Nah. I have a little more confidence in Justices Alito, Scalia, Thomas, Chief Justice Roberts and Leo Donofrio.
The Legislative and Executive (to be) Branches are abusing the electorate and citizenry on this issue. Our only recourse is the Judical Branch to stop the abuse.
The Framers of the Constitution were very concerned about someone like Obama with possible divided loyalties, etc. If Leo gets his day in court he will argue that passionately. Follow what the Framers wrote in the Constitution or it is meaningless.
Frantzie, you’re a fairly recent signup, and give the impression of being in close communication with Leo Donofrio. What is your relationship with him?
Also, several of us have not forgotten that strange “Leo’s being threatened with assassination by Islamic terrorists and is in hiding” thing. What the heck was that all about, since you posted one of the two threads making that claim?
I do wish that you are right.
But I know better.
You have only ticked off four of the NINE Justices. Even if this case does go to trial (or whatever it is called), it will lose.
The potential Constitutional crisis this would cause if Leo won would be FAR worse that what happened in the 2001 election.
If Leo won just what would happen? Biden? McCain? someone else??
If the winner is anyone but The One, I can’t even imagine what might happen. Yeah... if race riots broke out it would prove just what kind of people those rioting are. But that doesn’t mean they wouldn’t riot.
It would be very similar to the situation with Islam, where some moderates call for calm... but the radicals still riot.
And if, by some miracle, they don’t riot, there would be more calls of “they stole the election” for ever. Republicans would be seen as evil.
Never mind the fact that when Obama is sworn in that he will have stolen this election. Only the far right will be screaming about it. Look how little play this is getting in any media, including talk radio. Almost nada.
And when you come down to it, except for possibly appointing some new Justices, there isn’t THAT much difference between McCain and Obama. Both will grant amnesty to illegals. Obama isn’t going to pull out of Iraq early like he lied. Yeah, I voted for McCain, but I don’t think that much will be different. With a Dem controlled Congress, there isn’t much McCain could do in the end.
So I think the whole thing is a waste of time.
Except it IS great fun to watch! :)
