Can you imagine a secretary of state allowing the parties to self-police. Talk about gross negligence.
The Constitution: “We The People, ...For The People, etc.” has been screwed!!!
This was sent to Rep Judy Biggert (R-IL-13) today:
Dear Rep Biggert:
There has been a troubling lawsuit, now dismissed, in Pennsylvania that attempted to clarify the citizenship and eligibility for the Democrat candidate who is running for President.
The courts have thusfar ruled that the US citizen who brought the case does not "have standing" in the court. The question needs to be asked 'Who has standing to challenge the eligibility of a Presidential candidate?
From what I can tell, the determination of eligibility happens at the Elector College step. In this current campaign, if the Democrat challenger wins, there will be a constitutional crisis the likes we have never seen.
In response to the lawsuit, the DNC was joined. A spokesman from the DNC to the court admitted, on the record, that if the true birth and citizenship information was made public, it would be "embarrassing to the candidate".
Maybe the data is embarrassing, but that should be far secondary to finding out if the candidate is truly eligible to serve.
Please promise that if the Democrat candidate is elected, the eligibility challenge will get a fair hearing at the Electoral College step. I believe Sen. McCain can win, but if the opponent wins, this country is in real trouble of we have a leader who is ineligible.
Many Democrats still hold a grudge saying that President Bush is STILL ineligible based on the 2000 vote. The "native born" issue is far more problematic.
Good luck in the election - you have my support.
Again, please promise to challenge eligibility at the Electoral College step if we get that far.
Best regards,

This guy could not pass a simple security clearance much less pass a vetting process for the office of President. All of these "dismissed" lawsuits should be used at the Electoral College level (per the Constitution) to prevent him from taking office. Who dares to "speak truth" to this phony power?!?!?!
Now just who the F*** is IN CHARGE OF VERIFICATION.
Good question as apparently there isn’t any federal laws that provide for proving qualifications prior to running. Apparently states don’t require the proof either. And I know of nothing in the Constitution that states one be required to prove qualifications to be President in order to run.
So it seems to me that one can run without any proof of qualifications. But if elected then it would seem that one could be challenged to provide proof either before or after taking office. Who knows what the process should be.
Personally, I’d like to see Obama defeated on Nov. 4 so that such proof wouldn’t be required.
Some guy posted above that there are many precedences for filing these cases. We need a judge with moose balls to stand up and call BS on the birth certificate.
The Pontus Pilate Washings!!!
“If that’s all that frustrates you about our government then you’re doing better than me.”
I don’t know why you have gotten the impression that that is all that frustrates me about our government. I’m sure my list is as long as yours and every other American who loves our country and sees the dangers we face not only with the possibility of an Obama presidency, but the far-left lurch our country is taking.
Just being a registered Democrat doesn't automatically convey standing, Berg needed to show an actual injury suffered by Obama's running. As the Judge Surrick outlined in his decision.
“Can you imagine a secretary of state allowing the parties to self-police. Talk about gross negligence.”
“Gross negligence”, is exactly what this is. Well put.
If a Secretary of State, who has to certify elections, has no legal standing, then who does?
Looks like an oligarchy, walks like an oligarchy, talks like an oligarchy. Hmmm.
Howard Dean now has a legal admission from it since he didn’t respond (yes, no tossed out).
But the legal admission was that he had material and knowledge of Obama’s citizenship status.
I found that interesting.
yes, no tossed out = yes, now tossed out
I think so. When it comes to the Presidency, I don't think this issue has ever really come up. I don't agree with you the Obama is not a natural-born citizen. However, he has the most convuluted personal history of anyone who has ever run for the Presidency. I don't think the FF's ever considered that there would be any doubt as to someone's qualifications. This is certainly a blind spot in the electoral process.
“Moose balls” is exactly what we need. I will continue to pray for an October, or early November before the election, surprise.
“Personally, I’d like to see Obama defeated on Nov. 4 so that such proof wouldn’t be required.”
That appears to be our only hope at this point in time. However, even when Obama is defeated, this issue needs to stay front and center lest it happen again.
