Here We Go: Politico’s Anonymous Sources Claim Herman Cain Accused of Inappropriate Behavior By Two Women In 1990s…
It’s tough to take this seriously when Politico can’t find a single person willing to go on the record.
(Politico) — During Herman Cain’s tenure as the head of the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s, at least two female employees complained to colleagues and senior association officials about inappropriate behavior by Cain, ultimately leaving their jobs at the trade group, multiple sources confirm to POLITICO.
The women complained of sexually suggestive behavior by Cain that made them angry and uncomfortable, the sources said, and they signed agreements with the restaurant group that gave them financial payouts to leave the association. The agreements also included language that bars the women from talking about their departures.
In a series of comments over the past 10 days, Cain and his campaign repeatedly declined to respond directly about whether he ever faced allegations of sexual harassment at the restaurant association. They have also declined to address questions about specific reporting confirming that there were financial settlements in two cases in which women leveled complaints.
POLITICO has confirmed the identities of the two female restaurant association employees who complained about Cain but, for privacy concerns, is not publishing their names.
Cain spokesman J.D. Gordon told POLITICO the candidate indicated to campaign officials that he was “vaguely familiar” with the charges and that the restaurant association’s general counsel had resolved the matter.
The latest statement came from Cain himself. In a tense sidewalk encounter Sunday morning outside the Washington bureau of CBS News — where the Republican contender had just completed an interview on “Face the Nation” — Cain evaded a series of questions about sexual harassment allegations.
Cain said he has “had thousands of people working for me” at different businesses over the years and could not comment “until I see some facts or some concrete evidence.” His campaign staff was given the name of one woman who complained last week, and it was repeated to Cain on Sunday. He responded, “I am not going to comment on that.”
He was then asked, “Have you ever been accused, sir, in your life of harassment by a woman?”
He breathed audibly, glared at the reporter and stayed silent for several seconds. After the question was repeated three times, he responded by asking the reporter, “Have you ever been accused of sexual harassment?”
Cain was president and CEO of the National Restaurant Association from late 1996 to mid-1999. POLITICO learned of the allegations against him, and over the course of several weeks, has put together accounts of what happened by talking to a lengthy roster of former board members, current and past staff and others familiar with the workings of the trade group at the time Cain was there.
In one case, POLITICO has seen documentation describing the allegations and showing that the restaurant association formally resolved the matter. Both women received separation packages that were in the five-figure range.

“The agreements also included language that bars the women from talking about their departures.”
Forever? That’s a pretty tight agreement.
Hey, liberals it didn’t work with Clarence.
wow, that sure didn’t take long did it?
Were the 2 women Anita, and Hill??
All I can say is this is going to create a massive backlash, because I was one of those idiot dems during the Thomas hearing that actually believed Anita Hill, and so was disgusted by Clarence Thomas.
Now I look back and I get disgusted at what they did to Clarence Thomas, and I now see they are doing the same to Herman Cain. And this is even worse, all anonymous, and right on schedule by the hating liberal media.
damn, but i hate shit like this……put up or shut up…no smears and no claims about what’s “appropriate”.
so is Politico going to be covering how Obama had “bros before hoes” songs playing at his campaign rallies, how he loves to call female reporters “sweeties”??
This is the left, race means everything, the women will be white
I have been waiting 3 friggin’ years to say: RAAAACIST!
This wont end well
Too bad the MFM couldn’t be bothered to find one of Obama’s girlfriends from back in the day leading up to the election.
Oh wait, he had none. Hmmm…
Larry Sinclair testified at the freeking National Press Club and wrote a goddamn book! There were at least two gay choir member former lovers of Obama (part of Wright’s DLC or Down Low Club) who were murdered just before the campaign… one who Wright announced in his so-called church before the Chicago Coroner’s office pronounced him dead. Obama belonged to Man’s Country gay club in Chicago…
yet Politico has 2 unnamed sources who won’t go on the record?
Was Herman in the “waitress sandwich” with chris dodd and ted kennedy?
Prolly not. Too much salami.
Wow, cedarbark, @ 9:03, did his homework. Thanks for the very accurate and timely recap cedar.
So POLITICO is going to play this for maximum effect, in coordination with certain “reporters” and “talkers.” The women and their stories will ultimately be interviewed, after appropriate coaching. The goal is maximum damage to Cain.
I smell Axelrod.
cedarbark can shove Larry Sinclair up his ass. Sinclair will be right at home when full of shit.

