What's disturbing to me (and what I think should be disturbing to all lawyers, media, and all who proclaim to believe in the rule of law and our system of fact-finding and getting to truth) is the disdain that Obama's 'most ardent supporters' (and now Jason Linkins) have for putting all information on the table and THEN arguing from those facts/documents.
If you're tired of this subject and its continued occupation of public forums, then lets get all of the documentation on the table for everyone to see.
Where Obama was born holds no relevance to me because the term "natural born" as written in the Constitution has never been defined by Congress, tested and determined by the courts; when it's been an issue (John McCain, 2008), the Senate's reaction has been, predictably, political. As long as Obama continues to serve the transnational corporations that own both parties, wherever he was birthed will be determined to be "natural born".
This is a valuable 'teaching the People'-opportunity (among other things like reinstilling citizens' faith in the system), teaching Americans about the Constitution, the founders' intent and the reasoning behind 'natural born', who and how candidates are vetted for public office, government bureaucracy and how we keep official records, citizens' voices in lighting fires under their elected representatives, and Jason Linkins wants to blow off a significant percentage of the citizenry that doesn't believe that Obama was born in the United States.
