the problem is not lack of evidence. evidence has never even been presented.
the problem is so far the court has refused to hear the case NOT because of the quality of or lack of evidence
it's not about whether this question has ever been asked before.
you can stop distracting from the issue

what and mental, i would think you both would be concerned that no citizen has the right to ask this question. it's not about whether this question has ever been asked before. that happens all the time, and courts render opinions. our justice system says its citizens have no right to ask a simple question about eligibility.
you can stop distracting from the issue with your talk about evidence and slamming the attorney involved. address the issue of WHO is allowed to ask this question? WHY won't the court hear and rule? the court could easily say the COLB is adequate, end of story. but they won't do that. why won't they do that? if there is no evidence it would be a simple case.

Regulations and government/tax everywhere is the opposite of liberty and freedom. Had a hostile country invaded our country I would imagine we'd have less liberty, power and taxes taken from us.
However the removal of Obama from office won't undo the election results or the $1.9 Trillion he's added to the debt this year. Biden would be worse, but if the election results are voided then Pelosi would be president, which is a far worse scenario for the country than if Obama remained in office. No one in the current presidential successorship line should be president. If Obama is removed from office, this is one situation where I hope the military temporarily assumes power until special elections are held.

It was obvious from the campaign that Obama supported a large centrist government and was drawn to characters that favored large left leaning governments. McCain supported him, and McCain no longer had any fight left in him.
Obamas' qualifications and eligibility is still in question, at least I as a citizen doubt his qualifications and eligibility and I have serious concerns about his vision for the country which is towards an increasingly powerful central government. Regulations and government/tax everywhere is the opposite of liberty and freedom. Had a hostile country invaded our country I would imagine we'd have less liberty, power and taxes taken from us.

Many of the largest banks, brokerages, and insurance companies desired the Act at the time. The justification was that individuals usually put more money into investments when the economy is doing well, but they put most of their money into savings accounts when the economy turns bad. With the new Act, they would be able to do both 'savings' and 'investment' at the same financial institution, which would be able to do well in both good and bad economic times.
Prior to the Act, most financial services companies were already offering both saving and investment opportunities to their customers. On the retail/consumer side, a bank called Norwest which would later merge with Wells Fargo Bank led the charge in offering all types of financial services products in 1986. American Express attempted to own almost every field of financial business (although there was little synergy among them). Things culminated in 1998 when Travelers, a financial services company with everything but a retail/commercial bank, bought out Citibank, creating the largest and the most profitable company in the world. The move was technically illegal and provided impetus for the passage of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.
Also prior to the passage of the Act, there were many relaxations to the Glass-Steagall Act. For example, a few years earlier, commercial Banks were allowed to get into investment banking, and before that banks were also allowed to get into stock and insurance brokerage. Insurance underwriting was the only main operation they weren't allowed to do, something rarely done by banks even after the passage of the Act.
Much consolidation occurred in the financial services industry since, but not at the scale some had expected. Retail banks, for example, do not tend to buy insurance underwriters, as they seek to engage in a more profitable business of insurance brokerage by selling products of other insurance companies. Other retail banks were slow to market investments and insurance products and package those products in a convincing way. Brokerage companies had a hard time getting into banking, because they do not have a large branch and backshop footprint. Banks have recently tended to buy other banks, such as the 2004 Bank of America and Fleet Boston merger, yet they have had less success integrating with investment and insurance companies. Many banks have expanded into investment banking, but have found it hard to package it with their banking services, without resorting to questionable tie-ins which caused scandals at Smith Barney.
[edit]Remaining restrictions
Crucial to the passing of this Act was an amendment made to the GLBA, stating that no merger may go ahead if any of the financial holding institutions, or affiliates thereof, received a "less than satisfactory [sic] rating at its most recent CRA exam", essentially meaning that any merger may only go ahead with the strict approval of the regulatory bodies responsible for the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA).[17] This was an issue of hot contention, and the Clinton Administration stressed that it "would veto any legislation that would scale back minority-lending requirements." [18]
The GLBA also did not remove the restrictions on banks placed by the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 which prevented financial institutions from owning non-financial corporations. It conversely prohibits corporations outside of the banking or finance industry from entering retail and/or commercial banking. Many assume Wal-Mart's desire to convert its industrial bank to a commercial/retail bank ultimately drove the banking industry to back the GLBA restrictions.
Some restrictions remain to provide some amount of separation between the investment and commercial banking operations of a company. For example, licensed bankers must have separate business cards, e.g., "Personal Banker, Wells Fargo Bank" and "Investment Consultant, Wells Fargo Private Client Services". Much of the debate about financial privacy is specifically centered around allowing or preventing the banking, brokerage, and insurances divisions of a company....

