Hillary Clinton: Obama Has 'Plenty Of Time' To Nominate Scalia Successor

WASHINGTON -- Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton fiercely defended President Barack Obama's constitutional right to appoint a replacement for Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, who was found dead Saturday morning.

Pres is being pretty arrogant, whiney and dismissive. ......

What else is new?

it may be to late then.

I heard Princess Diana and Tupac landed in Scalia's front lawn on a grassy knoll whilst flying their Malasian chemtrail plane... then they went in and offed the guy with the help of Elvis and GWBush 9/11 Area 51 holocaust vaccines autism global warming shroud of turin NWO moon landing roswell open carry is better than CC wallet.

Emmerich de Vattel was the author of the definitive textbook on government at the time of the Constitutional Convention. Washington is on record as having borrowed a copy from the British Parliament for the occasion. It clearly addresses the subject, and leaves neither Cruz nor Obama eligible to be president even before we consider statements from both Obama's grandmother and Obama himself declaring him to have been born in Kenya. Needless to say, he changed his story when he considered running for president, but, as I said, even if born in Hawaii, he did not meet the definition of 'natural born citizen' as understood and intended by our founders. The fact that this is clear in history and kept buried stands in hard evidence that the definition of 'natural born citizen' and the suggestion that it is fluid by virtue of the Constitution not having its own glossary installed at the end is thoroughly spurious and stands analogous with the "definition of 'is'" writ large.

You will notice the reference to 'parents' in the plural applied here, as well as specific reference to the national allegiance of the child's father.



Oh, and while I am at it, I could also point out that this punts 'anchor babies' right back across the southern border.

De Vattel's textbook was a reference available at the time period of the founding, which may or may not have been used in whole or in part during the drafting of some or all of the constitution. Regardless of how much it was or was not followed during the drafting, it is not a surrogate or a constraint for the constitution nor does it supersede later laws. Arguing that it is surrogate or constraint would be tantamount to arguing that the second amendment only protects the right to keep and bear black powder and edged weapons due to founding documents and reference materials only describing the use of those types of weapons.

The original intent of the Constitutional requirements for president was to prevent someone with foreign ties and sympathies from assuming the office. Those requirements could not prevent Obama from obtaining office nor should they be misused to keep Senator Cruz, who unlike Obama was born of two American parents whose sympathies lie with America, out of the office. It should also be pointed out that Cruz is not the first presidential candidate that was born on foreign soil, Senator McCain was as well among others.

Of all the presidential candidates, Senator Cruz has proven, both during his time as a Senator and as AG in Texas, to be the staunchest and most ardent defender of the Constitution. If your goal is to select a president to defend and restore the Constitution, then it is illogical and counterproductive to support a less ardent Constitutionalist based on a misunderstanding of the requirements for being president.

Have known this for many years.
This is how way to many rights/laws are altered or re-written.

Senator Cruz's father was not an American citizen at the time of his son's birth. Rafael Cruz became a naturalized US citizen in 2005.

Obama won't attend Antonin Scalia's funeral - POLITICO

 

[mrjarrell]

Well, now we know why Scalia died. It was divine intervention so that Ted Cruz could get elected to the presidency. That's Glenn Beck's take on it, anyway. Why anyone listens to this whackjob and pays any credence to what drops out of his mouth hole is beyond me. He is crazier than Alex Jones.

Glenn Beck is an amazing story teller, but he has absolutely no other redeeming value.

I'm surprised his support of Cruz doesn't turn voters away from him immediately. The day he talked down on our founding fathers for violent revolution, I was completely done listening to a single word he had to say.

Next we'll hear Alex Jones calling it a false flag operation.

I categorize Glen Beck somewhere in the same genre Alex Jones resides in. However, I'm not surprised that Glen Beck's breathing doesn't seem to affect people's general attitude towards breathing.
