PING.

It is very important to determine if this is real. It may be a setup: watch the right get all wound up about Obama’s law school examinations, only to find out they are fake.

Anyone good at doing verification?

Secondly, if they are real they show the horror that is law school, and the lawyerly view of the Constitution.

I have a good friend who is a lawyer and it took ten years of conversation and me asking questions like “exactly what part of the Constitution authorizes FedGov to give $20 billion to Africa to treat AIDS” for him to reluctantly admit that lawyers don’t know much about the Constitution.

(He’s a tax lawyer, and knows everything about tax law, however.)

I know it sounds strange, but for the purpose of representing clients as a lawyer, knowing the actual document is secondary to knowing what the judges say about the document. It is, after all, the judges that you need to convince, not the founding fathers in their graves.

Some of us that know the Constitution recognize that while the federal government does things it is not authorized to do, we have very little remedy outside the political realm. Just like the birth certificate issue unfortunately.

I was not one who thought the "natural born citizen" requirement was a political question, but many "scholars" were of that opinion.

Our Founders set up an amazing system of government, but in the end our nation is only as good as its people.

Arrogance, corruption, and the need for power have lead to the unmitigated disregard for the duty to uphold the Constitution by recognizing the limitation on governmental power.
