Sometimes it takes one to know one: Constitution Party presidential candidate Chuck Baldwin posted an interesting commentary taking shots at other wingnuts obsessed with overturning the election based on an imaginary constitutional technicality. Baldwin notes that the "natural born Citizen" requirement would have applied to John McCain more convincingly than it would to Obama:
But, again, most conservatives care little about the Constitution’s requirement that a President be a "natural born Citizen." Like liberals, most conservatives are afflicted with a very debilitating disease that I call Selective Constitutionalism. They only want to apply constitutional government when it helps Republicans or hurts Democrats. Most of them really could not care less about adherence to the Constitution. If they did, they would have been up in arms for the last eight years as President George W. Bush repeatedly ignored–and even trampled–the U.S. Constitution.
Ironically Baldwin defeated the bilious blowhard Alan Keyes for the Constitution Party nomination last summer, and the latter has been leading the charge for overturning the election as a complainant who ran as an independent candidate on the presidential ballot in California. Since Alan Keyes is so intent upon using the courts to void the election result, I wonder how he is going to feel when the Supreme Court of California overturns Proposition 8.
