On the eve of the hearing in Judge David Carter's federal courtroom in Santa Ana, California, over whether Barack Obama will be forced to produce documentation of his birth, several things are clear:
1) Barack Obama still refuses to produce any documentation concerning the circumstances of his birth. The question remains: Why?
2) His lawyers (paid for by you, the taxpayer) made NO assertions in their pleadings concerning whether or not Obama is a natural born citizen. None. They simply told the court that it doesn't have jurisdiction in this matter.
If you want to boil the message of Obama and his government lawyers to the American people down to its essence, what they are saying is "WE WON. Get over it." If you’ve been paying attention, you know that this bit of arrogance is hardly something new for Barack Obama.
Sorry, but millions of Americans refuse to "get over it." The Constitution's simple requirements still matter to us. We deserve to know whether the man in the White House, occupying the most powerful position in our country and in the world, is actually constitutionally qualified to be there. Some of us have sons and daughters who may live or die based on the decisions that are made in that particular office, and the quality of the character of the man making the decisions.
Congress should have taken care of this months ago. But they refused to do their job. You see, the two-legged beast known as the Democrat and Republican political establishment no longer cares at all about the Constitution's requirements. The oath of office has become nothing more to them than a formality.
No matter what the outcome might be in the courtroom tomorrow, that isn't going to change. At least, not until We the People clean out the lawless septic tank Washington has become and elect people who understand and will adhere to the most basic laws of our land.
And so, tomorrow we will see the quality of the character of a single federal judge, former Marine Judge David Carter. We will see if he buys into the argument that because everyone else has abrogated their oath, he must do the same.
