So then, how to settle it? The Obama People unilaterally deciding he's eligible? Civil War? What? IMNVHO, duking Constitutional issues out on the street, the battlefield, or even on FReep is not appropriate in a democratic Republic governed by a Constitution.
If the courts do not act responsibly, especially the SCOTUS, and either support Team Obama, or those opposed on eligibility, the only recourse left would be acquiescence, or rebellion. Within the time left for the second term, the ruling need not even address Obama, but such doubts about the next round of candidates can not remain.
As you frequently lament, SCOTUS could have taken the NBC issue up, perhaps with one of Donofrio’s cases. But the riots scenario was very real and they already had been slammed for Bush v. Gore and accused of “selecting” Bush.
And what if they had declared Barry ineligible in early January 2009? POTUS Biden? POTUS ineligible McCain?
The two inaugurations of Barry have set precedent that one US citizen parent claimed to have been born on US soil is sufficient. Rubio and Jindal have no US citizen parents and Cruz wasn’t US born so none of them have he same fact pattern as Barry and are thus risky and open to Democrat “birthers” and GOP primary challenger “birthers.”
I see Arpaio’s efforts as being the last best chance of getting Barry removed, but how many hundreds of millions of dollars and how many thugs would Barry have available if needed to kill Arpaio’s investigation?
The qualifications of the next round of candidates will be studied and ruled upon by the voters and their electors in 2016. In 57 straight presidential elections, voters/electors have approved the qualifications of every president who has been elected. Never has the Supreme Court ever even hinted that it would ever attempt to seize the power to overturn a decision rendered by voters/electors regarding a candidate's qualifications.
Trust God, the voters and their electors. Defend our Constitution from the crackpot statists who would, if permitted, impose a judicial tyranny on America.
Good old Kirstie Allsopp. She says labelling women who have caesareans as "too posh to push" is "grossly unfair". Quite right. Anyone familiar with learning disabilities knows many of them, particularly those involving gross and fine motor skills, seem linked to traumatic birth.
Most of the brain is protected by the crown of the skull during birth, but if contractions start to fade once a baby is in the birth canal, the cerebellum becomes vulnerable. Instead of being sceptical about the learning disabilities a damaged cerebellum may cause – including dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, dyspraxia, nonverbal learning disability – we should accept that this is an area that requires more research. Yet, the existence of these learning difficulties is sometimes questioned, while at the same time women are ridiculed for rejecting natural birth. Pretty abject, really.
