too bad
Penalize the SOS? So what? It's about time that pompous state (and federal) bureaucrats have their feet held to fire when they act in violation of the Constitution which they take an oath to uphold!

Good point — In the Great Depression the USA was left alone by the outside world in its economic misery until Pearl Harbor.
This is not the case today with this country in the middle of a world war against Islamic terrorism. When this nation displays any sort of weakness, the sleeper cells will become active and nothing unites Americans more quickly than a foreign attack, especially if the terrorists use a dirty nuclear bomb that cause hundreds of thousands deaths and injuries.
My mistake. I stand corrected.
In spite of that, I did not, and would not believe that America would elect a candidate like Barack Obama. I simply would not believe it, and stated I would only believe it when I saw it.
Well, here we are.
In my opinion, we should be fighting the inauguration of this man, his principles and the rest of his party on every front we can and not give an inch of metaphorical ground until they have taken it and we will not be able to get it back. Here are some quotes from Barack Obama:
If you look at the victories and failures of the civil rights movement and its litigation strategy in the court. I think where it succeeded was to invest formal rights in previously dispossessed people, so that now I would have the right to vote. I would now be able to sit at the lunch counter and order as long as I could pay for it I’d be o.k. But, the Supreme Court never ventured into issues of redistribution of wealth, and of more basic issues such as political and economic justice in society.
To that extent, as radical as I think people try to characterize the Warren Court, it wasn’t that radical. It didn’t break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the founding fathers in the Constitution, at least as its been interpreted and Warren Court interpreted in the same way, that generally the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties. Says what the states can’t do to you. Says what the Federal government can’t do to you, but doesn’t say what the Federal government or State government must do on your behalf, and that hasn’t shifted and one of the, I think, tragedies of the civil rights movement was, um, because the civil rights movement became so court focused I think there was a tendency to lose track of the political and community organizing and activities on the ground that are able to put together the actual coalition of powers through which you bring about redistributive change. In some ways we still suffer from that.
"..I think we can say the Constitution reflected a enormous blind spot in this culture that carries on until this day, and that the framers had that same blind spot. I don't think the two views are contradictory to say that it was a remarkable political document, uh that paved the way for where we are now, and that it it also reflected the fundamental flaw of this country that continues on to this day.
Keeping in mind the content of these quotes, we should read the Oath of Office for the Presidency that Obama is expected to swear upon his inauguration:
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
In light of Obama's quotes that I included above, is there anyone here who doubts for one minute he and his kind have no intention whatsoever of preserving the Constitution? To begin the destruction of the document, it has to begin somewhere, and the first place that happens is with Article II, Section1, Clause 5 of that document.
This is my opinion.
I readily admit I would enjoy the irony of a man denied office on a technicality (even though there is nothing technical or minor about a constitutional requirement) given that he gained public office and maintained it both by having his opponents thrown off the ballot on technicalities in order to run unopposed, then winning the general election by having proxies expose sealed divorce records.
I admit that, but it does not make me wrong.
If it turns out that Obama lied about who his father is that wouldn’t make a difference to anyone?
***It wouldn’t make any difference to me, other than to confirm that he’s the bastard son of a commie. But he’d still get to be president because that is allowed in the constitution, but being naturalized is not.

It is a competitive market for your ears. I have all my AM presets ready to active at a moments notice!
Right! Here we are arguing the BC, when Donofrio’s case was re the NJ Sec/State sidestepping the laws! If this was clear-cut why did the Court deny it?
Thanks for the update. Leo and Cort are real heroes. I look forward to hearing Steve Pdigeon on Plains Radio tonight.
I am hopeful that Justice Scalia bumping Cort’s case up for review may be positive news.
He would still get to wear a wristwatch too. So what?
Yet another keyboard commando O-Bot. Yeah please us ethe lame rguement - I have been here longer than you.
I like your train of thought, and hope, for the sake of our country, that you are right.
more than a few people have said the birth of a baby at a hospital creates major paperwork. A set of records is kept by the state and hospital. They make sure records are safely stored forever. Obama’s birth should have created a lot of records. Doctoirs, hospital,e tc. So far nothing.
Gary Kreep from the Keyes case was very resistant to Leo telling him to add the British citizen claim to his case. I wonder if he has SOLID evidence that O was born in Kenya.
>>> Penalize the SOS? So what? It’s about time that pompous state (and federal)
You’re preaching to the choir on that one. But:
- our economy is in shambles, nearing a tipping point, IMO
- the EC on Dec 15 MAY be stayed
- the Presidential election COULD be overturned
- and then the SCOTUS makes the SOSs potentially question ALL 2008 elections — even though 15 or so states have specifically codified that their SOS is NOT to verify Presidential verification?
I want blood too, but I’m not ready for complete anarchy.
... that said, let’s see what the SCOTUS does on Friday ;)
I got an instant chuckle out of the squelching the Kenyan Ambassador got as soon as he stated that ‘Barack was born in Kenya, no doubt about it.’ With Raila in Kenya having an army of murderous thugs awaiting orders from him, the Ambassador must have dreaded to even accept a ‘recall’ to home.
And your point is???
