‘It’d be ironic, if he were kept off the GA ballot, to see Team Obama running to SCOTUS to determine his eligibility.’
Election is a state matter. If GA determines obama not elig., supreme court has no say.
However, Congress has the authority and duty to determine once and for all what article 2 natural born citizen is. But we all know they refuse to do it. Supreme court also ‘gave it a pass’ (Clarence Thomas hinted this. None of the cases was heard). So they are passing the bucks, and We the people have no standing, no voice...
I’d like to see obama take it to the supreme court! Let him tell the court that he did not know what he was doing when ‘resolving’ in his ‘resolution 511’ that McCain is a nbc because he was born to 2 US citizen parentS! (And that he himself, born to a Brit citizen father, is also a nbc!)
(unless he can convince the supremes to rule that anyone born to 1 US citizen parent is an nbc, disregarding dual citizenship and divided loyalty.)
The states can determine how one gets on the ballot, but can a state administrative agency (this isn’t an Article III court) determine what ‘natural born Citizen’ meant to the Framers? It seems this judge can just require that BHO produce a certified US birth certificate, without getting into the NBC question, and he’s on the ballot.
