[snip]...Jablonski remained true to his word -- neither he nor Obama showed up for the January 26 hearing. I noted last week that Obama was not scheduled to be anywhere near Atlanta on the date of the hearing, although I had wondered if still, perhaps, Georgia might be on his mind. According to reports in the blogosphere, the president's schedule on the morning of the 26th was open, and according to an unnamed source, Obama watched the live feed of the hearings.
Perhaps Obama, as well as the several mainstream media news outlets I spotted at the hearing, were merely watching in hopes that the "crazy birthers" would really do something...well, crazy. Or unlawful. In fact, though, it was the president himself and his defense team who were the ones defying the rule of law.
The mainstream media, in lockstep with Obama, reported nothing of the events, in a stunning blackout on a truly historic hearing -- one that discussed the eligibility of a sitting president to run for a second term. And more troubling was the fact that the media failed to acknowledge the even more sensational news -- that the president and his defense attorney snubbed an official subpoena.
Today, Attorney Van Irion, on behalf of his client, Georgia resident David Welden, filed a "Motion for Finding of Contempt" with Judge Malihi...

Wow.
That's right. Any form of citizenship that is provided for via statute enacted by men can be revoked or bestowed as the laws change. There is one type of citizenship however, that cannot be bestowed or revoked by statute, and that is natural born citizenship: A person born on US soil to parentS who are themselves citizens. They are citizens by virtue of Natural Law and such their citizenship status cannot be created or nullified by any legal contrivance of man. They just are.
In the words of Minor vs Happersett: If the intent (and it absolutely was) of the founders was to attempt to the greatest degree possible to mitigate the potential for divided loyalties in the person to be entrusted with the presidential levers of power, then a person with no presumed potential for divided loyalties at all by virtue of the US citizenship of both parents is obviously and logically to be superior in regard to natural born citizenship status than someone who has one or more parents holding foreign allegiance, no matter where the presumed citizen (there are doubts about these kind, according to Minor) is born.
Logic Fail- Ping. (Apologies to anyone I missed, and to anyone peeved that I Pinged them unsolicited. I just thought it funny that this hadn't been addressed more thoroughly)

How can this even be happening? How can there be not one whistleblower at any of the media centers? Not one word.
How bad could it get? Could Obama slaughter kittens on video and still have no mention? Is there any negative thing he could do that would get a mention in the mainstream media?
Should’ve deleted “In the words of Minor vs Happersett”. Editing error. :(
Kansas58: What he said. So much better than I.
From Irion’s keyboard to God’s Inbox.
The Social Security card looks like it was signed by a child. Probably when she got her first job.
“Congress defined citizenship.”
Congress has Constitutional authority to define the naturalization process. The Constitution, through the 14th Amendment, defines a citizen of the US.
A Natural born citizen must be native born and cannot be required to swear an Oath of Allegiance because allegiance is a natural or implied without reservation. Not all native born persons are Natural born citizens because some are born with dual allegiance or their allegiance to the US requires an affirmation before doubts are resolved.
Obama’s campaign made a big deal of Obama’s Kenyan citizenship obtained in 1963 expiring because he did nothing about it. In fact, Obama should have affirmatively renounced his Kenyan citizenship at the age of majority to secure his allegiance to the US.

That is an ideal scenario.
