Suppose Obama was declared ineligible by the Supreme Court. Consider what would follow. His followers would howl like angry dogs that the court, not Obama is illegitimate. They would take to the streets and riot. Obama would then say for the sake of the nation he is increasing the amount of judges on the court and once his stooges were in place they'd overturn the verdict.

In a clever ploy he'd have control of the last segment of American government that could oppose him. Imagine how much worse FDR would have been had the court not been able to stop some of his madness. Careful what you wish for, it might come true.

If Obama was found to be ineligible after the fact he could not appoint anyone to anything. In fact everything he had done prior is negated.

Whatever the outcome, adherence to the Constitution is more important than a hissy fit. The Constitution is not there for convenience, it is there for a purpose. We cannot be afraid of the Constitution. If we back down because the lunatics riot then we are not a nation of laws anymore, we have then become a true Democracy, which is mob rule. It will set a precedent, what will be next? One by one the mob will be able to strip of us of our rights so as to avoid a conflict. If it comes to that the Constitution then becomes meaningless.

Let the chumps riot. We have the guns.

He would have no right to appoint to the court. Declaring him ineligible means just that. He is right now a citizen - he is not a senator nor is he the President Elect. That claim can only be given after the electoral vote has been counted. I do believe that has yet to happen. Actually I know it, but your claim is preposterous. Obama would then say for the sake of the nation he is increasing the amount of judges on the court and once his stooges were in place they'd overturn the verdict. Now imagine if he is allowed to take office. Do you not think that there are just as many people that will take offense and take to the streets? Our claim is Constitutional, their claim is to overtake our country. We will not stand by idle.
