So the Hawaiian newspaper birth announcements are unacceptable proof of Obama being born in Hawaii, but African newspaper articles are acceptable proof that he was born in Kenya?

Some days ya’ need a program to keep track of the divergent sects of birtherology.

Neither are acceptable in the court of law as neither are managed by the state of Hawaii or the country of Kenya. Clinging to either for an answer is a waste of time and resources as it is purely speculation. The only benefit to reviewing this information is to use it as evidence in any fraud cases which may arise.

The same applies to digital facimiles of birth certificates, certifications, and licenses. Birth records should be easily obtainable in hard copy form from the state issuing those certifications. It only takes a simple certified packet to be shipped from the state to the requesting court.

Regardless, it matters not if Obama is born in Hawaii or not. The Supreme Court must interpret Article II requirements in the context of qualifications. Otherwise all of this conjecture is simply an academic exercise.

What I find continually fascinating is the vehement "birther" opposition who want to ensure this case never makes it to the Supreme Court. This represents true fear that Obama is truly unqualified along with millions of other dual citizens. It is akin to the senators in Wisconsin who abandon their post instead of provide resolution to a problem diplomatically, regardless of outcome.

My question is: "What are you afraid of? Do you not trust the Supreme Court to make a Constitutional decision?"

"What are you afraid of? Do you not trust the Supreme Court to make a Constitutional decision?"

I have said from the very beginning, this issue has only two paths...Supreme Court judgment or impeachment.

No true conservative would want the Supreme Court undoing a presidential election more than halfway through his term. Especially based on information that was well known before the election. And I for one am grateful the courts have so far refused to participate in undoing elections.

The second is impeachment, and based on the very questionable "evidence", it is highly unlikely that Congress will ever take it seriously. Among all the other malfeasance, there was a credible accusation that Clinton was a rapist, but now Chris Mathews sees him as President of the World...an Elder Statesman.

So...not afraid of anything. I'm just tired of so-called conservatives creating the false hope that something magical will happen to either, end Obama's term, or prevent him from running for a second term. His ideas are bankrupt and are what need to be defeated. And more importantly, can be.

Look who keeps talking about it...leftist journalists, a commie Hawaiian Governor and his unreliable Hollywood reporter buddy, self-appointed corrupt Hawaiian official and document fraud detective Polarik (not to mention relationship advice guru for $2. a minute.) and now Birther King, Internet PowerHouse, Republican presidential nominee hopeful Andy Martin. Ever wonder why the birther movement attracts so many leftists, frauds and charlatans...and yet not a peep from the Heritage Foundation or Landmark Legal?