They are going to try to lynch me, he said it.
We new it before he said it.
Sing it again, Anita.
Hey if it’s only about sex no problem…right.
“It’s a non-story.”
Well, actually its a story that will have the opposite effect of what the lefty politicos wanted… it will help Cain more.
I’m pissed at them, and I’m still not sold on Cain, not because I don’t think he is a consitutional conservative, but I’m not sold on how he’ll fare in the general when the real attacks start; that being said, the more they go after Cain, while the liberal mainstream media not coddled but protected their Marxist Messaih, the more I want to root and get behind Cain.

This should lock up the I miss Bill Clinton vote. If it works like it did in 1992 say hey to President Cain.
the dems are scared NOW, they always keep this card in their back pocket….. completely baseless im sure, but they love to play it to distract attention.
Donald Young, Larry Bland, Nate Spencer, all young black gay men in the TCC choir were murdered execution style all within 40 days of one another beginning Nov 2007, and all were tied to intimate relations with Barack Obama.

They have archived all the rezko stories, all the stories on how Me-chelle lost her law license… oh yes, all this info the liberal media won’t touch, but hey with a repub or conservative, its all open season, with no proof to back up anything.
Totally believable. I’m so sorry that so many of his fan club are feeling so butt hurt over it. Really I am.

@Trialdog
“I smell Axelrod.”
or
Rove.
Rove floated the Anne Richards lesbian rumors when W was first running for Texas Gov.
It’s a story until it dies. The MSM will pump life into it forever. Apparently the One doesn’t relish running against a Black American who is unquestionably black and an authentic American, that or the Flipper is trying to do Cain in.
That said, I’m waiting for the pube in on the pizza testimony.
They’ve identified the threat that they fear the most.
It certainly appears that way.
Cain and his campaign repeatedly declined to respond directly…
The MSM won’t let this die.
If Cain were smart, which he is not, he would head this off at the pass now.
Pizza Pubes!
In today’s PC Corpoorate Environment, you can say something like ” You dressed nice for business today ” and your ass will be in a sling.
I have personally been involved where a chick made it clear she was trolling for a law suit. She claimed one of my staff had made an inappropriate comment 6 months earlier and I was interviewed by HR and had to make a written statement.
The funny thing, I was on vacation when the supposed incident happened. I had no freaking clue what they were even talking about. I am not sure what happens to her. But she left about two weeks after I was interviewed.
She was also the most worthless person in the whole group. She did F ing nothing and did not get fired.

USA Patriot,

Not Cain obviously. I’m uncommitted but leaning towards Rick Perry.
I really wonder if the liberal mainstream media has figured out that the american public has figured out their patterns. I remember when Mccain was nominated, it was all for propping him up as a moderate, as a maverick, as soon as he became the nominee, bam! the next week the NYT ran a front page edotorial on some supposed mistress he had that was a lobbyist, so all that momemtum was getting the repub nomination was gone.
Same with Bob Mcdonneld, they dug up a 20+ paper from college from him to attack that he was against women, and there are so many examples, heck, I’m never used to be that much of a politico until 2008 when I figured out and paid attention.
deceptions only work when people trust that source and believe they are being fed truth and not deceptions, that is no longer the case though.
forget it. it ain’t a liberal tactic. it’s a political one.
J Edgar used to do this shit all the time.
and hey politico… look into mikey bloomberg’s past… lawsuits from women galore… all hidden by the liberal mainstream media, and in his case these women will give interviews and go on the record, though no liberal mainstream media wants to go after their fellow lefties.
Anonymous sources only, but this will lead every MSM broadcast tomorrow, guaranteed. Meanwhile, the Socialist, class warfare, anti-Israel agenda continues full steam ahead with nary a peep from the liberal media. What a country!
it was done to Warren Harding
it was done to FDR
it was done to JFK
it was done to LBJ (you can ask Jonah Goldberg’s mom about that one)
a former dem – i’ve been searching the hill44 site and wonder how to find the articles about michelle loosing her license
If there’s a pube on the soda, his chances are ovah!
Anita Hill unavailable for comment.
Here is Herman Cain’s problem, If the story is true Politio dumped it on sunday night which means it leads on monday morning.
They say they have seen the legal docs and have the names of the women.
Cain alluded to this in May using the cryptic “hightech lynchng” Thomas quote. It means Cain new this was coming at some point and yet his team doesn’t seem to be handling it very well…but it’s early yet.
“Particuarly difficult for Cain is that the Politico report claims that an actual settlement was reached on the matter:
In one case, POLITICO has seen documentation describing the allegations and showing that the restaurant association formally resolved the matter. Both women received separation packages that were in the five-figure range.
If the allegations are indeed false, then the Cain campaign better be able to elaborate about what was specifically false in the story. Simply blaming the “establishment” for trying to take him down, won’t cut it outside of his die hard fan base….”

