that the media people say they won’t touch this issue precisely because they know that it would have such huge implications for everything. IOW, they say it matters TOO MUCH. This isn’t piddles. This gets to the very rule of law and the very idea that government is accountable to the PEOPLE. That is the essence of what America and our Constitution are all about. In a rubber-hits-the-road way, this issue IS the Constitution, and the politicians and media all know it, which is why they fear it.
And that is precisely why those politicians and media need to be met head-on. We can not let the Constitution die within our lifetime. If we want our kids to have any earthly future in this place, we need to fight for them right now, by getting our state legislators to pass the right bill.
You’re both preaching to the choir. All the choir is trying to tell you is there are a lot of things that turd and his buddies do to us and none of it gets challenged effectively by the people in office who should be doing it. Are they going to listen to you, or you, or me? Any of them? They aren’t listening too well at present. We have a lot of work to do. That doesn’t mean that I don’t get to take issue with your approach to solving the problem, or offer my valid (some of them are anyway) thoughts. But since its so damned important to you for me to affirm that you’re right, you’re right , now, what’s your plan to get the indisputible proof of your argument out there in the public eye so that the glitterati have no excuse to ignore it any longer and are forced to take action to put Biden in the Oval Office? Then, can we work on repealing the 17th amendment?
