So how do we the people get out of this mess? That’s what I’m struggling to resolve in my own mind and use as a basis to suggest action that state legislatures can take on our behalf.

For instance, what can a state do to create a case where SOMEBODY would have standing so that the whole system of judges can’t just totally blow off their duty?

I keep thinking about the First Amendment phrase: the right of the people to petition the government for a redress of grievances.” If we the people have no recourse BETWEEN ELECTIONS - and we’ve seen just how much the corruptocrats care about the “accountability” of elections - then the corruptocrats have no reason to fear us, which equals nothing to hold them in check. Letting Congress monitor its own ethics is one of the worst experiments we’ve tried in this country. It has created a cesspool in DC that every decent and honest person we elect seems to inevitably succomb to. These critters need to be accountable to somebdoy besides their partners-in-crime. Somebody besides the fox needs to guard the henhouse.

We the people can demand that Speaker Boehner subpoena the relevant documents so that we the people can discover the truth. I am concerned that Boehner will not act under the mistaken belief that the Obama eligibility issue is a phony issue concocted by crackpots on the fringe of the political spectrum. Boehner needs to hear from ordinary people that care about our constitution.

If Boehner abandons the people on this issue, the issue will be dead.
