In an e-mail message to editors of The American Spectator, an aide to Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Florida) writes:
The main story on the Spectator's website right now about Rubio's chief of staff is wrong. Cesar did not have anything to do with the Florida primary date. I'm not sure who his "source" is, but he didn't check with our office before publishing the story - if he had, we would have told him the truth, which is that our office had nothing to do with the primary date.

i don’t like the way that he’s being already promoted to the presidency when he hasn’t done anything.
Florida news ping
The implied story was that he was shilling for Romney.
Romney needs an early Florida primary, because he needs momentum going into the real South, where his Mormonism will be a big issue, as it was last time.
It looks like a number of candidates are interested in being Romney’s VP, unfortunately, Cain included.
This bears closer scrutiny.
If Rubio is telling the truth, great.
I’d he is just another sneaky, slimy Pol...puke.
Rubio had better be damned certain of this. If someone presents proof that his COS was involved in this, he’ll have a lot of damage to control.
Do we need to remind you to substantiate that claim or remain thought of as deceitful?
Ken,those promoting Rubio for the presidency present a grave danger to the republic. Too many conservatives have read our Constitution, and have overcome the clever concealment of truth that Minor v. Happersett enequivocally turned common law into precedent. Even Justice Gray, author of the Wong Kim Ark decision, protected his own behind by telling part of the truth, that the definition of natural born citizenship was common law. What Gray didn't point out, but clearly understood, is that Minor turned common law into precedence. Almost every term in the Constitution comes from common law. Every Obama supporter who begins with "Because it was never defined in the Constitution..." is setting up the smoke screen. Constitutional terms were deliberately left, as Chief Justice Waite explained, to "common-law," "nomenclature with which the framers fo the Constitution were familiar." Otherwise, as Madison explained, changing language would render the Constitution meaningliss.
Chief Justice Waite needed an undoubted citizen before the 14th Amendment to construct his decision showing that citizens had gained no privileges or rights through the 14th Amendment. The only constitutional definition of a citizen before 1868 is in Article II Section 1. It was common law, understood by most everyone, cited by framers and founder and in a dozen cases. Over ninety percent of our republic were natural born citizens. Elizabeth Minor was a natural born citizen. Citizens are either natural, or naturalized. No statute (other than the quickly replaced 1790 Naturalization Act) could define who was a natural born citizen. So Justice Waite chose to make never doubted common law into precedent, which is why he so carefully clarified the definition, never citing Vattel’s common law, as did Justice Marshall in the Venus, among several other justices.
“At common-law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens.” Because his decision was meaningless without connecting Elizabeth Minor, born on our soil to parents who were citizens, to a constitutional definition of who were citizens, Waite's decision turned common law into precedent.
Justice Gray, appointed by ineligible president Chester Arthur, took some pains to insulate himself should anyone have the clarity or temerity to see through the smokescreen created by Arthur's friend, Hinman, who pretended that Arthur's birthplace was in doubt (Arthur, like Obama, hid his family documents, and had them burned just before his death.) Gray cited Minor v. Happersett first in Wong Kim Ark, never questioning the precedent established by Minor, but talking about the importance of British Common Law, applied to our Constitutional Republic. Among the ironies is that British Common Law doesn't allow naturalized citizens, like Barack Obama, to be Members of Parliament. There is more irony to the legal inference that Barack Obama, a natural born subject of the British Commonwealth by his own admission, while ineligible to be president of the United States, is eligible to become a member of the British Parliament.
Rubio, by not honoring his sworn oath to honor, defend, and protect the Constitution, while he is hardly alone, should be truncating his potential for any higher office. As a naturalized citizen he is most certainly eligible to hold any office but the presidency, but integrity counts. By his silence he has sullied his integrity almost as much as John McCain, whose complicity in providing cover to Obama, since Republican legislators knew from five previous Congressional hearings and three law suits, that McCain's eligibiity was in doubt, wouldn't dare raise Obama's obvious ineligibility. McCain was defended by Obama’s party, Leahy's Senate Judiary Committee, Obama's and Soro’s lawyers, who also commissioned the legal briefs attacking Article II, one in the Chicago Kent Law Review.
Why did no one see this earlier? Some did. But, without guidance, few would know where to look, what to look for and in which case. Pieter NosWorthy, an American Thinker blogger, pointed to Minor as precedence last spring, but Leo Donofrio has clarified the case for those of us who have come to understand the importance of The Constitution. Even then, it takes living with the reasoning for a while for the chain of arguments to become “clear and distinct to the human reason” (as Descartes explained a few centuries ago).
Concealment was aided by Obama’s cadre, many, progressives in the legal community, who altered citations in a number of cases on public web sites which had their citations to Minor v. Happersett redacted before the 2008 election. Those searching for legal definition of natural born citizesn by following citations had the clues removed. Justia.com is just one of the culprits, with so little regard for the law that they supplied counterfeit documents to protect the ineligibility of their, as Harry Reid defined him, “Light skinned,” “with no negro-dialect” Marxist community activist. Legal activists scrubbed legal documents to hide the truth. Minor v. Happersett is truth. Obama has surpressed the truth to usurp power for his power base. That they don't respect the Constitution couldn't be more clear. But Rubio has joined them in what he must perceive to be his personal and political interests. Rubio, if we prevail, and return the Constitution to its prominence, retreat from oligarchy to the republic we created, should not be trusted.
