Maybe you should read that document you like to try and protect but have no clue what it says: The US Constitution.
Maybe you should give some consideration of the fact once he declares martial law because of riots etc he is in charge with his army. I think that many of you people could be very surprised to learn what can happen once they have ignored the Constitution enough times and need to do so one more time.

What time of year will that election be done if he declares martial law on say October 15? I don't think you are looking with much reality at what Could, happen.

He got into office without proving citizenship and surely he could do what I suggest if he were in complete control with martial law. I guess you are like so many of your buddies here who don't think that the riots of spring, kind of like the Arab Spring, just couldn't cause The Won to declare martial law. I very much hope you people are right but will have to see it happen before I agree with you.

A dicta is a legal opinion, used to create a ruling for a case they are hearing so yes.. it is a ruling because without it, the legal ruling wouldnt hold legal authority.

Would you?
Considering the legal argument was originally made over 100 years ago, I cant speak for what was going on in their head. I do think its an issue that needs to be resolved though.

Maybe you need to change that tin foil hat, not get a bigger one.

You should look at that document I told you to read (The US Constitution). Its seems you're unfamiliar with it.

BTW, we were under "martial" law in the 40's. Little thing called World War II happened.

We still had elections.


And it seems you're not familiar with how "martial law" is declared in the United States. You may want to pick up a history book while you're trying to find a copy of the US Constitution to read.

Lie. He proved his citizenship when he provided his COLB to the press in August of 2008.



Guess you love to live in perpetual ignorance.

He's already in charge of the Army. That's what Commander-in-Chief means.

But what would lead you to anticipate riots? You planning on starting some?

The problem of course is that this issue got hijacked by the "where is the birth certificate" movement and the two issues got merged together.

One can be cosidered a citizen but not natural born obviously.. For example, those who come here from other nations..

But try to explain this to people who continue to believe the issue is over a birth certificate..
