From all the pictures I have ever seen of him, I would guess more drugs. He is one spaced-out hipster.

Boy does remind of some of the tools I knew back in the day...when I was dealing coke to support my heroin habit. His ilk weren't hipsters, much as they wanted to be...Male Escorts was, I think, the term. Decent customers...just never give them credit.

Funny comment at Donofrio's site:

Fearless reader Starbeau was upset that Bill O'Reilly and Karl Rove were so dismissive of birthers. So Strarbeau wrote to Rove, who responded:

Rove wrote:

No, you’re wrong. He was born in Honolulu, the son of a US citizen. That makes him a US citizen.
The president likes having some conservatives stuck on arguing he’s not a citizen because the vast majority of Americans accept that he is and it takes time away from conservatives making the case against his failing policies.

Let’s turn our attention to the more important issues.

Not happy with this response, Starbeau pressed and received this answer:

Rove wrote:

He is the legal president.
Someone born to an American mother on US soil is a natural born US citizen. [highlight]You can’t find a single instance where a court has held otherwise[/highlight].

Don’t fall into Obama’s trap and waste valuable time on this side show. Let’s keep focused on the issues we were are right and the people are with us.

Still not happy, Starbeau further pressed, and received:

Rove wrote:

again, [highlight]you cannot give a single example of where someone born on US soil of a US mother and a father who is a foreign national has been held by a US court NOT to be a citizen[/highlight].

Rove wrote:

I repeat: no court has ever held that someone born on US soil of a US mother and a father who is a foreign national is anything but a US citizen

Reap/sow, Rove!

Donofrio has a new posting: We were sooooooooo wrong in OldCarCo!

Kidding! Donofrio has yet to admit defeat.

New posting; a two-fer: Justice Hugo Black in DUNCAN v LOUISIANA Indicates Obama Would Not Be Eligible: Ineligibility Echoed by Former Attorney General Jeremiah Black

1. Donofrio says Justice Black (him with his "colorful" past) would rule Obama was not an natural born citizen. In Duncan v. Louisiana, SCOTUS ruled the 6th Amendment's right to a jury trial applied to the states via the 14th Amendment. In his concurring opinion, Black said all the rights guaranteed by the Bill of Rights apply to the states as well ("total incorporation" in the biz), and stated a preference for giving weight to the intent of the 14th Amendment's sponsors. Which to Donofrio means Bingham, who Donofrio believes believed in the two-parent requirement. QED.

2. Donofrio cites a pre-Civil War U.S. Attorney General. Which is totally not quote mining. Noooooo sir.

Off-topic, slightly -

True story: Hugo Black and my paternal grandfather were cousins. The Klan story (Justice Black's "colorful" past) doesn't surprise me in the least because a lot of southern men, from every level of society, flirted with them back in the day, including my grandfather and at least a couple of his brothers. They tried to justify it by saying it wasn't just about white supremacy, oh noooooo, perish the thought. The example my father once used to explain it to me was that if it was discovered a man (even a white man) was, say, beating his wife, the local Klan members would don their regalia and pay him a visit to "encourage" him to behave. According to my old grandpappy, they were just concerned citizens, y'see, looking out for the weaker members of their community. :roll:

No, I didn't buy it either.

Justice Black became interested in genealogy in his later years and he and his wife used to periodically make trips to Oglethorpe County, GA (where my dad still lives) to look for the lost Black family cemetery. I say "lost" because the cemetery was swallowed up by dense forest in the area by the 1930s. It's still deeply rural in that part of Georgia and over the years seems to have become more so, rather than less.

Justice Black wasn't any more successful in locating that cemetery than my father and I were over the last 30 or so years. It was finally discovered and verified, in a derelict state deep in the woods, in 2009 by a cousin of mine who is heavily involved with the Sons of the American Revolution and who has spent years looking for it. The cemetery is kind of the Holy Grail of Black family researchers who have late 18th/early 19th century ancestors who were known or believed to have settled in that part of Georgia, either permanently or temporarily before moving on to points west.

Left a simple question for Donofrio:

Have you read Afroyim v. Rusk, 387 U.S. 253 (1967) (opn. by Black, J.)?

I'm guessing no, he hasn't, and he'll just delete the comment.

Donofrio awakens!: Bon Appetit Birth Certificate…

Quote:

I predicted multiple times that President Obama would produce the original long form birth certificate when it best served him to do so. Today that prophecy was fulfilled. I have always maintained that the birth certificate issue was a red herring smoke screen protecting Obama from facing the true issue of his ineligibility – dual nationality.

[...]

I predicted over and again that when it served Obama best, he would feed you an original birth certificate on national TV. Bon appetit to those who allowed this conspiracy theory to take precedence over the genuine legal issue: how a person born owing certain allegiance to a foreign nation can be a natural born citizen of the United States?. Since the BC was played so perfectly by the Obama team, the genuine legal issue will now be more marginalized than ever.

They simply played a better game of chess. And due to this sick game, Obama now sets a precedent that anyone who hates this country, from Osama Bin Laden to Kim Jong Il, can have a child with an American woman and that child can be President. Obama’s defeat of the dual nationality issue, in both the courts and the media, means that the President’s parents do not have to be US citizens. If that is true, then the natural born citizen requirement in Article 2 Section 1 of the Constitution is basically rendered meaningless.

[...]

The BC was a conspiracy theory. The dual nationality issue is a legal question. Obama always controlled the issue of whether or not he would produce the BC. But the legal issue was never under his control. So he exercised as much control over it as possible by allowing the birth certificate to fester casting a huge shadow over his dual allegiance. Well played, sir.

Oh: I asked for an update on OldCarCo.

Sterngard Friegen · **Posted:** Wed Apr 27, 2011 12:37 pm

Hey, Leo. When in your view would the hate have to be manifested? Before impregnation? During impregnation? After impregnation?

Are we going to hook up loyalty meters to every person of fertility in the United States and follow them around?

Can you tell me where having relatives who love this country is a constitutional requirement for eligibility?

Or are we simply going to decide that American citizens can't hate their country. So, it's not OK that Obama be elected president. But if Timothy McVeigh had children -- what?

Show Spoiler

I have always loved the fact that birfers seem to think that the only thing standing between Osama bin Laden's son with an American and the Presidency, is the NBC clause.

Whoops, there goes a bunch of support. Lets see, what can we bring up next? Oh yeah, as an artist I once wrote a journal called Onelovestory where [highlight]I claimed the drummer from my favorite rock and roll band was the Messiah and that I was the Paraclete (aka the Holy Ghost)[/highlight].

I think this post was really just an excuse for Donofrio to say, "I won 4.8 large playin' poker!"

I have seen a ton of different photos of Leo, over the past couple years. Dozens and dozens of different photos.

But I've never seen him smiling. :-k

This will really upset the birthers coming from their prophet

Quote:

The SCOTUS doesn’t care about Obama’s eligibility issue so the precedent now appears to be that a natural born citizen is one born in the US to at least one citizen parent. I hope that goalpost does not move further to accommodate Rubio or Jindal, neither of whom had even one citizen parent at the time of their birth.

Logic and law are really not their strong suits, are they? ](*,)

Edit: ETA law

Edit: It would never occur to these racists that the "precedent" was set long since, in that every president has been native born. PERIOD. Without respect to parental citizenship. As required by the constitution.

And the idea that SCOTUS could establish new legal precedent by the tacit action of 'not caring' about something is just too laughable.

No, Mario Apuzzo a/k/a The Putz is Kerchner's "attorney."

Falsehoods unchallenged only fester and grow.
