The GOP base is too extreme. Says.....Pat Robertson.

Trust me. Some Secretary of State in some state is going to require that all candidates submit a certified birth certificate before they'll be placed on the state ballot in the next election.

I don't think so. That's already been tried, and failed, in 13 state legislatures, with Gov. Brewer famously vetoing Arizona's birther bill back in April, a few weeks before Pres. Obama released his long form birth certificate.
Legal scholars were pretty much in agreement that such a move would be ruled unconstitutional - an encroachment of states into federal jurisdiction. Jan Brewer perhaps summed it up best, when she said she'd never imagined such a bill arriving on her desk: "it's a bridge too far."
Indeed.

Seems the President is striking back.

I accept your viewpoint. Saw Perry on the news last night and he did make sure that this BS over Obama's birth remained "open". Idiot.
