Obama, Rubio Birthers Should Read the Law
The Examiner Washington ^ | 05/24/2012 | Byron York

Posted on 05/30/2012 6:10:45 AM PDT by circumbendibus

Birtherism -- the belief that Barack Obama was born in Kenya, not in the United States -- pretty much died last year when the White House released a copy of the president's long-form birth certificate showing he was born in Honolulu on Aug. 4, 1961. After that, the number of Americans who doubted Obama's place of birth dropped dramatically.

But not to zero. In recent days, there has been a mini-resurgence of birther talk, from Arizona, where the secretary of state questioned Obama's eligibility to be on the ballot, to Iowa, where some Republicans want to require presidential candidates to prove their eligibility for office.

The talk has gone beyond Obama, with some buzz on the Internet suggesting Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, a leading Republican vice presidential contender, is not a natural-born American citizen.

Byron York is supposed to be on our side, but this article just further proves the Washington Media is in the tank for Obama and they do not care about the serious arguments being raised in our courtrooms, such as the hearing today at 1PM EDT in New Jersey regarding the Obama ballot challenge. Patriots Charles Kerchner and Mario Apuzzo have their case at the appeals level, and, one way or another it will be headed to the Supreme Court. Byron York is oblivious to this important case.

The term “Natural Born American” has been changed, because our Founding Fathers made the error in assuming that this term was so obvious, that no definition is required.

Back in 8th Grade Civic’s class, we were told that the term “Natural Born American” meant that we were born to American citizens, on American soil. Pretty straightforward.

50years ago, it meant simply that 1 parent was a US citizen, and you were born on American soil.

Today, an illegal alien who drops a baby on this side of the border - the child is considered a “natural born american” - the distinction between US citizen and “natural born american” has been corrupted completely.

The Elite are very scared. I think the truth will come out, and I think the backlash against the Establishment may be monumental.

It's not the crime, it's the cover-up. All the big shots on both sides of the aisle have been covering for Obama for years, and mocking people who try to find out the truth.

I think the Bastille may be stormed before this is over.

The Supreme Court already rejected the case and the NJ Court of Appeals warned Mario Apuzzo to stop filing frivilous lawsuits. Every decision to date on every birther lawsuit has concluded that Obama IS a natural born citizen.

The only two shots we have is to prove he was born in Kenya (which was part of the NJ suit that failed) and voting the bastard out.

This deeply thought-out analysis by the renowned Constitutional expert Byron York has been previously posted - and all the apologists for linguistic drift have come out of the woodwork to defend the indefensible.

Do we really need to go through tis all again?

If I wanted to, I could prove that I was born in Kenya by using the same technology.

That birth certificate made “layering a document” an mega active verb. For those libs in the audince to whom the concept of a light bulb is quantum physics...there are multiple layers on the supposedly scanned document. Type fonts in those layers don’t match. Transitions are not consistent between layers. Type fonts in some of the layers can only be generated by computer - not typewriters (sound familiar)?

Summary. The document is a fake. Now, the Cretin-in-Chief just may have been born in Hawaii, which would explain why Hawaii just won’t admit it officially. Who would?

Both of his “documents” are fake.

Period.

Anyone thinking otherwise should obviously return to a profession where intellect is not required...such as politics or journalism.

This topic has been brought up in Congress at least ten times in the 21st century. Orin Hatch was one who was trying to do so to get Arnold on the Ballot one day.

There is a youTube video on this that you can search. I’ll try to find it for you, Hodar.

The Diversion Continues.

Even if Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama had been birthed in the Lincoln Bedroom of the White House Obama is NOT a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN.

That’s not the way it is.

All in the beltway too long get this disease of certainty of their convictions. They invent and massage the language needed to make their case then determine, “that’s the way it is”.
As NBC is a constitutional term, it is within the powers of SCOTUS to determine the intended meaning and how it should be applied. Declaring that is not defined in the Constitution does not remove the NBC requirement, nor open it to individual interpretation.
SCOTUS should do its job

I know this is confusing, but you have not been following this subject every day, every hour as I have.

I know about the case you talked about that made it to the Supreme Court led by Kerchner/Apuzzo.

I assure you there is another one, updated here from Mario Apuzzo’s own blog:

Update: I just filed Appellants’ Reply Letter Brief. It can be viewed here:
http://www.scribd.com/puzo1/d/95195368-Purpura-Moran-Reply-Letter-Brief-FILED-5-29-12

Hence, oral arguments on the Purpura and Moran v. Obama appeal to the New Jersey Appellate Division with take place in the open court room as follows:

Place: Superior Court of New Jersey
Appellate Division
Hughes Justice Complex
25 W. Market Street
5th Floor
Trenton, New Jersey 08625-0006

Date: Wednesday, May 30, 2012

Time: 1:00 p.m. (Eastern)

Judges: Hon. Clarkson S. Fisher, Jr., P.J.A.D.; Hon. Linda G. Baxter, J.A.D.; Hon. Philip A. Carchman, J.A.D.

Method: In person argument on the record in open court room (not telephonically).

I hope to see members of the interested public at the oral arguments so that you can learn first hand what the issues and arguments are.

Did you do the radio show yesterday? The archive is empty.

I hope you will do one after your oral argument tomorrow and I hope the court rules soon. Obviously they have some questions for you.

I am optimistic that they really want to hear the case, either way I guess it will move to the US Supreme Ct..

I agree. Last time things got this hot for Obama, he had to "kill" Bin Laden. A full year ahead of schedule. Now he has nothing. The truth cannot be stopped. Obama and the MSM both know it and there is nothing they can do about it.

I thlnk Byron York probably attends the same beltway cocktail parties as George Will and Peggy Noonan.

His vision will never be distorted by what can actually be seen.

If there was a one in a bazillion chance a Republican was not legally qualified for office, the MSM would be on it like a starving junkyard dog going for the last bone...

No passes for us like those given to democrats.

No, it has not. I searched before I posted.

However, there is a similar article in Human Events by Zak last week that argues the same drivel.

I would not be surprised in the least if the authors of these articles took money from the Obama campaign to try to make this issue go away. Let me tell you something, it is not going to go away this time around.

“Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.”

Actually, there was some talk in the media in 2008 questioning John McCain's eligibility based on his having been born in Panama--maybe that was mainly to divert attention from Obama's eligibility.

Obama could have prevented the whole controversy for $10 in 2008--that he spent so much time and money fighting the issue suggests that he has something to hide. It might not be his place of birth but something else that the documents might reveal.

York, Will, and Noonan have been in Washinton too long.

It’s a shame Breitbart died. We need new courageous voices in the media, people in their twenties and thirties who will have to be the leaders in finding solutions to how our Constitutional Republic moves forward in the 21st Century.

Maybe we should demand Term Limits not only for our Congressmen, but also for our Media in Washington
