Surely you don’t think that any Freeper is going to blow up the White House!

Each of those Justices takes an oath to uphold the Constitution. It’s debatable whether some have ignored that oath.

With all the mystery surrounding Obama, some Americans may reject him as our President without a determination that he is indeed a natural citizen. But that rejection doesn’t mean very much in the big picture. It’s not as if we can ignore the bills and orders he’ll sign into law.

I wish Obama would just produce his damn birth certificate. But if he doesn’t, I think the Supreme Court has a Constitutional duty to rule on whether he is qualified to hold office. But I also think the Justices won’t touch this political hot potato.

Since there is no precedent on this question, because every viable presidential candidate in history has been honest enough to either present proof of natural born citizenship or has been so famous as to his birthplace that none need be produced.

This is the first time in our history that this has become an issue. There is no mechanism in place to flesh this out. All the presidential candidates have been honest enough to bow out if they are not eligible. Not this one. He wants this at all costs. The USSC will not touch this, because they are terrified of touching off a nationwide riot, even if the Constitution is usurped. The only avenue I can see is the various Secretaries of State to qualify or disqualify this monster from becoming president and unleashing his Marxism on us, basically unchecked.
