Excerpt:
"Over the years, there have been legislative attempts to redefine the constitutional eligibility requirement for the presidency to permit foreign-born candidates to run for the office.
None of those efforts has been successful, yet, by default, American courts and the U.S. Congress have turned their backs on the Constitution by simply ignoring thorny questions about eligibility.
Think about this.
With all of the busybody meddling the courts and Congress have perpetrated on the states and the American people, they have demonstrated no interest in ensuring the Constitution is followed on one of the most fundamental principles enunciated regarding who can serve as president of the United States.
It’s almost surreal.
That may be about to change as a request to the U.S. Supreme Court has been made by the United States Justice Department for a review of the matter.
Make no mistake about this. This is a matter that is far more important than the controversies surrounding Barack Obama. It goes to the very heart of what kind of a country we will have in the future – one under the rule of law or one under the evolving rule of political inertia and happenstance.
Given all I have witnessed over the last four years, I am not optimistic that the Supreme Court will take up such a review or, even less likely, affirm the clear meaning of the Constitution.
I have said from the beginning, doubts about Obama and the active cover-up he and his lawyers have pursued make this issue so politically charged that America may not be able to sort this through for years or even decades to come.
However, thanks to the investigation of a courageous sheriff in Arizona, the issue of Obama’s deception is not going away.
There is no time like the present, on the eve of another presidential nominating process and election, for the American people to be heard on this issue.
That’s why WND has begun circulating a petition to Congress for a full and complete investigation of the shocking facts that have allowed Obama to hold office for nearly four years without establishing his constitutional bona fides. Please take the time to add your name to the list and spread the petition among your friends – through Facebook, Twitter, email and word of mouth."
