Why Was Sarah Herlihy Worrying About Article II?

Contrairimairi has forwarded a post from Insight Analytical concerning Sarah Herlihy's article that was also discussed in the blog Count us Out. Someone had forwarded Herlihy's article to me and I blogged it on November 29. Herlihy works for the law firm of Kirkland and Ellis out of their Chicago office. The kicker is that Herlihy's article was published in the Kent Law review in 2006 and, notes Count us Out Blogger Creative Ogre:

"While digging my way through the Internet last night, I came across the following paper, written by SARAH P. HERLIHY. It’s title: AMENDING THE NATURAL BORN CITIZEN REQUIREMENT: GLOBALIZATION AS THE IMPETUS AND THE OBSTACLE caught my eye, and had to read it…

"I had to ask myself, what would drive any American to want to change a clause in a document that is the very foundation of our government? So, I kept digging, and found that SARAH P. HERLIHY is employed by Kirkland & Ellis LLP

"Noting that this law firm is based in Chicago, the light bulb was shining a little brighter . Upon looking at the firm, and the partners, I found that Bruce I. Ettelson, P.C., is Member of finance committees of U.S. Senators Barack Obama and Richard Durbin.

"In addition, Jack S. Levin, P.C., another partner who, in December 2002 was presented the ” Illinois Venture Capital As sociation’s lifetime achievement award for service to the private equity/venture capital community” presented by Sen. Barack Obama

"So it sure looks like Obama’s people have looked into the matter of “Natural born” as far back as early 2006. What is even more disturbing is that it would appear that they are following the thought of "If the facts do not support the theory, Destroy the facts!”

Here is the introduction to the paper… It looks like a road map for Obama’s defense lawyers…And a precursor to a Socialist world."

An idea whose time has come (the need to amend the natural born citizen requirement).

The Kent Law Review and Kent University have a track record of being influenced by outside parties. In 2000, Kent University held a symposium on the Second Amendment, and the results published in the Kent Law Review. The articles in the Kent Law Review were uniformly supportive of only one (the so-called collective rights model) of two competing theories on the meaning of the Second Amendment. Later it was found that the liberal Joyce Foundation funded the symposium and the speakers (reportedly $84,000), in essence paying money to advance what can be construed as single point-of-view advocacy in the guise of legal scholarship in support of the foundation’s gun control agenda in a manner suitable for citation in court cases. A member of the Board of Directors of the Joyce Foundation at the time (1994-2002) was Barack Obama.

“With generous support from the Joyce Foundation, the Chicago-Kent Law Review sponsored this Symposium to take a fresh look at the Second Amendment and, particularly, the collective right theory. This is not, therefore, a balanced symposium. No effort was made to include the individual right point of view. Full and robust public debate is not always best served by having all viewpoints represented in every symposium.[106] Sometimes one point of view requires greater illumination.” (Carl T. Bogus, “The History And Politics Of Second Amendment Scholarship: A Primer,” Chicago-Kent Law Review, Vol. 76, 2000: 3)

Barry started planning for this with Bill Ayers when they wrote that crappy book in the early/mid 90s.

This is ironic because the first time I heard about this during the primaries was from HILLARY SUPPORTERS!

It tells me that this issue is not a right wing conspiracy and any suggestion that it is, is dishonest at best.
