"It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a prey to the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt." -- JP Curran, 1790

Update: Obama Citizenship case NOT to be heard by Supreme Court

The U.S. Supreme Court will not hear the case challenging Barack Obama's citizenship eligibility to President. The case filed by Leo Donofrio in New Jersey also challenged the citizenship of 2 other Presidential candidates; John McCain and Roger Calero.

There is other litigation pending, including the Lafayette Hill, PA., however none will prevent him from becoming our next President.

As I wrote about earlier, I didn't think any of these cases had a chance at preventing his inauguration but rather helped to damage his squeaky reputation. Similar to the Left's attack on President Bush intelligence, it is now Obama's turn to fight for his persona. Early in the Bush Presidency it was suddenly "acceptable" that Presidents are no longer off-limits to comedians and petty humor. We'll see if the same courtesy is extended to Barack. Here are a few topics de jure...

My Obama Top 13

  1. He's not a U.S. Citizen
  2. He likes to give the Middle Finger
  3. Without a teleprompter, he's a stuttering buffoon
  4. He champions the word "um"
  5. He's a chain smoker
  6. He's secretly a Muslim
  7. He is unpatriotic & won't wear a Flag lapel pin
  8. He is Karl Marx reincarnate
  9. He is not Black. Half-black, raised by whites, and non-slavery heritage. Just ask Jesse J.
  10. He doesn't sweat
  11. He makes a reporters hearts' pitter-patter
  12. He wishes people would call him Barry
  13. He looks forward to the day when Michelle will let go of his ....... If Jesse Jackson doesn't get 'em first!

Obama Citizenship will be considered by Supreme Court on Friday

Another legal filing and the highest profile will be considered by the U.S. Supreme Court on Friday. It is a case filed by Leo Donofrio against Nina Mitchell Wells, New Jersey Secretary of State.

This probably will not be heard by the Supreme Court but it continues to raise the doubts of his citizenship. Combined with questions of his patriotism and flag lapels, these accusations, even if false, serve to repay the liberal lefts' belittling portrayal of President Bush as a dufus.

Let us not forget their out-right hatred and mistreatment of an incoming President in 2000. They have successfully savaged Republican political figures as unintelligent, and therefore have convinced the public that Conservative ideals and policies are wrong, blunders, and uncool. As I have said many times, Conservatives need to prevent the Republican party from continuing the failed course of personality politics. Rather, to restore Conservatism, a bold, intelligent, articulate leaders is needed who can sell the ideas to the American voters.

Article I, Section 6



"No Senator or Representative shall, during the Time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil Office under the Authority of the United States which shall have been created, or the emoluments whereof shall have been increased during such time; and no Person holding any Office under the United States, shall be a Member of either House during his Continuance in Office."


So the question President-elect Obama has got to ask himself is "Is Sen. Clinton eligible to be Secretary of State?" By a normal reading of our law of the land, it would seem not! Of course, I concur that a President should be allowed, with the advice and consent of the Senate, to appoint high officials of his (or her) choosing. Still, if the Constitution is in direct conflict with opinion (even the President's), then the Constitution wins out! Sphere: Related Content
