Having been a victim of a racially corrupt judge and prosecutor, my heart goes out to Jesse Merrell.
After Federal Judge James Robertson dismissed his request for Barack Obama to prove his Hawaiian birth, Merrell shared his sentiments in writing with Judge Robertson:
“How dare people use a flimsy thing like the Constitution to darken your sanctimonious door!… The insane idea that a blue-gum baboon slashing our Constitution has to prove U.S. citizenship – as our silly old Constitution demands – is too absurd to consider in the sacred chambers of the tiny tin gods of the Potomac, adorning the royal purple and sipping Jim Jones Kool-Aid.
“Thanks to smug, slimy shysters like you, Obama gets a free ride – snootily stomping on our foolish Constitution, which supercilious idiots like you have long ago shredded for their own stupid opinions!”
Instead of celebrating Merrell’s First Amendment right, Judge Robertson dispatched US Marshall’s to Merrell’s home.
As a retired LAPD officer and licensed investigator, I’m skeptical of conspiracy theories. In this case, however, I’m confused by Obama’s apparent refusal or inability to present convincing proof of his American birth.
Birth certificates are not a new concept. When Helen Lim was born in San Francisco’s insular Chinatown in 1908, her certificate of live birth recorded the names and birth places of her parents, the attending physician, along with seals and signatures. Despite their humble beginnings, Elvis Presley’s parents were also able to secure a credible certificate.
Like Helen and Barack, I was born to parents who were born on other continents. Like Obama’s father, my mother was not a legal US resident. Like Helen, my parents were able to secure my birth certificate. While Helen and I can produce easily verifiable certificates, President Obama either cannot produce proof of his US birth, or refuses to.
Helen Lim and I were both born in California. Elvis was born in Mississippi. Were Hawaiian certificates different during the 1960s?
Apparently not. While this Hawaiian birth certificate has the same information found in my certificate, Obama’s certificate contains almost no useable or verifiable information. What clouds Obama’s birth even more is that subsequent public notices may have also been forged.
As a police officer and US Marine who once held a Top Secret security clearance, I understand the US Government’s concern about social unrest if Obama is removed from office for constitutional reasons. Obama has a much bigger profile than Rodney King – whose arrest ignited riots that cost Los Angeles residents $2 billion in damage and lost revenues. If Obama and the Democrat Party are found to have used fraud to elect America’s first foreign born US president, the LA riots could look polite by comparison.
As a career investigator, I can’t tell whether Obama was born in the United States or not. But as easy as it is for me, Helen, and Elvis to produce our own certificates, it’s hard to imagine why Obama would rather fight these lawsuits than produce his own verifiable birth certificate.
In this case, Jesse Merrell may have good reason to express contempt for Judge Robertson’s court. It’s also remarkable that Robertson would send Barney Fife to threaten Merrell with arrest for expressing his understandable (and apparently well-founded) contempt.
James Robertson may be a federal judge, but he has also sworn to protect and defend the US Constitution. Having failed in that responsibility, Jesse Merrell has a right to show as much contempt for Robertson’s court as Obama now shows to America’s citizens.
