Nearly all of the GOP leadership say Obama's eligibility is a non-issue. Is it even worth pursuing further? If so, in this case, the only stick voters may have is to threaten not to vote in 2012. This situation represents a precedent. It seems that the Constitution will only be invoked when it politically convenient, otherwise it can be ignored. Opinions?
One problem is the courts continually rule that nobody has standing in this issue.
Enlisted men don’t have standing.
Voters don’t have standing.
Even elected federal office holders don’t have standing.
Who, in the court’s opinion, does have standing to bring this issue to court?
The next GOP Nominee.............
“It seems that the Constitution will only be invoked when it politically convenient, otherwise it can be ignored...”
Exactly!
The Constitution has power when honorable men serve in the government. It guides the actions of honorable men, but it cannot force dishonorable men to find their honor.
Donald Trump and Rush are motivating We The People to turn up the heat in DC. This is not a non-issue when a huge percentage of the American people believe a fraud has been perpetrated against us. The truth will be exposed when those involved feel they have to make a deal to save their hides.
The Tea Party must demand that the eligibility issue be investigated and proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. We must find forgery experts willing to prove the truth.
The next GOP Nominee.............
We no longer have law in the land...
ANY law can be violated at will
ask Caliph Obama
He can go to the war of his choice without congressional approval at his will.
Yep, our Caliph in Chief
It’s about the time we let these arrogant SOB’s realize that they are there in DC to do OUR WILL, not THEIRS. Their will does not amount to a spit, but in all their arrogance, they think they know what is better for us than we do. It all goes back to that silly little phrase, WE THE PEOPLE. It doesn’t say “YOU the people” it says “WE the people” it is becoming more of an “us vs. them” all the time. I for one am ready to abolish this entire utterly broken government of ours and start all over again.
If we start sending emails and/or faxes to their offices threatening to vote their asses out in 2012 if they don’t start doing OUR BIDDING in this government, then they better have any up to date resume, perhaps things will change. Politicians are like children (in more ways than one), they respond the best to threats to their welfare (in this case, their phony-baloney jobs).
They are absolutely terrified of this one.
Option 1: Ignore it, pretend it’s not an issue.
Option 2: Demand to see a long form birthcertificate which it appears doesn’t exist. If the long form can’t be produced there are two more options:
Option A: Forgive the lack of documentation, further weakening an already weakend constitution.
Option B: Remove the culprit from office and have at the very least, 13% of the populace go crazy rioting.
Here's a quick primer. If you want to hear Barack Obama actually have to tell the truth, you don't have standing.
“The Tea Party must demand that the eligibility issue be investigated and proven beyond a shadow of a doubt.”
And the sooner the better.
Don't waste your time dreaming of impeachment, congressional Republicans want re-election and wont go near it. They learned last time,.
Did you really suggest that “the only stick voters may have is to threaten not to vote in 2012” ?!
Wow. What a big stick.
That should solve ALL our problems.
I don’t believe there is one judge anywhere that wants to contest and expel the first black president of the United States unless it’s for an extreme infraction . . . period . . . including the Supreme Court.
We’ve been buffaloed. Or as Zero likes to say “I won!”
... unless, of course, you can find a congressman with any onions.
Maybe that’s why Trump is running. He will draw the fire, while the GOP can act like cowards............
Practically speaking, it seems to me that the best way to deal with this right now is to vote Obama out of power.
Simultaneously, take power from the Democrats in both houses of Congress in the same elections.
Then pass legislation dealing with the matter in a way that would require publication of the candidates’ proof of eligibility (for public consumption) before or at the time of announcement of candidacy.
Any other actions pertaining to Obama’s eligibility would be done for the history books.
I don't know, but will guess that a primary opponent who lost to him might.
