How the Usurper ‘usurped’
TPATH – There were well over 100 lawsuits that challenged Barack Obama’s place on the ballot in 2008 and 2012. These lawsuits contained a plethora of constitutional reasons why the man now occupying the White House should not have been on the ballot. Unfortunately, there were also a plethora of reasons why the lawsuits were dismissed and ignored – most of them revealing more about the judges and their disregard for the Constitution than the Usurper himself.
Of course we are all familiar with the “birther” allegations that were primarily dismissed through bully tactics rather than honest debate - even claiming men such as Donald Trump as their victims. Upon closer examination, the charges brought against the Imperial President ranged from the birther claims, to his possession of an illicit Social Security number, to a forged birth certificate, and dual citizenship - all of which should have disqualified him from being on the ballot and would have prevented him from usurping our system of government.
The reasons for dismissing the charges against BO in the early years were based on lack of standing. The judges claimed that damage incurred as a result of an unqualified candidate could only be brought by another candidate. These rulings were as illegitimate as the imposter himself, as we all have standing when the Constitution is being violated - especially when that violation places someone in authority over the entire nation. Given good ole American ingenuity, soon presidential candidates were filing suit. Most noteworthy was Alan Keyes. Afterward, Susan Daniels, a private investigator from Ohio who discovered that Obama’s Social Security number was illegitimate filed her suit as a registered write-in candidate. By the way, the fruits of Ms. Daniel’s investigation were vindicated when the Usurper’s attempt to register for ObamaCare was rejected due to an invalid Social Security number. Of course his Administration swept this under the rug saying his number belonged to a President, which meant that it was protected in some unusual manner. And once again, the Usurper was allowed to continue usurping.
Ms. Daniel’s case is very interesting because she filed suit against the Ohio Secretary of State. The court ruled that the Secretary of State had no statutory authority to bar the Democratic Party Presidential nominee from appearing on the Ohio ballot. So, who did have the authority? Did the Court assume or presume that the Democrat Party should have policed itself - good luck with that one! The Susan Daniels’ situation is more bizarre, since the Defendants never showed up in Court and the Judge (a Republican) argued the case on their behalf instead of ruling against them on the basis of Default. Then the Judge found in favor or his own legal argument - no surprise there.
One of New Jersey’s two cases is similar to Ms. Daniels in that the Defendants’ attorney stated that even Mickey Mouse could be on the ballot, to which the Judge agreed. Although testimony was given that the Board of Elections admitted that BO never filed any documentation as required in 2008 or 2012, the Administrative Law Judge Jeff S. Masin stated: "There appears to be no affirmative requirement that a person indorsed (sic) in a nominating petition for the Presidency present to the Secretary of State any certification or other proof that he is qualified for the Office." Again, whose responsibility is it that the constitutional requirement is observed if not a judge’s?
Our Constitution states in Article II, Section 1:
No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty-five years, and been fourteen years a resident within the United States.
Apparently no one is enforcing this constitutional requirement - not our judges - not our Secretaries of State - not our Democrat Party - not our Republican Party - and not our electoral college who ultimately casts its votes for the candidate. It seems the Obama attorney was correct - even Mickey Mouse can be on the ballot. And if I had my way, I’d much prefer Disney’s large-eared rodent to be our Commander in Chief than the large-eared rodent presently occupying the White House. It may be easy to blame the Usurper in Chief for this crime against the Constitution, but there is more than enough blame to go around. He couldn’t get away with this by himself. He had quite a bit of help from the Courts and all the other mentioned complicit parties.
The situation is worse. The Usurper in the White House does what usurpers do. He has seized power that does not rightfully belong to his office in a myriad of ways - fundamentally changing our Constitutional Republic (as he promised). We act surprised. We shouldn’t be. From the time he ran for the Presidency up until now, he has ignored our Constitution whenever it didn’t suit his purposes, and the media, Congress, the Judiciary, and both major political parties have allowed him to do so with only a poor show of objection.
So, let me ask this: anyone for starting a class action lawsuit against all that have committed crimes against our Constitution? Let’s see, that would be all the men and women in black robes posing as dispensers of justice and protectors of our Constitution; all the Democrats that certified Obama’s candidacy; all the Secretaries of State that allowed him to be placed on the ballot without proper documentation; all the Republicans that went along with the scam without uttering a word; and all those in the electoral colleges that cast their state’s votes for the Usurper. There would be no dearth of defendants; but there does seem to be a dearth of outraged citizens.
You may crumble under the insults of being called “birthers” or whatever name the cabalists can conjure up, but I can assure you that those who crumble under name-calling will most assuredly crumble under the Usurper’s tyrannical rule. It’s high time We the People do what those we have trusted have failed to do: enforce our Constitution while it is still worth the paper it is written on. Only by declaring his Presidency illegitimate will this country be able to undo all the harm this one Usurper has done, and that will happen only if our true patriots will rise to the call after falling to their knees. It won’t take an army to defeat this despot, but it will take a contingent of committed patriots - thick-skinned and unafraid to face the media’s ridicule and complacent judges. Will someone please say “Amen!”
