Yes there will be riots and the nation will survive. If the Constitution is dismantled to prevent riots the nation will not survive.

Excellent point, and very nicely phrased!

Personally, I don't think there would be riots, because I suspect a lot of black people would feel very betrayed and used by Obama. In fact, even a lot of the average white liberals might feel that they had been used. I think it would also put the nail in the coffin of the press, since these were the people who could have asked the questions in time to prevent this from happening.

I'm not talking about the radical loonies of any color, who will of course insist that it doesn't matter, and what's a major lie among friends? But I don't think radical loonies are the majority of his voters: the majority were people who voted either on the basis of color, or because they wanted to be part of the feel-good moment which Obama was portrayed as representing from the very start.

That said, I think this has zero chance of going anywhere. I believe the courts suspect, as any logical person would, that he has something to hide, and they don't want to deal with the consequences. It is definitely a constitutional crisis if he is revealed not to be qualified, and what court wants that? So they will just keep protecting him and preventing him from ever having to reveal it.

I hope you are wrong and that our Constitution will be upheld! I have to trust in the most honorable Justices like Justice Thomas Justice Alito, and Chief Justice Roberts to do exactly that! I just don't want to believe they would not demand that Obama produce the documents necessary to prove he does meet all the constitutional requirements. After all, the burden of proof rests with Obama and no one else!

How is it a constitutional crisis if BHO is revealed not to be qualified? It simply means a scoundrel was caught and the office of President goes to somebody else. How is the Constitution threatened by this?
