All of the reasoning put forth a couple of posts ago is just that. Reasoning. This should not be about reasoning, but about the law, at least if we don't want to descend further into banana republicdom.
We should just let Obama go ahead and claim the presidency so that people won't be upset? Even if he's not a natural born citizen?
Then why should I obey the law? Why should anybody? Why should people be in prison right now. Please don't tell me it's because of the law.
The fact is that even though the state of Hawaii considers the certification of live birth to be enough, a dept within the state of Hawaii does not. And the reason that specific dept does not is because someone can be born out of state and still get registered in the state. Those are the facts. If the supreme court decides to overlook these facts because the people voted for obama and they are scared of the consequences, then that means the supreme court is not an arbiter of the constitution, they're just a rubber stamp for the whoever wields the most power. And that's what they're trying to preserve?
Doesn't matter much anyway. Given that the US is going to try auctioning several trillion dollars worth of bonds over the next few years and the consequences of that are going to destroy what we consider to be a normal way of life in this country.