Kozmo you accused my constitutional evidence as wrong in every sense yet you have not replied to it. If I am so wrong in this matter why do you seem to dodge what I presented earlier? Can you prove me wrong here?
Im waiting for that reply.

What evidence? The constitutional arguments have been debunked thus far, all we have left here is the fact "he didnt release his long form and his college records", sure you may play your suspicions but that doesnt mean your accusations are true.
Until you come up with actual evidence that he was born off these United states your dead in the water and will continue to do so. You may get praise on fringe websites and Obama hating blogs but under the court of law, the the rest of the world you realy have nothing to show for it.
How have the Constitutional arguments been debunked? He hasn't proven to be a natural born citizen and any and all methods for him to do so have been suppressed by him and his army of attorneys. Now, I recognize that you have been blinded by your adoration of Obama, but you would think that on occassion, regardless of how rare, some shred of logic might rise to the surface and give you pause... "Yeah, hey... how come he is paying all of these lawyers to suppress the only means to prove that he is, in fact, a natural born citizen???"

OH MY GOD! Why did I get involved? I never said that newspaper announcements were, on their own, proof of being born in Hawaii. My point is that these announcements were printed in those papers on the day of his birth. If you are going to argue that he was not born in Hawaii and the birth certificate was forged than these birth annoucnements would necessarily have to have been lies as well since you are saying the information they convey is untrue. Understand?
Given that the copies of these newspapers are stored in the archives of University libraries all over the country, most likely in microfiche form, this would mean that a conspiracy began on the date of his birth to fraudulently claim he was born in Hawaii.
The purpose of this conspiracy would be to fulfill the eligibility requirements for the president of the United States, and the conspirators knew that in 2008, he would win the Democratic primaries and would be one of the final two candidates for President. So, these conspirators would either have to be time travelers, psychics, or acting with the intention to rig the primaries decades in the future.
Having the money and personnel to perpetrate this fraud involving both state and hospital records, they knew they could bend this baby to their will to carry out their secret plan.
MUHAHAHHAHAAH
Like I said, YOU are a wacko!

The people that say that Obama is not a natural born citizen have yet to prove where he was born, have yet to prove anything. But they have made speculations and they have made accusations.
When you make an accusation especially one of this great a magnitude you have to provide proof to back up your claims. It is not the job of the defendant to prove their innocence, it is the job of the plaintiff to prove the defendants guilt.
That is the way the court system works. People that argue that Obama is not a natural born citizen have as of yet provided any real substantial proof of that accusation. The closest thing is a blog that may or may not be accurate. Without real proof there can be no litigation into the matter, no trial, and thus no conviction.
This illegal Obama theory is like a fuzzy UFO pic. It's exciting at first till the photograph expert takes it and shows everyone that it's a pie tin on a string.

This is a legal matter. I'd just show the darn piece of paper and get it over and done with. If I was innocent of the charges there would be no problem.

This movement puts its best foot forward. They don't even know the name of the Vice President and yet they have uncovered a conspiracy that began with false birth announcements made in multiple newspapers in the 1960s. Dan Brown should write a book called the Obama Code. You people are a joke.
