Also 'discriminates, outdated, undemocratic and assumes birthplace a proxy for loyalty'

An associate lawyer in a Chicago-based firm whose partner served on a finance committee for then-Sen. Barack Obama has advocated for the elimination of the U.S. Constitution's requirement that a president be a "natural-born" citizen, calling the requirement "stupid" and asserting it discriminates, is outdated and undemocratic.
The paper was written in 2006 by Sarah Herlihy, just two years after Obama had won a landslide election in Illinois to the U.S. Senate. Herlihy is listed as an associate at the Chicago firm of Kirkland & Ellis. A partner in the same firm, Bruce I. Ettelson, cites his membership on the finance committees for both Obama and Sen. Richard Durbin on the corporate website.

Total disregard for our founding and governing documents. Obama and his supporters are lawless.
Gosh, do ya think there is a connection?
here they go... trying to lower the bar. trying to tear the constitution apart so they can have Generalissimo Obama ascend to power.

I am more and more convinced that 0bama is not a natural born citizen. And his people know it. This is just one more proof that they’ve been working for years to convince us that it doesn’t matter.
It’s a living document!
As true Americans we need to keep the bar where our Founding Fathers placed it...
If her firn stands to profit from his presidency and she knew about this and encouraged him to have a go anyway, I’d say we have a case of racketeering here.
That’s gotta be the....
... most stupidest thing I’ve ever read.
Yep. Just like that stupid second amendment. And freedom of speech...silly. We all know that you can’t REALLY say anything you want. I can’t yell “fire” in a crowded theater, right?
Sheesh, we gotta take the constitution with a grain of salt. it’s a living breathing document. We can’t take it TOO seriously, now can we? It doesn’t matter if obama isn’t american. He’s black, and that’s more important. Besides, he won. And that means he’s what the people want. Let the people have what they want.
Say what you will about, but it’s not undemocratic (as if that’s a bad thing). Stop calling things undemocratic.
Any number of the 300 million or so people born here can run. That’s democratic enough. We don’t need to incorporate the other 6 billion people on earth.
It’s so unbelievable that there are so many accessories to this crime of fraud. My God.
A lot of Obamacorns like this dumbass bimbo have been attacking the “natural born” requirement lately. It’s starting to make me think that their “messiah” actually may have been born in Kenya. Why else would they concern themselves with the requirement?
I guess the “right to bear arms” is stupid and racist too.
You got it. And the arrogance they display in just gliding by knowing they’ll get away with it with their media handmaidens. So many accessories to this crime of coverup. Makes them all criminals.
LOL !
Kinda like when Osama Bin Laden became Usama Bin Ladin over seven years ago!
