Is he a constitutional lawyer?

Just because he is a lawyer does not make him an expert.  Please cite statutes, case law, etc.

Have a lawyer...
He has a lawyer, and he has been holding out for more money for awhile. Been through mediation and the lawyer representing AIG says that they just do not have any more money to come up with.

The lawyer actually thinks he might ought to go ahead and take the figure they are offering...
He's a slimy lawyer - (nm)

a republican I might add (much to my chagrin) and he said it is a frivolous lawsuit. He added, which I already knew, it does not matter where he was born, who his father was, who he was adopted by, or where he went to school. His mother is an American citizen and he is therefore an American citizen, period. This is all just smoke and mirrors, lies, diversions from the real issues.
Saw a lawyer on the tube this morning....
saying that Obama campaign does not have to write down names under $200, however, they ARE supposed to be tracking credit card numbers to stop people from making MULTIPLE $200 donations with the same credit card. Supposedly that was done, but no one was making sure there were not repeat donations on the same card. Or they knew it and ignored it. THAT Is why they want an investigation, because it is against campaign finance law for one individual to donate more than $200.

Obama kept the donation from Hamas until it became public and then he gave it back....lobbyists is one thing. Terrorists quite another.


Those agreements are Constitutional law
Bush ignored Constitutional law to invade Iraq. (That's the very definition of corruption, by the way). You seem to think that's just hunky dory.

Why do you hate America?
There IS no constitutional crisis.
Recession teetering on the brink of depression. WAKE UP, will ya?
don'forget civil rights lawyer

Yeah, and Obama used to be ACORN's lawyer

It's to bad Mccain can't slick talk like O the Lawyer
then he could have really ripped O a new one.

But at least he called him out this time, although I wish he would have pushed a few more issues and really make him answer.

It's funny, all the left wings want us to pull out of Iraq a.s.a.p. but in talking with a lot of military folks I know they say they know why they are over there and they NEED to be there. I think the only ones that are ready to jump ship are the ones who only joined the military for a job and an education. The ones that actually joined because they want to fight for their country support what is going on overseas.

I don't doubt that Obama will win. There are too many people who are going to vote for him because he sounds good, and yes, many people will vote for him because he is black, and others will vote for him because they want daddy government to take care of them. Unfortunately, the majority of the nation can't look past his good looks and fancy speeches to see him for what he is.

After tonight, I think Mccain deserves the presidency. He wasn't my number one choice, but he sure as heck is my choice over Obama.
Your supposed "friend" who is a lawyer is a farce. nm
I does not matter what Indonesian law says. US law says that NO ONE can involuntarily take away ANY American's citizenship without their consent which can only be given at the age of majority, 21. Tell that to your friend.

On the reverse side, if a couple legally adopts a child from China, at the age of 21 they may decide whether they want to be an American citizen or a Chinese citizen.

Another example is if a pregnant woman from another country gives birth in the US, that child is automatically an American citizen and remains so until 21 when they can legally decide for themselves what country they want to be a citizen of. Get it?

He's a brilliant constitutional attorney....
No he's not, yes he is, no he's not, yes he is arguments will not win any elections.
Turley on Bush's Constitutional Skin

Well, first of all this President's theory of his power I think is now so extreme that it's unprecedented. He believes that he has the inherent authority to violate  federal law. He has said that. Not just the signing statements and the infamous torture memo-that Alberto Gonzales signed. It was stated that he could in some circumstances order federal officials to violate federal law and this is consistent across the board with this President. Frankly, I'm not too sure what he thought he was swearing to when he took the oath of office to uphold the Constitution and our laws. I've never seen a President who is so uncomfortable in his constitutional skin.

America is a Constitutional Republic, NOT democracy

This is a very good read.


I like the quote by Tom Tancredo "When I took the oath of the office, it wasn't to my party or President, it was to the Constitution".

Reasons there would be a constitutional crisis according to one expert...
The Consequences of “Forgetting”

There are factual economic, social, Constitutional, military and financial consequences of forgetting what damage an ineligible POTUS will do to our Country and the Constitution. These consequences are so serious that our government will not exist if we forget the rule of law, and what our Constitution demands. These are succinctly addressed in an article by Edwin J. Viera, Jr. entitled “Obama must step up or stand down now”.

Of the nine (9) reasons why Obama should step down if he has not proven his eligibility, the two that most notably concern me are:

No laws of Congress are valid

“Congress can pass no law while a usurper pretends to occupy “the Office of President.” The Constitution provides that “[e]very Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it become a Law, be presented to the President of the United States” (Article I, Section 7, Clause 2). Not to a usurper posturing as “the President of the United States,” but to the true and rightful President. If no such true and rightful President occupies the White House, no “Bill” will or can, “before it become a Law, be presented to [him].” If no “Bill” is so presented, no “Bill” will or can become a “Law.” And any purported “Law” that the usurper “approve[s]” and “sign[s],” or that Congress passes over the usurper’s “Objections,” will be a nullity. Thus, if Obama deceitfully “enters office” as an usurper, Congress will be rendered effectively impotent for as long as it acquiesces in his pretenses as “President.”

And

He Could not be Removed Except by Force

If Obama does become an usurper posturing as “the President,” Congress cannot even impeach him because, not being the actual President, he cannot be “removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors” (see Article II, Section 4). In that case, some other public officials would have to arrest him—with physical force, if he would not go along quietly—in order to prevent him from continuing his imposture. Obviously, this could possibly lead to armed conflicts within the General Government itself, or among the States and the people.

Bear in mind that as an imposter Commander–in-Chief of the Armed Forces, “he will be entitled to no obedience whatsoever from anyone in those forces. Indeed, for officers or men to follow any of his purported “orders” will constitute a serious breach of military discipline—and in extreme circumstances perhaps even “war crimes.” In addition, no one in any civilian agency in the Executive Branch of the General Government will be required to put into effect any of Obama’s purported “proclamations,” “executive orders,” or “directives” (Viera, J.).

We also have the constitutional right to the free expression thereof....
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Center on the words or prohibit the free exercise thereof. It is our constitutional right to freely express our religious views. You want to deny us that constitutional right do you?
Talk about a heap of constitutional amendments!
