Stop picking on Mr. Soetoro!

For the first time in dozens of court cases challenging Barack Obama’s eligibility to be president, a judge has ruled that Obama must, in order to be a candidate on the Georgia ballot for president in 2012, meet the constitutional demands for candidates for the office.
A hearing has been scheduled later this month for evidence on the issue that has plagued Obama and his presidency since long before he took office. At issue is the constitutional requirement that a president be a “natural-born citizen.” Some allege he was not born in the U.S. as he has claimed and, therefore, is not eligible.
Others, including top constitutional expert Herb Titus, contend that the term “natural-born citizen,” which is not defined in the Constitution, would have been understood when the document was written to mean the offspring of two U.S. citizens. That argument is supported by a 19th-century U.S. Supreme Court decision.

The judge should watch for black ice and/or Chicago-style “slip and falls” which Bubba Clinton and the SEIU/Soros/Poverty Pimp gangs could use.
Sweet.
I think we have any number of judges who understand the Constitution. They just fear Obama and his goon squad more.
If only we had more honest judges, we would not be in this mess with an ill-bred bastard son of a world-hoho as president.
Racism!
Headline? Att. Gen. Holder launches investigation of hate crimes violations by that 'Cracker' judge
This is to good to be true.
Suh-WEET!!!!!!!
Will anyone listen?
Hillary will make them listen.
I am betting somebody gets to this judge before Jan 23rd. The pressure on this guy is going to be ginormous.
I'm usually the one to bring up the eligibility issue with folks I meet and if so many people, like the young woman above, are starting to look and pay attention to this then this issue is going to be a harder egg for Mr. Dunham to crack this time around.
People don't like being fooled or tricked.
While I have stated that I am in no way in favor of any judge, including justices on scotus, ordering Obama’s removal from office, should a judge find that he is not qualified to be on the 2012 ballot because he does not meet the definition of NBC, I would be in absolute favor of that.
I personally do not believe Obama is who he says he is, nor do I believe he was born anywhere in the U.S., including Hawaii.
You put in writing the exact words I was thinking. Do you recall a bill in GA that would have required Obama to submit an original LF BC for this election? It had overwhelming support and was a shoo-in. All of a sudden word came that Fed $ for the dredging of Savannah harbor would dematerialize if they went through w it. There may have been more threats as well. Overnight support eroded, and the bill died.
Look for something similar. Obama plays thug politics—and right now he has unchallenged power.
I believe you are on the right train of thought here. Recall the Arizona movement to disqualify Obama. It was voted in Ariznoa and the Gov. vetoed it. Republican Gov. who is being sued by our own Federal Govt(DOJ). I had to involve money for Giv. to veto. she was all for it until it hit her desk.
This is no surprise to anyone who knows anything about U.S. election law. For years, I and other knowledgeable FReepers have been posting that: (1) no U.S. court has jurisdiction to remove a sitting President, but that (2) every state has a procedure for challenging the qualifications of a candidate for office.
That having been said, I predict that the Court will rule that: (1) anyone born on U.S. soil, other than the child of a foreign diplomat, is a Natural Born Citizen, regardless of the citizenship of his parents, and (2) that if Obama can produce a birth certificate (long form or short form) from Hawaii, certified by the State of Hawaii as authentic (i.e., with a raised seal), that certificate is entitled to full faith and credit and cannot be contradicted by other evidence.
I do remember that. I wondered, as I’m sure did many, what pressures had been brought to bear on Jan Brewer. The Fed is so powerful, and Obama is wanton in his use of Fed thuggery. It will be very surprising if the GA judge hangs tough. Prayers that he will.
“That having been said, I predict that the Court will rule that: (1) anyone born on U.S. soil, other than the child of a foreign diplomat, is a Natural Born Citizen, regardless of the citizenship of his parents, and (2) that if Obama can produce a birth certificate (long form or short form) from Hawaii, certified by the State of Hawaii as authentic (i.e., with a raised seal), that certificate is entitled to full faith and credit and cannot be contradicted by other evidence.”
This is a nation built on LAW .
LAW is based on precedent (previous decisions).
The precedent has already been established in Miner vs. Hassert (which defines ‘Natural Born Citizen’).
Even if Zippo was born in Hawaii , both his father , and step-father were NOT U.S. Citizens .
To overlook this fact would obviscate previous precedent, in which case , we would no longer be a nation of LAWS .
I predict that your prediction (1) will instead be that - anyone who is born a citizen according to U.S. law is a natural born citizen.
The Constitution only mentions or envisions two types of U.S. citizen - those who are born with natural allegiance and thus are citizens at birth - and those who must be ‘naturalized’ into that state of allegiance.
You point about the full faith and credit clause is 100% accurate.
