re: "Obama to lock up Army doctor rather than produce birth certificate"

Chris Carter at Unto The Breach ("Covering matters of American liberty and security.") had an update on LTC Lakin's court martial.

Money quote(s):

"I know that if Obama is found to be a usurper, the country will likely experience unrest. I also know that we would be left with Nancy Pelosi as VP and Joe Biden as President, which in itself is almost enough to deter any steps to restore a legitimate government. But the fact remains that the Constitution says that our president must be “natural born.” And when the president is willing to throw a decorated Lieutenant Colonel into prison rather than produce his birth certificate, that path is the darker of the two."

Personally, I very much doubt Pres. Obama will ever be proven not to have been born in Hawaii. And much of the blog-noise about Indonesian step-fathers, losing his citizenship, &tc., is ignorant jaw-jawing about irrelevancies.

And as for the president being "willing" about anything in this case pre-supposes the notion that it's even on his radar screen. He's in office and he's got bigger fish to fry.

re: "Ms. Nancy Redeems Herself ... Just a Little Bit"

The Consul's Files ("Where U.S. consular officers can ...
... ask questions, answer questions, question answers, express frustrations, tell their favorite consular stories, uncensored and anonymous.") has a good memory for legislative inconsistency.

Money quote(s):

"I'm fairly certain that it was Ms. Pelosi who berated CA for attempting to collect payment from Beirut evacuees in 2006; people who had moved to and lived in a place we'd been warning them for years to stay away from. As it was the same Ms. Pelosi who had earlier voted against earmarking funds for Amcit emergency evacuations."
