"The law violated was that he did not show his qualifications."

Quote that law.

"The constitution requires the candidates to be qualified. THAT’S WHAT LAW."

Yes, but he can BE qualified and still not show documentation. So that's NOT the law.

"The sec of state of cal is required to qualify candidates for the state primary. She failed to do so. THAT’S WHAT LAW!"

In fact, as another freeper has shown, the CA Secretary of State is compelled to put the major party candidates on the ballot, with no discretion allowed. So that's not the law either.

You are kidding? I didn’t know that. Compelled, period?

Yes, but he can BE qualified and still not show documentation. So that's NOT the law.

I'd also like to point out that state rules for putting candidates on ballots CAN be slack and in need of fixing, and yet Obama STILL didn't exploit any of those weaknesses.

The mere fact that the opportunity to fool the system might have existed doesn't mean that Obama fooled it, any more than it means Biden or Palin did. We can still work to close those gaps without insisting that Obama needs to produce his parents' marriage records to answer some imagined scandal.

The secretary of state is in charge of the state elections. The primaries are state elections. In Cal she had the responsibility to see that the candidates were qualified. It is the Nov election for which she accepts the candidates that the parties supposedly qualified. A fox and the chicken house process.

I cited these to non-seq and you in the past two weeks on other threads. I am not doing it again. Read 536. I am taking the position of your hero and refusing to provide anything to those who make ridiculous accusations. Do your own home work. I will spend millions to deny answering your question and you will have to obtain a court order to get me to do so. Isn't that the way to play the game?

Your stating that he can be qualified and not prove it, is opening the highest office in the land to fraud. Does the current situation ring a bell?

I hope you are not hiring airline pilots. I have a flight next weekend and I just don't want to take their word that they are qualified. I have more concern for safety and this country than to take some one's word that they are qualified to lead the country and command the military.
