I got an instant chuckle out of the squelching the Kenyan Ambassador got as soon as he stated that ‘Barack was born in Kenya, no doubt about it.’ With Raila in Kenya having an army of murderous thugs awaiting orders from him, the Ambassador must have dreaded to even accept a ‘recall’ to home.
Equity was originally understood as an extraordinary means of offering relief to individuals in cases of fraud, accident, mistake, or trust and as a means of "confining the operation of unjust and partial laws." It has now been stretched to offer relief to broadly defined social classes.As it says in the Constition:
The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, ... to Controversies between two or more States; between a State and Citizens of another State; between Citizens of different States ...
And what is the fraud? Why...
Section 53. Actual FraudWhile it is not clear what the actual facts of Obama's birth are at this point, one thing seems clear, imo -- he acted with deceit. Politics allows a wide latitude in "just political talk" as Obama calls it. Did Obama's deceit go out of bounds of the wide field of political speech? There's the question!A complete definition of actual fraud is impossible. The ingenuity of man in devising methods of obtaining an unfair advantage over his fellow man is so resourceful and varied as to defeat any attempt to cover the whole field by a single definition. In general, in every case of actual fraud, there must be present those elements required in the tort action for deceit.
