"I, [NAME], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will administer justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the rich, and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me as [TITLE] under the Constitution and laws of the United States. So help me God." So help me God... This means that without regard to the individual, his political affiliations, his economic status, his race, his religion, his popularity or his agenda, every member of the court has taken an oath to equally uphold the US Constitution and all laws which rest upon that foundation, no matter the outcome. To refuse to carry out this basic duty is a direct violation of their oath of office. And while this applies to every member of the US courts, it is particularly true for the Chief Justice, who alone must issue the oath of office to the incoming president. To issue that oath of office to a man known to be running from the truth regarding his constitutional eligibility, and potentially his national loyalties, is to fail the most fundamental test of equal justice. What is Chief Justice Roberts to do? It is wholly impossible that Roberts is not aware of Obama’s current ineligibility for the office he is about to be sworn into. Obama might become eligible, by delivering his official birth records to support his compliance with Article II Section I. But so far, he has spent a million dollars in legal fees avoiding the topic instead. If Chief Justice Roberts proceeds with administering the oath of office under these conditions, he will join the Obama camp and the Democrat Party in their efforts to defraud the American people by seating a president who has refused to adhere to constitutional requirements for the office of president. If he attempts to stop the fraud from going forward, he will undoubtedly face enormous outrage and opposition from sea to shining sea. All of it can be avoided if Obama would simply deliver his official records. But a million dollars in legals fees later, it is clear that Obama has no intention of complying with the constitutional requirements of the office he seeks. One of two things will happen over the next nine days. Either Justice Roberts will uphold his oath of office by requiring Obama, like any other presidential candidate, to meet his constitutional obligations for office, or he won’t... The American people MUST understand that if Article II Section I of the constitution is to be ignored for sake of political expediency, - then all of the powers and rights enumerated in that document and taken for granted by every American are null and void, for the sake of political expediency. The future of the free republic rests on this set of insane circumstances. The American people will emerge from the next nine days with their constitution intact, or they will wake up on January 20th in a country they have never known. The next nine days are critical to the survival of constitutional law and the free republic as it has existed for more than 230 years. How many Americans still care? And is Justice Roberts one of them?
