If judges are pretending to be stupid, there’s always members of the Tea Party caucus in Congress who could accomplish the same thing by Congressional Subpoena.
I’m sure not every conservative member of Congress is “pretending to be stupid.”
Here’s what a federal judge said in an Obama eligibility challenge:
“There may very well be a legitimate role for the judiciary to interpret whether the natural born citizen requirement has been satisfied in the case of a presidential candidate who has not already won the election and taken office. However, on the day that President Obama took the presidential oath and was sworn in, he became President of the United States. Any removal of him from the presidency must be accomplished through the Constitution’s mechanisms for the removal of a President, either through impeachment or the succession process set forth in the Twenty-Fifth Amendment. Plaintiffs attempt to subvert this grant of power to Congress by convincing the Court that it should disregard the constitutional procedures in place for the removal of a sitting president.
The process for removal of a sitting president— removal for any reason—is within the province of the Congress, not the Courts.” U.S. District Court Judge David O. Carter, Barnett, Keyes, et. al. v Obama, et. al.
Well, there are actually Democrats in congress ... and i'm pretty sure they aren't pretending.
A criminal contempt of Congress citation carries a misdemeanor charge of a fine of not less than $100 nor more than $1000 and imprisonment of not less than one month nor more tham one year.
From the Rules of Congress:
“Every person who having been summoned as a witness by the authority of either House of Congress to give testimony OR TO PRODUCE PAPERS under inquiry upon any matter before either House, or any Joint Committee established by a joint or concurrent resolution of the two Houses of Congress, or any committee of either House, willfully makes default, or who, having appeared, refuses to answer any question pertinent to the inquiry under inquiry, shall be deemed guilty...”
Let’s find a member of Congress who is willing to open an Obama natural horn citzen-eligibility investigation and subpoena Hawaii government officials past and present and also subpoena the original birth certificate for congressional committee inspection.
