The battle lines are being drawn... see my post at http://radiopatriot.blogspot.com/2009/07/we-are-runing-out-of-time.html

[Mr. K]

This is not a ‘CRISIS’ to anyone outside of Washington ‘elites’

THIS IS AMERICA- throw him in jail and let’s move on...

We’ll get over it.

No crises we follow the Constitution very simple and anyone who does not in government gets jailed for high Treason.

crises=crisis

The only thing that has changed since last year is the number of people who are reporting on it.

Did CNN get a call from Rahm to try to shut Lou Dobbs down.

Someone posted the story about how in June Hawaii was requiring people to get their long form if they wanted “special privileges”.
Obviously, the short form isn’t always enough.

And if they could get their long form in June, why can’t Obama.

CNN entrance into this with a concocted story is highly suspicious.

Making our elected officials follow the Constitution does not make a crisis. Allowing someone to assume the presidency on false pretenses aka breaking the damn law, does make a crisis. To the media, it will be a crisis because they made this guy and continue to prop him up.

[GonzoGOP]

There won't be a constitutional crisis. The reason is that the only way this will get action is if Obama becomes such an Albatross around the neck of the Democrats that they decide to use the CLOB issue to get rid of him. And in that case there will be universal agreement. Much like Nixon, the Democrats wanted him gone and the Republicans wanted him gone. No crisis, Obama will be presented with the choice of walking away a rich man or being dragged away in hand cuffs. So he will walk away claiming to be a victim and be paid millions to wright more lame books about himself.

...Obama should have balked during his cam­paign when sup­porters and his cap­tive media com­pared him to the Mes­siah.
Every­body hailed Jesus Christ when he appeared in Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, but less than three days later, they demanded his execution."

"One more starry-eyed messiah
Meets a violent farewell"

Until there is proof that he isn’t eligible, he won’t leave.
Methinks birthers underestimate how badly he, and those supporting him, wants power. They’ll manufacture a crisis to distract from the issue if they have to (which they won’t, as there are plenty of crises building).

The law is the law, and we who honor our Constitution honor the rule of law.

If it is determined by law that Mr. Biden is the rightful POTUS, then so be it. If it is determined that Zero is the rightful President, then so be it.

Why is this so difficult to understand - we don’t get to cherry pick the results, we don’t get to “rig” results to our favor, but we DO get to live under the law. What a great country we have (for now).

[AdamBomb]

I’ll take an American any day over a foreign born president.

[GonzoGOP]

The key is how much those supporting him want power. Postulate this situation. It is 2011 Obama's poll number continue to slide until he is in 2008 GWB territory. The Dems know they are going to get pasted, but Obama won't back down because of his ego. His 97% lock on the black vote means they can't get rid of him in the primaries. They need some get rid of Obama, without having to admit that his socialist adjenda, which they also support, is a failure.

Enter Mt. birth certificate. The Clintonistas can now get rid of Obama with an issue that has absolutely nothing to do with any of his policies, and which is cannot be used against them in the future. Hillary calls in old favors and provides just enough "D" votes that when combined with the GOP make impeachment inevitable. They she appears to be the elder statesperson and tells Obama to do the Nixon or get booted. All the Dems can then claim to have been unwitting victims of Obama's scam, not the conspirators they actually are. The press loves the victim story so gives them a pass. Biden takes over but he is the ultimate lame duck allowing Hillary to step up and save the party.

Far fetched, sure. But so is a Kenyan communist taking over the US and appointing a bunch of unconfirmed apparatchiks to run every aspect of the US economy.

That's the most troubling possibility, especially if 2010 elections don't change the balance in the Congress enough. OTOH, if he is as inept as he appears, additionally burdened by the stigma of his former boss' downfall, the feds may end up practically frozen for couple years, which is probably not all that bad -- the less they meddle into everyone's business the less damage they will cause. Then in 2012, Sarah rides in and cleans up the works.

[Uncle Chip]

This is only a crisis for the elitists in the Washington DC/New York corridor — and they know it. The credibility of these elitists in government and media is falling rapidly.

[circumbendibus]

PING!

[bert]

The real constitutional crisis is the Obama care law. Texas and other states recently going on record as actually having rights under the constitution will reject the law and all the garbage being thrust on them.

Presidents come and go, but this is the biggest event in American history since the Civil War.

[DMZFrank]

We MUST not allow the moral onus of this debate to be inverted. A legitimate and moral president would be MORE than happy to allay his countrymen’s legitimate concerns about the legal basis for his governance and produce ordinary documentation to confirm that legal and constitutional basis, as did Barry Goldwater, George Romney Sr, and John S.McCain. It is he who has caused this crisis, and no amount od pettifogging obsfucation by his acolytes can change that.

But I am certain that Hussein ain’t legitimate. He is all likelihood a lying usurping BASTARD who, were these documents be revealed, expose him for the counterfeit POTUS that he is.

Justice Marshall said that no provision of the constitution is meaningless. The lack of statutory language undergirding the constitution’s Art. II, Sec 1, clause 5 does NOT mean it can’t be enforced. All we need is discovery from ONE court on these documents. At that point, it can be determined as to whether or not recourse to the POLITICAL mechanisms outlined in Art.I Sec 3, and the XX amendment should be resorted to.

Yes, I know that it is currently a Democratic Congress. The American people need to know whether or not that Congress would do it’s duty to the constitution. And by the time this thing blows up, we may have an entirely different Congress and diferent prospects for Hussein.

Interesting.
Call it the “back pocket” theory - in that those who can really make the BC issue happen will just keep it in their back pocket until they need to control/eject BHO.
