Sounds like an admission that Martinez thinks Obama has an eligibility problem under the Constitution, to me.
Exactly. Here is how I interpret it:
The Repubs have known for a long time that this was brewing and have made a deliberate effort to stay out of it while all these independent actions work their way through. There is no other way to explain the absolute silence across the Republican Party and talk radio. Politically, this thing is radioactive and the media will try initially to shield themselves and Obama by blaming the hate-filled Repubs. They would play Limbaugh clips and talk about meanspirited this and that for hours on end. However, if its just crickets heard from the Repubs, all the easier is it is for John Q. Public to see the truth of the left's deception.
On the other hand, if constituents are burning up his phone line and its getting widespread enough for the senators and reps to fear that they are being perceived as non-responsive(or even naïve once the story breaks), then something has to be done to at least reach out to their voters, even though not with the words that they want to hear. I am sure that many of the congresscritters have this problem and the leaders got together and issued a standard form.
Everyone should take a step back and view it from another angle: Once through the fluff, Mel deferred to the interpretation of some Fed Circuit Ct. judge's opinion on an issue that is currently pending before the Supremes via Donofrio and the others. No one would ever honestly view Surrick's holding as the final authority when the Supreme Court has it set for conference in four days. What Mel and the others actually said is exactly what RNC will say when the scheisse hits the fan with Barry and his Birth Cert: "We defer to the Court."
This thing is starting to get more coverage at a time when it should be even easier for the MSM to ignore. Barry and his army of propagandists are desperate to distract the masses from seeing the facts and the very real media complicity so they are desperate to call the Repubs racists, extremists, etc. Well, when no public figure on the right is even talking about it they have nothing to distort. As far as inflicting maximum political damage goes, it is best to give the DNC the spotlite while all hell breaks lose.
If anything, this goes to show that many of the critter's constituent affairs liasons are very busy fielding these calls. I see this as a very good sign.
I attribute no such motivation to Martinez. I merely note that, between the lines, he all but admits that there is a problem ... unintentionally, in my opinion. Martinez advocated undermining citizenship requirements before with amnesty, and he’s advocating it again. Just like McCain, just like Obama, just like Lindsay Graham, just like so many others who apparently envision some wonderful, transnational future for themselves. A self-styled citizen of the world invariably hates the Constitution. It’s an obstacle.
