Nice try

SACRAMENTO, Calif.- A former opponent of Barack Obama's has come back to haunt him over questions regarding Obama's citizenship.

According to a press release from the American Independent Party, former presidential candidate Alan Keyes and other members of the party have filed suit in California Superior Court in Sacramento to stop the state from giving its electoral votes to President-elect Barack Obama until documentary evidence is provided to prove Obama is indeed a natural born citizen of the United States. A copy of the writ can be found here.

Too little, too late.

Still, it's an interesting thought experiment. What if undeniable evidence was produced that the little messiah was not a US citizen?

The people who make up the Democrat party base don't think the constitution is relevant (except for the parts that aren't actually there like abortion rights and gay marriage) so they wouldn't care.

But what about the rest of us? What about the courts? What about the GOP, would they even try to do anything?

Or should anyone try to do anything. Obama may be a hard socialist but there is evidence that he has a brain. Biden is a soft socialist but he most definitely doesn't have a brain.

It's like the question that one of the camp inmates posed in Solzhenitsyn's Gulag Archipelago
if the mother's a whore and the father's an idiot will the children be fed or go hungry?
