“I have worked in a few African countries, and I am yet to see anyone prosecuted for bigamy. I doubt if that charge even exists in the law books of most African countries. In Nigeria for example, one can have as many wives as one wants, all of them legal.
I see very little reason why Obama’s baby daddy would be the least worried about taking his white “wife” home to Kenya”

I know - actually, the next sentence Sailer writes is:
“Granted, polygamy is legal (indeed, is fashionable) in Kenya. But it seems highly unlikely that Obama Sr. would have been in any hurry to open the can of worms that his bigamy entailed while he was still living in America.”

Not to mention that he would have been traveling with, you know, his *other* wife, heavily pregnant to boot. “Oh, honey, here is my other, illegal and bigamous wife - say hello!” Fat chance.

He is a sneaky person.”

Yes he is, and it makes it even harder to fathom why so many sheeple voted for him and worship him.

Just as an aside...I love Wrotnowski’s first name. How often do you see that name?!

There are a total of nineteen lawsuits centered on the eligibility issue. Six have made it to the Supreme Court. One was denied.

Thirty states Secretary of State Offices have joined together questioning the eligibility qualifications of the Democrat Party’s two nominees for the offices they seek. They, the SOSs, plan on ambushing the Electoral College.

Keep on laughing.

Could you re-explain that differently, please. I’m not following.

If Cort’s application is also denied then the fat lady can sing. Until then, the same exact issue is before SCOTUS as was in my case.

But other cases, Keyes for example, go directly to the "not born in the US" question.

IMHO, that is the only question the court will entertain. Natural Born citizen is not defined in the Constitution, so one has to go to colonial/English statue and common law. There citizenship goes with both place of birth and *father's* citizenship. See for example Blackstone (who was read by most of the founding fathers and others of the time as THE authority on English Common Law).

Blackstone also mentions statue law qualifications. I think the only way Barry is going to be DQ'd is for him to have been born in Kenya (or elsewhere outside the US) , and only then because his US Citizen mother did not meet the residency requirements.

I don't know what it is, but B. Hussein is hiding something in his birth records.

This user’s id, “bumsensiesie” is an obscenity in the German language. Perhaps you might encourage them to choose a userid that is respectful of other posters.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

There could have been flights the other way around the world.

Like from Nairobi to Cairo to Bombay to Manila to Honolulu.

A shorter distance.

The fact Thomas and Scalia have distributed it speaks well for the merits.

It does no such thing.

They could just as well be passing it along as a courtesy to another justice who has an interest in certain technical aspects, or just in order to get an internal confirmation of 9-to-0 against it.

We'll never know, but it says ntohing about the merits.

Is that the best you can do? “We” - referring to the movement in general and FR in particular. Again - is the point you are making here really that all conservatives who don’t think Obama was born in Kenya are either fake, trolls or both? Really? If we are going to have a civil war, at least make it over something worthwhile.

Still a mighty long trip. And the western route would have been much more unlikely to “connect”. India was deep third world in those days, and flights in locations like Bombay and Manila far less frequent than going via London.

The electors’ votes will be cast for Obama and Biden, and that means Biden would be sworn in as president if Barack Obama were found unqualified, yes?

No. the Constitution provides separate votes for President and Vice President. See Amendment 12. If no (eligible) candidate gets a votes from a majority of the total number of electors, then the election is thrown into the House (it's happened before, under slightly different rules). They vote, with each state delegation having only one vote, on who should be President, but they may only select from the top 3 (eligible) persons who got electoral votes. If there are no "unfaithful" electors who vote for someone other than Obama or McCain, then they would seem to be required to pick McCain. However I expect that there will be at least one unfaithful elector, and thus at least one other Dem candidate, "just in case". Then the House could pick that person or from among those people (presumably not more than 2 others, since it would be hard to imagine that any of them would exceed McCain's electoral vote count.)

While I don't agree that Sailer the best expert on Obama (I've read most of his book), I agree that the trip to Kenya doesn't make sense. He was poor; her parents weren't wealthy, and Obama senior got his undergrad degree in 3 years at UH. He certainly didn't take any long vacations, and probably took summer courses.

I believe there's something very odd about Obama's parents' relationship -- mainly because there's only one highly-partisan Democrat witness, and no photographic or documentary proof that it ever existed in the early '60's -- but I don't believe the answer is Kenya.

Many people voted for Obama. Others, however, voted against the Republican party. Instead of running in circles, conservatives need to start working on getting these people back.

I might not be following you. My take is that: If the electors vote as instructed by the voters for Obama-Biden, and then Obama is disqualified, we get President Biden.

At most we'd get "acting President Biden". Because that is what the Constitution provides. Only if the President elect dies between the time Congress finalizes the process (Jan. 6?) and inauguration (Jan. 20) does the VP elect become the President.
