I just received a call from Orly Taitz, my attorney in the case seeking proof of Obama's eligibility for the Office of President of the United States. Judge Carter has released a statement declaring that the dates he set for the hearing and trial on the eligibility issue are confirmed, and it will move forward as scheduled. Apparently he was not swayed by the Obama lawyer's arguments.
Vattel and Blackstone were the basis of the legal education for those who WROTE the Constitution. ALL of them. They DEFINED the terms used in the document. McCain is as eligible as anyone who ever ran for the office.
Because the election (involving hundreds of offices and thousands of candidates) was not fraudulent. An ineligible candidate does not make an entire election fraudulent. There is no use of such a term within the Constitution which calls for an election every four yrs. There is no provision for a do-over. People are not reading the constitution and are allowing their fantasies to take charge.
I hope so - it will take many to make those in power understand the “We the people ...........”.
I believe in the Constitution - I do not see how it can be interpreted any other way. But agree this situation is almost a first. Chester Arthur came close.
Well I believe she is right and if she is not winning then she needs other lawyers and the rest of us to help her.
So you are implying that the President is above the law, or the fight is too difficult.
I do not buy into we deserve this so have to suffer the consequences.
There is no claim by or expectation from me that Joe would be a successful or popular president or would not damage the Democrats should he succeed Urkle. But there is a constitutional method whereby this dilemna would be solved and the American people have nothing to say about it unless it amends the Constitution to allow special elections. While that is not impossible I see no activity pushing for such a thing.
Under our constitution as it stands Congress will have the final say on what happens and the Democrats happen to control it. While there is some debate about this it appears to me that the XX amendment governs.
He'll rule when he rules. And then it'll get interesting watching the Birther community explain it all away.
Entertainment is a natural occurrence. It's what happens when you sit back and watch people make fools out of themselves.
Your post is almost all incorrect. There is NO way Bush would ever be president again for starters.
Fraud does not equal “treason” either.
He held a hearing on Monday and allowed both sided to make their case through oral arguments. If at the end he'd pulled out his ruling and issued it then it would make the whole process seem like a waste. Having heard what everyone has to say it's only right that he take time to craft his response. You have to give Judge Carter credit. Whatever his final decision is, it's clear he's not taken the case lightly and has done everything he could to ensure he has all the information he needs to issue a fair ruling.
His term ended at noon. At that moment he dropped out of the line of succession.
Those who were here 14 yrs prior to the ratification were also eligible to be president though not natural born as per
Article II, Section 4. Of course, that window of exception has closed.
Those pushing this absurd view are doing great damage to the case against Urkle knowingly or not is unclear. There are so many lies and mistatements such as this that most people are discouraged from even looking into this matter.
"[W]here there is no law, there is no liberty; and nothing deserves the name of law but that which is certain and universal in its operation upon all the members of the community." --Benjamin Rush, letter to David Ramsay, 1788
And I would not disagree with that a bit. But what we have here is a loophole in the law that Obama has driven his truck through. The solution is to close that loophole and not ignore the law in our haste to get to the malefactor.
If you can call an entire political and legal class ignoring their oaths to uphold and defend the Constitution a “loophole,” well, okay.
How are they not upholding the Constitution. The Constituton says that the President must be a natural-born citizen. Obama says he was born in Hawaii and so therefore he is qualified. What else are you expecting?
It is totally wasting of time and none productive to dialog with the usurper’s leaches which only goal is distraction from the Constitutional eligibility. I am not taking his bait on 769!!!
Proof. Duh. Obama is a well-known liar.
