The eligibility case Obama wants no one to hear

Sec. 64. But what reason can hence advance this care of the parents due to their off-spring into an absolute arbitrary dominion of the father, whose power reaches no farther, than by such a discipline, as he finds most effectual, to give such strength and health to their bodies, such vigour and rectitude to their minds, as may best fit his children to be most useful to themselves and others; and, if it be necessary to his condition, to make them work, when they are able, for their own subsistence. But in this power the mother too has her share with the father. ( John Locke, Second Treatise, Chapter VI)

On matters arising under the Constitution of the United States, the Federal courts have the power and duty to examine and decide issues of law (including the natural law) where such decisions are essential to achieving the goals set forth by the people in the Preamble to the Constitution. It was reasonable to expect that once the issue of Obama’s eligibility was brought before them, members of the Federal Judiciary, who have a sworn duty to uphold the Constitution, would examine the very real issues involved in this case and offer an opinion. That they have refused, and are still refusing to do so is dereliction of such magnitude that it threatens the very core of their authority- which lies ultimately in the respect the people owe and extend to them on account of the integrity of their faithful adherence to the Constitution from which their authority is derived.

For his part, instead of spending large sums of money to argue that citizens have no right to seek enforcement of the clear provisions of the U.S. Constitution, Obama would released his records and sought and opportunity to resolve the issue on the merits. Based on his alleged knowledge of the Constitution he would have instructed his lawyers to make the very reasonable argument, based solidly on the understanding of political principle that prevailed at the time the Constitution was framed: He is a natural born citizen on account of a fact that is not in dispute: the American citizen status of his mother.

And therein lies the crux of the matter. Obama does not want transparency. Obama obstructs the process. Obama disparages the process and anyone seeking transparency.

Does this make Alan Keyes a racist??

I was told all opposition to Duh Leader was based on racism.

I just hope this black on black racism doesn't get out of hand.

Hey Alan, Obama wants you to “tone” it down a bit.

Americans are basically without a backbone.

They rationalize it as respect for process and legitimate citizen behavior. "Wait for Election Day." Yeah, and when that doesn't do any good, it's "Just you wait! 2012 is coming!"

It's no longer a fair fight against the govt, and the one who fights fair against a rule breaker, loses.

No different than respecting the law about a gun-free zone. The criminal does NOT respect it, and has the advantage. The law-abiding citizen loses. In full daylight he's been cheated out his liberty for years, and will lie there, unhampered by a spine, in the moral cocoon of his good citizenship. What does it mean to be a good citizen of an evil state?
