Why wasn't Obama in contempt of court?

Diana West risks 'birther' label by analyzing evidence in hearing BHO 'boycotted'

One thing I’ve learned while researching my new, nearly finished book is that both history and news, history’s so-called rough draft, are not written by the “victors” as much as they are censored, twisted and reconfigured by what I can best describe as “the mob.”

I’m not referring to the Mafia. What I’m talking about is a mob-like amalgam of sharp elbows and big mouths who dictate acceptable topics, their narrative flow and an approved range of opinion – the consensus-makers. Defying consensus, breaking what amount to Mafia-like vows of “omerta” – silence – and delving into the verboten, is the worst possible crime of anti-mobness, punishable by eternal hooting and marginalization.

Few transgress. Which explains the news blackout on an extraordinary chain of recent events that took place in and around a Georgia courtroom and pertained to challenges to President Obama’s eligibility to be a presidential candidate in Georgia in 2012. In the end, the president defeated the challenge. He will be on the Georgia primary ballot come March. But therein lies an amazing tale.

Already I can feel the chill hiss of “birther” at the mere mention of these events, all because I haven’t included the mob-requisite catcalls that are “supposed” to go along with such accounts. But there’s nothing to mock here.

Last month, after Administrative Law Judge Michael Malihi denied motions by President Obama’s lawyer Michael Jablonski both to dismiss proceedings against the president and to quash a subpoena, three attorneys made history. For the first time, attorneys were permitted to enter evidence into the court record challenging Barack Obama’s constitutional eligibility to be president.

It just has a wonderful “ring” to it....

Does WND publish anything from people who aren’t pimping conspiracy books?

So the threatening (sarc) “do so at your own peril” the SOS wrote was what...a joke?

The President of the United States doesn’t have to answer to a state court. They can even defy the Supreme Court (Lincoln defied Supreme Court Chief Justice Taney).

Congress does not outrank the President, niether do the courts. On the other hand, The President does not outrank them.

A court ordering the President to do something risks a constitutional crisis, anything could happen.

But if public opinion goes against him to the degree that your friends in Congress can’t back you, out you go, ala Nixon.

.........................................................
Actually I believe the SOS thought that the Judge would make a courageous and correct ruling. I do not believe he thought the Judge would turn chicken and run on the flimsiest of excuses.

We do know now that a subpoena to a Georgia Court is not worth the paper it is written on, if it is sent to a democrat.

Thanks so much for posting this. West has really stuck her neck out. She may not be a “birther”, but she sure doesn’t like the ways, and whys of how birthers have been treated - and she sure is suspicious of Obama, his lawyer - and the hearing. West is much admired in her profession, so this could be a big e**ing deal.

Our judicial system, bought and paid for by Obama and his marxist mob.

Unless Ruth Ginsberg dies soon, it is only going to get worse.

Why wasn’t Clinton found guilty of perjury? (a rhetorical question)

Our laws no longer mean what is written - what it says. Our laws are now what the judges say it is.

Major domo for the ping! I’ve sent the link to the story out to the folks in my address book. One doesn’t have to be a “birther” to look at the shenanigans that have gone down in regard to this case to have their bsmeter9000 peg. Those that aren’t caught up in the mob’s groupthink, that is. . .

Senator Roark: Well, let me tell you a thing or two about power! Power doesn’t come from a badge or a gun. Power comes outta lying and lying big and getting the whole damn world to play along with you. Once you got everybody agreeing with what they know in their hearts ain’t true, you got’ em trapped. You’re the boss. You can turn reality on it’ s head and they’ ll cheer you on. You can make a saint out of a gibbering nut case like my high and mighty brother. You can beat your wife to death with a baseball bat like I did and leave your fingerprints all the hell over it and a dozen witnesses will swear on a stack of bibles you were a thousand miles away.

There’s what, maybe five hundred people in this hospital? Five hundred people and every blessed one of them would hear it if I was to pump you full of bullets. I could be standing here laughing and holding a smoking gun and I wouldn’t even be arrested. I wouldn’t even be arrested. I wouldn’t have to say a word. They’ d cover it up for me, without me even asking them to! Lies. They’d all lie for me. Every one of them who counts. They’d have to. Otherwise all their own lies – everything that runs Sin City – it all comes tumbling down like a pack of cards.
