Obama Birth Certificate Protest at SCOTUS

DCist ^ | 12-5-08

God bless you all. For each one of you there physically, there are hundreds of thousands of us with you in spirit.

[ALASKA]

Using Liberal observation techniques and math I estimate the crowd to be around 5,500.

[a real Sheila]

While I (and quite a few others) believe this story has legitimacy, I have completely lost faith in any sane attempt by anyone in any position of power to do anything about it! I would have loved to have been there and to have been part of a HUGE crowd “acting up.” Folks have given up though and we feel it would have been a waste of time and money to travel to DC for this.

We are now at a point in this country in which the SCOTUS, even if they are shown irrefutible proof that this case is worth pursing, won’t do a damned thing for fear of the RIOTING and absolute HELL RAISING (and oh yes, there would be blood in the streets) that would ensue if BHO is found to be inelligible to be POTUS.

We are truly at a point in which “mob rules.”
Never mind what the constitution says or what proof is delivered. Fear the backlash.

The same thing is going to happen in CA over Prop 8.
Either the courts are going to overturn it or take some unconstitutional action against the will of the voters, OR, it will come up again in the next election and the one after that and the one after that until it is defeated.

Excellent take and so true.!

[Zevonismymuse]

Thank goodness. I thought folks might be serious about a dozen folks at a protest being a decent showing. They could have doubled the turnout by handing flags to the people waiting at the nearest bus stop.

Lemmme guess, Larry Kudlow “Free market capitalism”?

[brushcop]

A mustard seed.

Very well said, anyone remember the story behind William Wilberforce? Virtually all by himself, year after year introducing a bill in Parliament to abolish slavery which took about 19 years and that was just the beginning, then it had to be put into effect! What a great man. It didn't take a battalion of people to accomplish that, just one man but it DID take TIME. What he withstood should be required reading for anyone getting into politics and stands on principle.

[McGruff]

..if the Court were to take on the Donofrio case and if he won then neither McCain or Obama could be president.

Sounds like a win-win situation to me.

[B4Ranch]

This is a case for the Constitutional lawyers to figure out regarding Juan McCain. Obama as far as I can see is a foreigner.

[real_patriotic_american]

McCain can still win the Presidency when Obama becomes ruled ineligible!

“That’s why if the Court were to take on the Donofrio case and if he won then neither McCain or Obama could be president.”

^IF^ it goes to argument before the SCOTUS, I think a lot of the argument will hinge on the fact that a foreign-born national was placed on the NJ ballot by the SOS. No due diligence is dereliction of duty.

The NJ electors should be stayed until the SOS does her duty - vetting ALL the candidates.

NJ electors not enough for Opossumm to lose, SOS will toss them under the bus and Certifigate will go on.

Thanks, Starwise.

This was the responsibility of the McCain campaign and the Republican Party. They failed miserably in opposition research. The so called compasionate conservatives are nothing but cowards. But the election is over and as Mr. Tyrell wrote in an essay posted earlier, conservatives are once again out in the wilderness. While we are out in the wilderness we need to return to conservative principles and come up with conservative solutions to our national problems.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

I really don’t think McCain can still win. The Dems would have to hold convention to decide for Hillary.

[Born Conservative]

I know you probably don’t, but are there still people that think that McCain still has a chance at becoming president? I sure hope not....

[AliVeritas]

Thanks STAR.

"Lemmme guess, Larry Kudlow “Free market capitalism”?"

Nope.

The parable of the mustard seed:

To me, those that gathered today represent the mustard seed, a beginning. This will grow. We must keep at it.

Big things have small beginnings.

God bless them, each and every one.
They’re standing and praying there
for us all.

Dan Rather in Panic Mode: Move Inauguration to December 1 (Video also)

December 5, 2008 - 11:15 ET

http://newsbusters.org/blogs/scott-whitlock/2008/12/05/dan-rather-argues-bush-not-doing-enough-move-inauguration-dec-1

@@@

Appearing on Friday’s “Morning Joe,” former CBS anchor Dan Rather chided President Bush for not doing enough during his lame duck period and argued for moving Inauguration Day up to December 1.

And although Rather didn’t explain specifically what Bush wasn’t doing enough about (The financial crisis? The terrorist incident in India?), he did hyperbolically fret, “But, we’re in possibly, possibly the biggest crisis we’ve been in since December 7, 1941 and maybe since the time of the Civil War.” (As big a calamity as slavery and the dissolution of the Union?)

Addressing the past practice of inaugurating presidents in March, Rather lobbied “Thank heaven, we now swear them in, new presidents, in January.

I’d be in favor of moving it up to December 1st.” (The former network anchor didn’t explain how he would then deal with situations like the protracted 2000 post-election battle.)

This matter is poetic justice for John McCain. His support of illegal immigration has indirectly resulted in an alien outlaw defeating him and becoming U.S. president.

That needs to be a headline somewhere.

[MHGinTN]

That’s not joking, that’s ridicule. There are several pricks bouncing from thread to thread, wherever the obamanoid’s eligibility is being discussed. [prick = small nettle, an irritant, nothing more.]
