Here’s the thing: If SCOTUS decides to take the case, and Obama isn’t natural born, then they’ll have to rule against him. If they didn’t they are the laughing stock of the legal world because it’s so fundamental. It would be a very difficult thing to take this case but it is worthy of their attention. If Obama is declared ineligible, there would be riots and there would be outrage, no doubt. On the other hand, they can refuse to take the case and not have to worry about violent repurcussions. Of course, this shirks their duty to protect the Constitution on the highest level. But this road would be easier for them.

It would be easier for them, yes—and what about the rest of us? Because by giving him a pass they would be telling him and the people that the Constitutional requirements don’t really matter, we don’t know exactly if you were born here or not, but let it go. OK: That’s the first domino down.The rest are to fall, and rapidly. Now, we know that the Constitution has been twisted a lot thru the years, Roe v Wade, the Warren court decisions, but we have managed to struggle along in one piece. Until now. If the Court lets this go, we are finished as a Republic. We will have a republic in name only—People’s Republik of Amerika.

If SCOTUS refuses to take the case, then that would make a Birth Certificate a useless piece of paper for all of us.

I thought it was an important document. I was wrong.
Charm and good looks carries more weight.

I just find it hard to believe that Justice Thomas, Justice Alito, and Chief Justice Roberts would spit on our US Constitution and say, “Let’s give Marxism a try!”
