And Kerry is as much beloved as John McCain is... I swear, the more they work at it, the more idiotic they appear.
It’s important to set goals.
“And Kerry is as much beloved as John McCain is... “
Perhaps not so beloved as was McCain Kingu. It was the Democrats, including Kerry, who initiated and sponsored the two Senate actions, Senate Bill 2678 and Senate Resolution 511 during the Spring of 2008 to create the talking points for the media, and to mislead the uninformed about the ineligibility of McCain. Why would they do this? Because it shut up those few Republicans who might be tempted to question Obama’s eligibility, since McCain needed an interpretation by the Supreme Court to take office.
Senate Bill 2678, February 17 2008, sponsored by Obama and his campaign co-chair Claire McCaskill, the “Foreign-born Children of Military Citizens Natural Born Citizen Act.” It FAILED to pass. Both Senate rules and legal precedent would have prevented Obama and McCaskill from submitting a moot bill. If they didn’t have cause to believe their legal case had merit they wouldn’t have submitted it to the Senate for a change in the law.
Senate Resolution 511, the “Senator John S. McCain Natural Born Citizen Resolution”, included legal misdirection by Harvard Law Professor and Obama’s Harvard adviser, Larry Tribe, whose plagiarism charges were squashed by Elena Kagan before she was appointed to the supreme court, and Ted Olsen, another lying former Solicitor General.
In the Senate hearings you can read the testimony from former judge and DHS Chair, Michael Chertoff: Chertoff: “My assumption and my understanding is that if you are born of American parents, you are naturally a natural-born American citizen,” “That is mine, too,” said Leahy.” McCain’s problem was not that his parents weren’t citizens when he was born; they were. The Canal Zone was not deemed sovereign U.S. Territory until 1937, the year after McCain was born. There should be an amendment or reinterpretation to amend Article II Section 1 to include children of military citizens on assignment, but it has never happened, and wouldn’t have while Obama, whose parents were not both citizens when he was born, was a candidate. Note, that is just the bill submitted by Obama and McCaskill that didn’t pass in 2008; a law cannot affect Constitutional interpretation, a fact almost certainly familiar to every Congressperson.
Democrats have been supporters of McCain for decades because he can always be counted upon to help them. Now they and the Jeb Bush Republicans can use McCain to attack Trump. McCain has violated his oath as a navy officer to preserve and defend the Constitution. He is no hero.
