The following is a funny and true story shared by KC Williams who teaches AP Government at Santa Fe High School ..

In one of KC's classes, they were discussing the qualifications to be president of the United States . It was pretty simple:

"The candidate must be a natural born citizen of at least 35 years of age."

However, one girl in the class immediately started in on how unfair was the requirement to be a natural born citizen. In short, her opinion was this requirement prevented many capable individuals from becoming president.

KC and the class were just taking it in and letting her rant, but everyone's jaw hit the floor when she wrapped up her argument by stating & asking:

"What makes a natural born citizen any more qualified to lead this country than one born by C-section?"

And someday she'll vote!

It's not information concerning the actions or intent of any government agency. That's personal information held in trust by a government agency. Would like it if ANYBODY could file a form and get your SSN, Social or
any other info concerning you?


Well, if it just involves an ordinary American citizen, no. But as of January 20th, it doesn't. I'm not a lawyer, obviously, I just wondered if it could be used since the issue now involved the Executive Branch of the American government. Just wondering, that's all. :whistle: What's your opinion? Do you see what I'm trying to get at?

TIA for any more input.

More lawsuits

A new lawsuit is being prepared by a California attorney who already has four cases pending over the issue of President Obama's eligibility to occupy to Oval Office, and this one will include a demand from state lawmakers who forward state funds to Washington for documentation of his qualifications.
...

Four already have signed up, including state Rep. Eric Swafford of Tennessee, who agreed to be a plaintiff "for a Writ of Mandamus to obtain original birth certificate, immigration records, passports and other vital records for Barry Soetero aka Barack Hussein Obama."

It is really hard to believe that none of this evidence made him accountable to American citizens. I doubt this will go anywhere at this point.:doh:
Personally, I think people need to realize that they are no longer in control of their government when NO ONE is responsible for verifying the eligibility of a government official to hold their position, and that no one can challenge said official because they do not have "standing" - they cannot demonstrate "injury"

The USSC is not going to allow such a national crisis. If this were true through-and-through, without a doubt, they still wont touch it. They know what would ensue on our streets all over the country. They know people are very little concerned about the constitution.

Are you really suggesting that the SCOTUS would totally disregard the US Constitution and the laws of the land on any issue, solely on the fact that some might be upset and do something illegal as a result of a correct, yet [to some] unpopular decision?

Are you suggesting that the SCOTUS thinks that Americans don't want them to be concerned about the US Constitution?

Are you suggesting that the SCOTUS isn't concerned with the US Constitution?

Not sure if I read sarcasm here or not...

Well, it's not like they haven't done it in the past? Roe v. Waded come immediately to mind.

Are you suggesting that the SCOTUS thinks that Americans don't want them to be concerned about the US Constitution?

Americans seem to want what's expediently best for them and if the Constitution gets in the way of that, then yes.

Are you suggesting that the SCOTUS isn't concerned with the US Constitution?

Being that the SCOTUS is typically split in most of their votes I would have to say that at least half of them are little concerned with the Constitution.

John Adams

While 90+ depositions say the soldiers wantonly shot down innocent civilians & boys...and nearly all of Boston demanded retribution...

John Adams stepped forward: took an unpopular task and proved that the law does NOT hear the clamor of the crowds...it understands justice & the law.--That is what made this nation great: courage...and respect for the law.

If the law follows the whims & passions of the people: we are through.

That's ridiculous, and it's sad that you think that.

This thing should have been resolved one way or the other long before Obama was sworn as President. If people believe the United States Supreme Court ignored it's duty and settled for what would cause the least trouble , it is the Court that brought this about by it's inaction.

Do I believe the Supreme Court ducked this issue due to fear of what might happen were Obama found to be ineligible??

I believe this.: The Conservatuive members of the court were worried that moving on this issue might have caused riots and civil unrest. The liberal members were in Obama's pocket. That's my belief .

It's how Rosevelt's "New Deal" became legal
If I remember my history correctly, he threated to increase the number of justices - "pack the court" with people that agreed with his philosophy - unless they (the court) agreed with his philosophy.

Does that sound about right?

FDR Played the system

The Republicans were an irrelevant minority after the collapse of Hoover in Fall 1932.
The first 100 days were packed with executive orders and rush legislation that the Dem party immediately endorsed.
There was little regard to cost.

Within 2 years: appeals began making their way to the supreme court (AAA and WPA...). When the court struck down a number of programs: FDR (with the press in his pocket) blasted the court and schemed to remove the elder justices and appoint at least 6 more to create a super majority: thus endorsing any further challenge.

This is where the Dems becme nervous as they took a peek at fascist Germany and Hitler's rise...and said that this action would throw the balance of power out wack: they said no.


Snapshot today...The Congress would likely NOT stand up to further radical measures and is giddy at the thought of imbalancing the court with hyper liberal justices.

3 years, 11 months.
