The title of this fair post is what one of my state Senators has just told me regarding the issue of The Messiah’s reluctance to whip out a birth certificate and prove his citizenship.  Here is his response, with bonus interjected commentary by moi (emphasis all mine):

Dear Liberty Girl:

Thank you for contacting me regarding President-Elect Obama’s citizenship. I appreciate hearing from you and would like to respond to your concerns.

Like you, I believe that our federal government has the responsibility to make certain that the Constitution of the United States is not compromised. We must fight to uphold our Constitution through our courts and political processes. 

Article II of the Constitution provides that “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.” The Constitution, however, does not specify how that qualification for office is to be enforced.  As you may know, a voter recently raised this issue before a federal court in Pennsylvania. On October 24, 2008, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania released an order in the case of Berg v.Obama.In that case, the plaintiff, Phillip Berg, raised the same issue that your letter raises regarding proof of the President-Elect’s birthplace. Through his lawsuit, Mr. Berg sought to compel President-Elect Obama to produce a certified copy of his birth certificate. 

The District Court dismissed Mr. Berg’s suit and held that the question of Obama’s citizenship is not a matter for a court to decide. The court further noted that voters, not courts, should decide whether a particular presidential candidate is qualified to hold office.

Can any of you get your mind around that logic?  This is a Senator here, telling me that the courts do not have the authority to enforce the Constitution.  If he really, REALLY wants to go down that road then we surely can.  I hereby declare Marbury v. Madison a load of bunk, and every decision handed down for the past 200+ years is automatically made null and fucking void.   Further, Congress is to be immediately dissolved, and charged with perjury, grand larceny and any other fucking thing we can think up.  Every judge is disbarred, disrobed and to line up in the town square in an orderly fashion for tarring and feathering.  Oh yes, thank ex-Senator Martinez for your discomfort, fellas, he’s the one who made you all superfluous with his brilliant Constitutional scholarship.

Can I just tell you how much froth is emanating from Mister Liberty Girl’s jaws just now.

Presidential candidates are vetted by voters at least twice – first in the primary elections and again in the general election. President-Elect Obama won the Democratic Party’s nomination after one of the most fiercely contested presidential primaries in American history. And, he has now been duly elected by the majority of voters in the United States. Throughout both the primary and general election, concerns about Mr. Obama’s birthplace were raised. The voters have made clear their view that Mr. Obama meets the qualifications to hold the office of President.

If you’re referring here, Senator, to the 52s – those unwashed seal-huggers – then you’re seriously deluded if you believe they are capable of vetting their way out of a wet paper bag.  No voter vetted the Empty Suit.  They heard his pretty pretty words, saw he had more than the typical amount of melanin, and leaped for the Historical Significance Train with both feet.  

After he is sworn into office, Mr. Obama will be our nation’s President and I intend to bestow upon him the honor and respect due any man who holds that Office.

As my 23 regular readers know, I sure as hell don’t.  They would first need to EARN that respect, and this clownshoes hasn’t done a bloody thing other than consort with would-be terrorists and attach himself firmly to the government teat.

Yet, I am certain that there will be times when I will disagree and oppose President Obama’s policies. When that happens, you can be assured that I will pursue vigorously what I believe to be in the best interest of Florida and the nation. 

Like this time, RIGHT FUCKING HERE, you mean?  Oh, huzzah.  I will sleep so very soundly tonight knowing that.

I thank you for sharing your views with me and will keep your concerns in mind. If you have additional questions or comments, please contact me. For more information about issues and activities important to Florida, please sign up for my weekly newsletter at http://martinez.senate.gov.

Sincerely,

Mel Martinez

United States Senator

UPDATE:  Mister Liberty Girl just pinged me from work, Senator Martinez will NOT be seeking a second term in office.
