I'm wondering about the flurry of various "Kenyan COLBs" posted on the Internet right after Orly Taitz said she had secured the real thing, juxaposed with reports of some "authorities" saying the Article II sec. 1 natural-born citizen requirement is "unfair" and "undemocratic" and should be abolished. There are legal implications, but political ones also. What if BO is proven to have been Kenyan-born as well as have a Kenyan father? What if this issue gets to SCOTUS and is heard? What if BO is therefore ruled ineligible (legally, Constitutionally)? How will the electorate receive this news?

I am not in fear of riots. I just wonder how this would compare with Watergate/Nixon's resignation in 1974 and the Bush v. Gore ruling in 2000. I believe with each generation the American people become more polarized and "brittle." People were upset about Nixon but "the system worked" and the government continued. So with the 2000 election. But I wonder if there is a sense of bitterness and disenchantment that has never been purged from our nation's collective consciousness and what will be done about that. BO has done nothing at all to heal it; he has only made it worse.

It's late at night and it's hard for me to get my thoughts organized; please forgive my rambling. But I wonder -- given a Constitutional outcome to this mess -- how the electorate will receive the news.

I think all but the hard left and a large majority of blacks will turn on ostammer like a dime if it is proven true that he’s foreign-born.

You weren’t rambling. I found your post interesting.

I have absolutely no idea what in the heck you just said.
