Irrepressible loudmouth Alan Keyes, the American Independent Party’s 2008 presidential candidate, and his running mate, Baptist Pastor Wiley Drake, are plaintiffs in a lawsuit knocking around California courts that claims Barack Obama cannot be sworn in as president because his father was a British citizen and that California's electoral votes should be withheld pending further clarification by the courts. Several other cases are also winding through the nation’s courts in what Drake characterized as a coordinated effort he started to prevent the Jan. 20 inauguration of "the first illegal-alien president in U.S. history."
When a reporter asked him about the recent Supreme Court decision not to hear a similar case from New Jersey, Wiley Drake speculated the justices were fearful of riots and as evidence he cited the fact that they didn't post their decision until Monday:
"I’ve been pretty keenly aware of what’s going on in the Supreme Court. You’ll notice the date when they decided the case would go to conference was on a Friday. Typically, if you go to conference, you take a vote, thumbs up and down, whether to schedule for a hearing. They knew that a lot of people would be discouraged if they made an announcement Friday that they would not take the case. Washington, D.C., is a powder keg. They knew they’d already be at happy hour Friday afternoon and be drunk. Even if a ballgame goes one way or another, they start burning stuff because they are drunk. I think the Supreme Court put the case off until Monday because they knew people would have hangovers and not be drunk."
I'd like to know where Pastor Wiley goes on Friday afternoons (I'll bet it isn't church).
