I guess we're all just a bunch of dumb schlubs. I guess since Barry was elected, it doesn't matter if he was eligible or not.
Think of the usurpation by Barry as a football analogy:
Say you're playing defense in a Super Bowl where it's 4th quarter, you're leading by 5 points and on a 3rd down play the other team's offensive line belts you while you are out of bounds -- an obvious unnecessary roughness play. No whistle blows because the referees are distracted, except for the one ref at the far end of the field. He saw it, but his whistle isn't working. But he's running toward you screaming - and nobody pays attention.
Since the other team's QB is running a "hurry up offense" they get their next play off and score a touchdown to win the game with no time left on the clock. Just then the ref that ran from the far end of the field finally gets his whistle to work, blows it and charges the other team with an "unnecessary roughness" penalty from the previous play.
WELL TOO BAD FOR YOU! Since the other team got their play off before the whistle blew, they just beat you and there's nothing you can do about it. Sorry, better luck next time!
Repeated appeals to the commissioner fall on deaf ears, and they keep ruling that you "have no standing".
This is how I feel about the election of November 4th, 2008. America lost too!
That analogy doesn’t work because the game wouldn’t be over. The NFL is stricter about enforcing rules on field than the US government is in obeying the constitution.
