For the last time I never said Obama Himself renounced his citizenship as a child!!!
Why has this gone all the way to the SCOTUS, if their is nothing to it? Are the judges
Just a bunch of "hacks"? Or do you think maybe they know a little something about the law?
Why would they waste their time with a so called ridiculous rumor, when they denied EVEN hearing the case of Terry Schiavo?
The fact stands that if Clarence Thomas has agreed to call a conference of All judges than their IS something going on!
Factcheck.org has lied several times, is owned by Annanberg who is "in bed" with William Ayers!
Ps I'm posting from my bb so you will have to wait a minute for my source regarding the above statement.
Offering an apology to someone is NOT the same as declaring that Hawaii is no longer a state. In fact, this whole country was "taken" by people. An apology to native Americans does not make our country null and void.
On November 23, 1993, President Clinton signed United States Public Law 103-150, which not only acknowledged the illegal actions committed by the United States in the overthrow of the legitimate government of Hawaii, but also that the Hawaiian people never surrendered their sovereignty. The latter is the most important part of United States Public Law 103-150 for it makes it quite clear that the Hawaiian people never legally ceased to be a sovereign separate independent nation. There is no argument that can change that fact.Unable to argue against these legal issues calling into question the legitimacy of the United States presence in Hawaii, supporters of the Status Quo have put forward various straw-man arguments to justify why, even if the Hawaiian people were deprived of their government and lands illegally, that things should stay just the way they are today.
One of the most often-used straw-man arguments is that a Monarchy limited by a Constitution would be a bad thing. It does not seem to have harmed England, Monaco, or any of the quite prosperous Saudi Emirates. Two of Hawaii's Kings were elected to that office by popular vote. No other Monarchy boasts such a democratic process. And as the Wilcox Rebellions proved, Hawaiians found life under American rule much less enjoyable than it had been under Queen Lili`uokalani.
The final straw-man argument is that Hawaiian independence would cause the society in the islands to fall apart. But the truth is that a new government of an independent Hawaii is well motivated to NOT change anything; to keep the industry, tourism, high tech, indeed all of Hawaiian life pretty much as it is now, and to displace or disrupt as little as possible. Extremists and obvious fear-mongers aside, a transition of Hawaii from a state to an independent nation would change to who rent checks and taxes are sent, and little else. Even the flag of Hawaii would likely remain the same. Hawaii would lose the massive and complex bureaucracy that connects Hawaii to the mainland, and Hawaii's citizens would be free of their shares of the $7 trillion dollar federal debt and its ruinous interest, but who would mourn the loss?

This is the biggest load of crap I have ever heard.
The only reason for this happening is to yank the public's emotions, on both sides.
You tell me that a candidate for president of these United States can get through the entire process and be elected, but not be a citizen. I think not.
1) Screening process?
2) ethics on Obama's part by saying I am not sure where I was born or I know where I was born here is my certificate of birth, ethics pure and simple.
3) You tell me with all the $hit the media, and both sides dig up before elections would somehow stop the process or make him ineligible.
4) I don't believe that the USA and the powers that be are this incompetent, but if we are .............well I don't even have a comment on that.
Let's wait and see.

I seriosly get upset how in times like these, where the world economies are falling apart, americans have nothing better to do than play armchair lawyers. Start to find a way to work together and get on with it. It sickens me how these righteous and wicked people play games.
