I received a letter from our former RINO senator Mel Martinez in response to my complaints about Hussein’s lack of eligibility. Martinez answered in a convoluted way that the voters “vetted” Obama during the election by selecting him in full knowledge of what his credentials were and weren’t.

After regaining control of my temper, which was a hard thing to do with Martinez, I realized what he was really saying: that the election of the dubiously eligible Obama was the electoral equivalent of jury nullification. The citizenry has spoken and that’s that.

When a jury tosses the evidence out the window and acquits a killer because they like him or sympathize with his situation, everybody hollers and bitches but nothing can be done about it. There is such a principle as jury nullification: the direct voice of a panel of citizens supercedes the law. I think the government is taking that sort of view of Obama. Some are just to cowardly to deal with it and others - like SCOTUS, I’m afraid - are taking the position that the people have spoken so let them have him.

The problem is because of the Democratic party, the Republican party, the judiciary, and the media, the voters did not have full knowledge of his credentials.
