This must be a case in point to demonstrate why this country is in the mess it’s in.

The Constitution *IS* the Law. *EVERYONE* is required to obey it, including the functionaries of the States that ratified it.

My wife and I have been through the international adoption process. The laws, however nebulously or poorly written, of each country were enforced BEYOND THE LETTER, “just to be sure”, by *ALL* participating functionaries, agencies, and litigants.

The court in the nation in which the adoption took place examined every document, and investigated all claims, fastidiously.

U.S. Immigration, through their satellite office here in my State and through their consular office in that foreign country, were so meticulous about the enforcemtnt of every regulation that I had to take one of the children out for a new immigration photo, the day before we were scheduled to return to the States, because a frond of hair was obscuring one small part of her ear!!!

At the airport, before our departure, we were taken out of the check-in line to wait an extra half hour while the police examined our adoption papers and the children’s emigration and immigration papers.

Upon landing in the States, we had to wait an extra hour while the U.S. immigration reviewed our case and examined every detail of the adoption and immigration papers.

If government functinaries can be that fastidious about assuring that adoption, emigration and immigration papers comply with the laws and regulations, however unclear and general they may be, certainly the papers submitted by a candidate for President of the United States should be subject to the same kind of due diligence to assure that they are in compliance with the law.

Any state or functionary that refuses to faithfully discharge this responsibility vis-a-vis the papers filed by a candidate for POTUS, is in VIOLATION of Article II Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution.

What am I missing here?

I have three loves in my life. My God, my family and my country. I am not of high education. I know my passions and loves and fears.
I have been on this planet for 54 years and enjoyed almost every moment. I try to think, why I am so frightened these days?
My God and family are constant. Where has my country gone?
I have witnessed the slow drain of patriotism, and it has been a trickle effect. Slowly starting in our schools. Then to our media. Which should always be asking. But what questions have they asked? Did they ask; “Are we noble enough to interfere with the affairs of others?” “What right do WE have to impose our beliefs in democray and free thought?”
My cousins whom did not ask, were taken to Viet Nam. Servered honorably and were SPIT upon in Philadelphia airport when they returned.
I was in a diner in NJ when the news report said that an assassination attempt had stated that Reagen (forgive me) had been shot, but had survived. I could overhear people saying, loudly, “It’s a damn shame he survived!”.
September 11th 2001. AMERICA HAS SUSTAINED HER MOST DEVISTATING AND COWARDLY ATTACK! We were ONE!
Umm, Almost. At least for a few months we were. Bipartisan bickering reared it’s ugly head once more. I thought that we had learned our leasons?
The Bush hatred grows and grows.
Republicans are booted out of office. {and justly so}
Now with the RATS in office they can side step the constitution.
Now it seems we have an ALIEN resident as our president.
Please forgive me my rant, but what happened to the rule of the people? What happened to MAJORITY rules? What happened to love of country?
Why do I turn on Nickelodeon for kids and hear some teen scream “I HATE AMERICA!”?
