At this point the only value in coming forward with evidence at all is to 1) help the public realize how untrustworthy Obama and all his enablers are; and 2) to get a criminal investigation of the crimes committed by Obama and his enablers.

SCOTUS is evading this issue. Period. We’re not going to get justice out of them. My theory is that Soros has told them he will collapse the world economy if they make a right decision. Seems like the retired military folks who provided Lakin with counsel who is just going to drop the eligibility issue rather than get a bad precedent from compromised judges might possibly be thinking the same kind of thing. Obviously they don’t think that either the military or the civilian appeals process can be trusted to give a right decision on eligibility, and they must have a reason to think that.

Justice Thomas himself has said that they are “evading” the eligibility issue. Nothing for a conservative justice to boast about so he must have had a different reason for bringing up the issue in the context of discussing Sotomayor.

So in a very real way Lakin’s brother could choose not to publicly disclose any evidence he has because he doesn’t want to “throw pearls before swine”, choosing to save it for a prosecuting attorney to use instead.

And yet after two plus years, no one has come forward with anything.

Perhaps, just perhaps, there is nothing for anyone to bring forward?

Clarence Thomas: We’re \”Evading\” Eligibility Issues

*snip*

The comments came as part of Thomas’ testimony before a House appropriations panel discussing an increase in the Supreme Court’s budget earlier this week.

Subcommittee Chairman Rep. Jose Serrano, D-N.Y., actually raised the question first amid a discussion on racial diversity in the judiciary.

“I’m still waiting for the [court decision] on whether or not a Puerto Rican can run for president of the United States,” said Serrano, who was born in the island territory. “That’s another issue.”

Yet after Serrano questioned him on whether or not the land’s highest court would be well-served by a justice who had never been a judge, Thomas not only answered in the affirmative, but also hinted that Serrano would be better off seeking a seat in the Supreme Court than a chair in the Oval Office.

“I’m glad to hear that you don’t think there has to be a judge on the Court,” said Serrano, “because I’m not a judge; I’ve never been a judge.”

“And you don’t have to be born in the United States,” said Thomas, referring to the Constitution, which requires the president to be a natural-born citizen but has no such clause for a Supreme Court justice, “so you never have to answer that question.”

“Oh really?” asked Serrano. “So you haven’t answered the one about whether I can serve as president, but you answer this one?”

“We’re evading that one,” answered Thomas, referring to questions of presidential eligibility and prompting laughter in the chamber. “We’re giving you another option.”
