Whatever happens, people will know in the future that eligibility will be examined.
IMO that’s a damn good thing... no matter the outcome of this particular case.
...just sayin....
Yes, it is a good thing. But what do we do now? This is our only hope.
I don’t have much faith either regarding the Supremes, but I will tell you one thing, I have never been so angry regarding an election as I have with this one. It just wasn’t right in so many ways.
This man has no business sitting in the oval. He lied and cheated and used various voter fraud methods while the people in charge stood by and did nothing, and now we are supposed to just say oh well and step into line.
Not to mention that this man may not even be eligible to hold the position and we are supposed to just sit there and say nothing realizing we the people are at the mercy of these people?
No NO and NO!!! If this man is allowed to assume the oval office, I will no longer participate in the elections. I will know with absolute certainty that it is all a sham.
By allowing this, we are saying to foreign born persons hell yes run we will not do anything about it because the voters wanted it and the Constitution be damned.
I knew this was coming, but now that I am witnessing the death nell for the Republic that I and you all here at FR love it just breaks my heart.
I am also very very angry with our so called conservative voices, Rush, Laura et al. They are not brave enough to come out and talk about this. THEY ARE COWARDS!!! How dare they sit in judgement of others who keep silent when they do exactly the same.
When they ask us for help with the Fairness Doctrine, you can count me out!!

If eligibility didn’t matter a month ago, what makes you think it will ever matter? The precedent was set on Nov. 4, 2008.
Heck, if he gets away with this, the whole Constitution is meaningless (which is what he thinks it is anyway).
That said, I think he will get away with it. I would be truly stunned if the Supreme Court decided to examine this case.
Obviously, however, Obama is a little worried about it, which is why he is consolidating power so rapidly and trying to stay in the eye of the media (and hence, in the eye of his mob of brain-dead followers, just for insurance purposes). And probably the reason he is appointing so many Clintonistas is because many folks in the upper ranks of the Dem party know that he’s not eligible and just on the off chance that he gets booted, they want their apparatus in place.
That said, I don’t think there’s a chance in the world that the SC is going to examine this. The case involves three people, and they could theoretically find that none of them, including McCain, qualified as natural born. This might be a solution, but I think they won’t dare to touch it.
