This article is crap. This author thinks that conservatives are depending and hoping for a Clinton-esque parsing of the Constitution to keep Obama out of the White House.

He thinks that we are misguided and that the parsing of words like “eligible” is grabbing at straws.

Sorry. But for me, there should be no parsing necessary for a phrase like that or many others.

THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN DECIDED LONG AGO BEFORE HE WAS ALLOWED TO EVEN DECLARE AS A CANDIDATE.

It is only a crisis NOW because it was not done so THEN. THIS is going to open up a can of worms for us as a country, because WE did not insist the Constitution be followed. That requirement was put there for a reason.

Congress stopped living by the Constitution a long time ago. Where do you get the idea if will be faithful to it now? Obama's inauguration is a done deal and it doesn't matter if he's not a natural-born citizen. To even raise the issue is racist and to the courts the issue is non-justiciable.

Why is it a mistake to want a person who may or may not be citizen or naturalized citizen to put up the proof?

If we ignore it or the implications of; we might as well jump under the bus with the rest of them.

No thanks. It needs to be determined even if it only means we know who the enemy is. How else are we going to fix it or anything else?
