Yes there will be riots and the nation will survive. If the Constitution is dismantled to prevent riots the nation will not survive.
Yep, better use it while you have it:
First Amendment to the United States Constitution
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;
or abridging the freedom of speech,
or of the press;
or the right of the people peaceably to assemble,
and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances
“Yes there will be riots and the nation will survive. If the Constitution is dismantled to prevent riots the nation will not survive.”
There may be a few riots, but so be it. They would be the folks who riot over upsetting results of a football game! Those who are ready to riot over most anything. Venture to guess it would be only in a few major cities that deal with riots on a regular basis. Believe most Americans would be angry that they were so royally lied to by Obama if it turns out he does not meet the most basic of constitutional requirements.
Excellent point, and very nicely phrased!
Personally, I don't think there would be riots, because I suspect a lot of black people would feel very betrayed and used by Obama. In fact, even a lot of the average white liberals might feel that they had been used. I think it would also put the nail in the coffin of the press, since these were the people who could have asked the questions in time to prevent this from happening.
I'm not talking about the radical loonies of any color, who will of course insist that it doesn't matter, and what's a major lie among friends? But I don't think radical loonies are the majority of his voters: the majority were people who voted either on the basis of color, or because they wanted to be part of the feel-good moment which Obama was portrayed as representing from the very start.
That said, I think this has zero chance of going anywhere. I believe the courts suspect, as any logical person would, that he has something to hide, and they don't want to deal with the consequences. It is definitely a constitutional crisis if he is revealed not to be qualified, and what court wants that? So they will just keep protecting him and preventing him from ever having to reveal it.
If we swear in a foreign national that is not qualified to be president, There will be riots in the streets. Especially Washington DC streets. Obama supporters don't have a monopoly on rioting.
