For people who don’t like and don’t care what the US Constitution says, it doesn’t matter whether or not Barack Obama meets eligibility requirements for the office he currently holds. Obots, who regard the Constitution as an outdated useless piece of paper that should be burned, and our republic as nothing more than a democracy of mob rule by iron fist, see Obama’s eligibility as a laughing matter.
New York Times blogger (and deconstructionist professor of law) Stanley Fish writes - Why Bother With the Constitution? In it, he quotes from a book titled The Living Constitution,” by David A. Strauss which states—“the Constitution does not play a central role in constitutional interpretation.”
A deeper understanding of the useful idiot’s interpretation of the Constitution is found in Strauss’ book;
“In the majority of instances, Strauss argues, “the text of the Constitution will play, at most, a ceremonial role.” Even “when a case involves the Constitution, the text routinely gets no attention,” for “on a day-to-day basis, American constitutional law is about precedents, and when precedents leave off, it is about commonsense notions of fairness and good policy.”

These bastards don’t even try any more to hide their contempt for the We The People Constitutional Republic. Scum, pure commie oozing scum.
Barry O. tried to pass of something that was inconsistent with what the rest of have and know to be a “Birth Certificate”.
The so called COLB has many flaws with it:
The best part and even more confusing is why he didn't release any of the three Birth Certificates we know already existed before 2007.
Those were most certainly BC’s and not a COLB. There is no reason to create confusion but, for the fact he is hiding something. That something will be discovered, though and this is a long process. “I discovered this article, folded away among my birth certificate and old vaccination forms, when I was in high school. It’s a short piece, with a photograph of him. No mention is made of my mother or me, and I’m left to wonder whether the omission was intentional on my father’s part, in anticipation of his long departure. Perhaps the reporter failed to ask personal questions, intimidated by my father’s imperious manner; or perhaps it was an editorial decision, not part of the simple story that they were looking for. I wonder, too, whether the omission caused a fight between my parents.” From “Dreams From My Father” (Pg. 26 last paragraph) So with all these Birth Certificates lying around, why did he feel it necessary to produce a "Certification of Live Birth" that is inconsistent with a Birth Certificate and wholly lacking all of the information you would find, in you know, a Birth Certificate? He seemed to have some emotional attachment to the Birth Certificate found among his mother’s belongings. Why wouldn’t he just slap that one up, for all the world to see? It seemed important that he found a document that is called a “Birth Certificate” and it is highly unlikely he would not know what one looks like.
Hope no one brings up some house fire that vaporized his BC. That was in 1972 and none of the documents listed here would have been affected by that “fishy” event.
Yeah, they feel it’s safe to come out of the woodwork now that Obama is at the top, ripping up the Constitution day-by-day.
Ok, I'll play along. Seems to me there have been 42 previous presidents who have followed the rules and 1 for whom there are many questions. Ok, that takes care of precedents so lets see about commonsense notions of fairness and good policy. Sorry, life ain't fair so fairness doesn't enter the equation, but common sense and good policy does. John Jay's letter to George Washington proposed that there be a specific distinction for the office of the president in that he be a natural born citizen. Ok, sounds John and George and the other founding fathers had some good common sense there in not wanting a foreigner in the executive office... Viva, Fidel!!!, uh, no, that won't work... so they set good policy with the Constitutional amendment.
The Constitution won’t allow the idiots to have their communism so it must be ignored and anyone who gets in their way will be ridiculed. The MSM couldn’t be bothered to do a little homework and find that Obama is indeed, a dual citizen ineligible to be POTUS, or like the author of this piece says, they couldn’t care less.
I'll bet the farm that he doesn't feel that way about the 14th amendment. The libtards treat the 14th with utmost reverence. All the rest of the Constitution, though, is negotiable to them (and the 10th is to be ignored as though it weren't there).
Since Ayers ghost wrote Dreams, it would appear that a fix of his background was being orchestrated long before he became a Senator in IL. I am convinced his first name of record was Barry Dunham, and that he was born in Vancouver and brought back into the U.S. as a swaddler so his mommy could attend college in WA and not embarass her mother in HI when she was seeking to become established int eh banking community there. I am absolutely certain the displayed exhibits called CoLBs are fradulent and that demcorats in general don’t even care.
You can add the 16th amendment to your list.
Oh, it’s much worse than that. The media know there are legitimate question reagrding their little affirmative action mangod, and they are giving the sonofabitch as much cover as they can. John Klein (head of CNN) went so far as to flaot a lie to explain there was no long form BC, and had the feckless Lou Dobbs repeat the lie on air! Numerous shills have stated flatly that they have seen the BC, then they display a computer generated copuy of one or more of the three fraudulent displays Barry has used via the Internet. ... The fourth estate is the fifth column enemy of We The People. And frankly, it’s approaching critical, so that hunting season may have to be opened to cull the scum.
obumpa
That's because it's the 14th Amendment that they use to turn rights into privileges, flip due process on it's head, and rule according to socialist government need, rather than the God-given rights of the People.
The days of the media scum are numbered. Every day my daily paper gets skimpier and skimpier. They say they are doing it to save the trees. Our watchdogs for freedom have turned into Pit Bulls. The result is a Darwinian thing. Darwin Awards are pending.
There are comments about the 14th Amendment, but no mention of the clear enunciation of the definition of natural born citizen by John Bingham, principal author of Amendment 14, in an address to the joint session of congress, and in writing for the Congressional Record (thanks SatinDoll). Why do you think the birth certificate dominates most discussion of Obama’s eligibility? Probably because endless speculation will extend far beyond 2012 and no proof will require the production of such a certificate. But regardless of where Barry was born, he and his father were British subjects, and that is a fact in evidence. That is why birth certificates have so many fans, not all of whom support Obama intentionally, but all of whom distract from the unquestionable violation of Article II Section I clause 5.
The tabloid conjecture about hundreds of details is a distraction if one reads the framers, court cases, the founders (founders fought and framers wrote the Constitution - some were both founders and framers). At no time in our history has someone born a subject of another country been eligible for the presidency. The one president with a British father, Chester Arthur, hid his family documents, distracted the public with lies to encourage a wild goose chase over possible Canadian or Irish birth, similarly to Obama’s Hawaiian intrigue, and burned his personal documents just before he died. Arthur's ineligiblity was exposed by Leo Donofrio in the fall of 2008 while he and his sister were researching the remaining papers of Arthur. His father's naturalization document was somehow not noticed, or its significance not recognized by curators until Donofrio, familiar with the Constitution, came across it.
Orrin Hatch proposed an amendment to make Schwarzenegger eligible in 2003, the twenty fourth such amendment attempt, and got nowhere). Obama is ineligible because he was not “Born in the country of citizen parents.”
Obama supporters and many here on Free Republic would like you to doubt the validity of this claim, and many will say that the election made him eligible. We were created as a nation of laws. To ignore our laws because of a presumed majority opinion makes us a popular democracy and not a republic. The history of popular democracies can be seen in Venezuela and Cuba.
That sounds like the state of affairs in most of our churches these days regarding the Scriptures. They are merely ceremonial as well.
I would say something here, but I just drooled into my keyboard and it is sparking. Gotta run. . .
parsy, who says Help!
What if it was something as simple as-they simply got the names mixed up. They thought Stanley was the father and Barack was the mother and put them in the wrong slot, and it’s all a big misunderstanding.
This issue has had two years to grow legs and it hasn’t. You’d think Supreme Court Justices of all people wouldn’t have sworn in someone who was ineligible. Or GOP congressmen would’ve done their duty.
