The Federal Courts Are Committing

Treason to the Constitution per Chief

Justice John Marshall

Per the great U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John

Marshall, the federal courts and judges are committing
treason to the Constitution by not taking jurisdiction
and getting to the merits in the various cases before
them regarding the Article II eligibility clause question
for Obama.

It is worth keeping in mind the words of U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Marshall
when he wrote in Cohens v. Virginia 19 US 264 (1821):

"It is most true that this Court will not take jurisdiction if it should not: but it is equally
true, that it must take jurisdiction if it should. The judiciary cannot, as the legislature
may, avoid a measure because it approaches the confines of the constitution. We
cannot pass it by because it is doubtful. With whatever doubts, with whatever
difficulties, a case may be attended, we must decide it, if it be brought before us. We
have no more right to decline the exercise of jurisdiction which is given, than to usurp
that which is not given. The one or the other would be treason to the constitution.
Questions may occur which we would gladly avoid; but we cannot avoid them. All we
can do is, to exercise our best judgment, and conscientiously to perform our duty. In
doing this, on the present occasion, we find this tribunal invested with appellate
jurisdiction in all cases arising under the constitution and laws of the United States.
We find no exception to this grant, and we cannot insert one."

The Judges in the various Obama Article II Constitutional eligibility cases should simply
read the words of the great U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Marshall from the past and
take jurisdiction of the constitutional question of the Article II eligibility clause in the
Constitution and proceed to a fact finding hearing and trial on the merits to see if Obama
is Constitutionally eligible or not. I say Obama is NOT eligible. Obama was born a
British Subject. Obama's father was not a U.S. citizen nor was he even an immigrant to
the USA. The DNC covered up for Obama. Congress failed in their duty to vet Obama's
eligibility. Congress said this is a legal matter for the courts. We need the federal courts
to take the cases, get to the merits, and get a U.S. Supreme Court ruling to settle this.
