Your both missing the point that the Court can also order a BC to be opened.....Uhhh I think the SCOTUS would have the power to do that.
This conversation grew out of WND’s mistaken statement that Gov Lingle sealed Obie’s BC.
The SCOTUS does not need to order Obama’s birth certificate to be opened to make a decision. Going on what Obama has professed himself, he was born in Hawaii. Great! That means he is a US citizen. But Obama also has professed that his father was from Kenya. Great. Means his daddy was not a US citizen. Obama has also professed that he was a British subject at birth since his father was from Kenya. The birth certificate under seal can stay there. Obama is not a “natural born” citizen because his father was not a US citizen.
The supremacy clause would trump any state laws.
Also, and this is KEY:
Obama decided to run. No one forced him. It has been held since even before the Constitution was ratified that TO HOLD A PUBLIC OFFICE IS A PRIVILEGE!
NOT A RIGHT!
Obama loses his “right to privacy”, at least as far as matters that pertain to his eligibility by even running for the office.
