(When Will Obama Produce A Birth Certificate?) Supreme Court Accountablity"

I stand amazed at what I am witnessing in our constitutional republic. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the Constitution the rule of law in this nation? Don't Supreme Court judges take oaths promising to protect and uphold that Constitution from foreign and domestic enemies? If our laws are derived from this text, then what is it called when those laws are ignored? It is called, "breaking the law." Our Constitution lays down the eligibility requirements for presidents. One requirement states that the president of the United States must be a natural-born citizen. Now, any reasonable thinking person knows citizenship is proven by one's birth certificate. President-elect Barack Obama's presentation of a Certification of Live Birth certified that he was born alive but not that he was born in Hawaii. So we have rumors of a Kenyan birth. How do you get to the bottom of rumors? You inquire and investigate. Our Supreme Court judges are required to uphold our law and get to the bottom of this unnecessary upheaval that Mr. Obama has hurled America into. What's so hard about producing a real birth certificate? He is challenging our rule of law by refusing to prove his natural-born citizenship and is, therefore, undermining the foundation of our nation. If our Supreme Court justices continue to deny "hearing" the many lawsuits that they are being presented with concerning Mr. Obama's citizenship, then they are failing to do their jobs. The law states eligibility through natural-born citizenship is required. It is the court's duty to get to the bottom of this and hold Mr. Obama accountable to the law. LONNIE LECZO Louisville, Ky.

Interesting. A possible indication of collusion.

[Non-Sequitur]

Partially, but also there were other people who knew them and their parents who could verify, both formally and informally, their birth circumstances.

And did they?

But you are trying to play the race card on us. But we would care just as much if his father was a German and he was born in the south of France.

That's the furthest thing from my mind. I'm just pointing out that Obama as done no more and no less than any of his precessors did to prove his eligibility. I would be saying the same if this nonsense was directed at President-elect McCain.

Apparently there was some dustups behind the scene re no change in who gets to see the intel stuff and process besides Zer0. His flunkies will have to pass the same BI process that we did to sit on security group briefings.

Maybe, but an Obama EO can reverse this with the stroke of pen. It could even be a secret one, or even secret and issued on a "by name" basis.

[Singermom]

That is not true.

I know for sure that Ronald Reagan’s original birth certificate is on display at the RR Library.

Can someone post what this says.

Thank you!

Dear Sir,

Permit me to hint whether it would not be wise and seasonable to provide a strong check to the admission of foreigners into the administration of our national government ; and to declare expressly that the command in chief of the American army shall not be given to, nor devolve on any but a natural born citizen.

I remain, dear sir,

Your faithful friend and servant,

John Jay.

Thanks. I think we’ll see an attack from an unexpected direction, such as an attempt to pack the SCOTUS.

[justiceseeker93]

...an attempt to pack the SCOTUS.

The SCOTUS has already shown its irrelevance to enforcing the Constitution with such decisions as allowing McCain-Feingold to pass constitutional muster and allowing local government to abuse eminent domain.

Assuming no dramatic changes, there is no reason for O to want to do anything that rash. They are already signaling that they are satisfied with the idea of a likely illegal alien occupying the highest office in the land.

Why are so many Americans in Name Only willing to let him take office without proving his eligibility?

Why are so many Americans in Name Only willing to let him take office without proving his eligibility?

Greedy needy, ignorance, cravenness, political correctmess, hatefulness, guilty conscious, crave power, influence, stupidity. That about covers most of it.

[SunkenCiv]

Let us hope you’re right. My wild guess is, he won’t call for it (even FDR got shot down by congress and public opinion in his attempt, but got to appoint eight out of nine during his term (it sez here, he appointed nine, but one of those were appointed twice; the last of Hoover’s appointments left the Court during the Truman administration), but the Demonrats in Congress will make some kind of move.

It’s unfortunate, but “we the people” will have to clean house and elect people that we can rely on to uphold the law.

LOL thank you Lucy.
