Interesting that his realization came after Wenholee.org – Opposition to Bill Richardson’s Nomination

Many more of Obama’s selection need to go.

Ted: think we have until the 20th to get him out, until swearing in time. Different legal scholars have differing opinions who will become POTUS, whether it is Biden permanently or not. Most think Biden would be POTUS temporarily, until Congress picks new one, but we know it would be Biden most probably anyhow. This is all uncharted territory. Think all others died or resigned, never had one declared ineligible before he took oath. Please someone correct me if I am wrong.

Hey Ted: is that a SCOTUS case you are referring to; the 3 USC 19? If so, couldn’t find it. Could only find a 3 US 17. Please clarify, am interested in reading it.
Thanks.

This is proof positive Obama is not above the law and he’s more than aware of it. I’m sure he was also aware of Richardson’s possible indictment when he elected him for the cabinet, especially when he was being probed back in August of this year:

Excellent work at shining more spotlights in your direction, Mr. Obama.

Speaking of Harry Reid, Senate Democrats and Constitutional qualifications, seems there are more immediate issues than Burris, namely BHO himself (WHY NO MEDIA COVERAGE OF THIS?) –

MESSAGE TO EVERY MEMBER OF CONGRESS:

When counting the electoral votes, either Congress finds by 1/8/09 that Obama — not being an Article II “natural born citizen” (father Kenyan/British, not American, citizen) — fails to qualify as President whereupon Biden becomes the full fledged President under 3 USC 19 (free to pick his own VP such as Hillary) or thereafter defers to the Supreme Court to enjoin Obama’s inauguration with Biden becoming only Acting President under the 20th Amendment until a new President is duly determined.

The preferable choice, at least for the Democrats, would seem obvious.

Aw shucks! Does this mean I cleaned out my DVR for nothin’? Was looking forward to seeing Burris led away in handcuffs on orders of that “old trial lawyer” Reid. And speaking of Reid, how “old” is that old trial lawyer?

And what’s up with Richardson’s face? He lost all the bushwhack, or is that an old pix, Phil?