Welcome to the Big Leagues Mr. Cain…
And the high-tech lynching begins…..
teacake
there’s a text search box on left, but I’m not sure how good their query system it, those articles I remember from were late 2007 or early 2008, the undemocratic primaries were in full swing then.
here is another puma site that has search abilities, its been around for 3, 4 years, it probably has links to those articles.
Both sites if I remember correctly, archived it on their servers, not just links, since those were most likely scrubbed.
http://riverdaughter.wordpress.com/
I’ll search as well, as soon as I find it, I’ll post it.
Teacake–she didn’t lose it. she gave it up.
the website of the Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission of the Supreme Court of Illinois ((https://www.iardc.org/ldetail.asp?id=847688734)) says that Michelle Obama was admitted to the Illinois State Bar Association on May 12, 1989, but she is no longer authorized to practice law because she voluntarily surrendered (“voluntarily inactive”) her license on some unspecified date for unspecified reason(s).
http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/2010/09/16/barack-michelle-gave-up%C2%A0law%C2%A0license/
The atmosphere in the White House is being described as one of great confusion…….
This ALWAYS worked in Chicago…….
Hey “Anonymous” source…….come out in the light or STFU!
it’s also being described as mostly nitrogen and oxygen
“her license on some unspecified date for unspecified reason(s).”
I think this is because her whitey episode, there were charges that were pending, and she gave it up inside since Barry was running for the senate, and that’s why she and Valerie Jarrett went to work at the hospital in the patient dumping scheme (aka to make the hospital more efficient), and as soon as Barry become a senator, she got a 300K raise… so giving up the law license didn’t hurt, it was just a stepping stone.
@teacake
“a former dem – i’ve been searching the hill44 site and wonder how to find the articles about michelle loosing her license”
Try the obamafiles achives or even citizen wells?
Michelle lot her law license over the hospital flap…Obama lost his as well which is why he only clerked instead of tried cases at that law firm (Unheard of with a former editor of law review at Harvard.) speculation is that it has to do with Obama never legally changing his name from Barry Soetoro?
I actually gave no credibility to the story until this:
It’s Cain’s answer. When asked if he’d ever been accused of sexual harrassment. It could’ve been “Yes, it was a misunderstanding & is settled.” or something of the sort. Instead he hesitated for several seconds and said, “Have YOU ever been accused of sexual harassment?”
This left it as a Yes in my mind and now gives credence to the story. He essentially gave a Yes, but with no additional explanation. It could have been exactly a misunderstanding on the parts of the women but he didn’t say that. It leaves it open for speculation and further scrutiny. He could have ended it right there.
Now, what concerns me more is the payback (Cronyism) that comes for all his years of D.C. Lobbying and hiring other Lobbyists for them:
“Revelations about the settlements come as members of the association’s board planned to meet this month to talk about ways to use the organization’s clout to boost Cain’s campaign.
Ideas to be discussed included making a donation to Cain from the organization’s political action committee, which typically doesn’t contribute to presidential campaigns, and, more significantly, organizing a fundraiser for his campaign.”
Michelle Obama Loses Law License
Did you know that our First Lady Michelle Obama lost her law license back in 1993? Oh sure I knew that, “NOT.” Sure, I saw this on the front page of the New York Times during the elections of 2008, “NOT.” I’ve listed below from the State of Illinois’s website of the court action against Michelle forcing her to give up her license. It’s understood that in the box attacked below under Malpractice Insurance – “No malpractice report required as attorney is under court order inactive status.”
In other words Michelle was under court order to give up her license and is not allowed to practice law in Illinois, period. I hate to use this word but its “rumored” that she was extorting clients. Again, it’s “rumored!” It’s also “rumored” that our President Barack Obama may have been disciplined for not divulging other names that he has used in the past. That really concerns me. He also has an inactive Illinois license to practice law (listed below).
This is so unfortunate for the Obama’s, after all they are our first family and he is the first black/white President of the United States but I can’t stop thinking that this guy and his wife are not who they say they are. They don’t seem to uphold the integrity of our past first families, yes, even Richard Nixon for all you lefties out there.

A complete fabrication. But hats off on the ability to make a crisis out of actually NOTHING. No evidence, no names, and a speachless Herman Cain because he just didn’t think this would happen to him since he’s NOT a politician. Wow, the Politico clowns are actually magicians!
Hang in there Herminator…it will get worse before it gets better for all of us!!!
Neither Barry or Mooch has their law license, looks like Mooch ducked an investigation by relinquishing her license. Barry has no transcripts, no law license, fake social security number, foreign dad…
Congress must be being blackmailed with their own pizza pube stories or had threats to get cement shoes, for they say nary a word about this total fraud who WILL bring down the USA.
Here is what Politico wrote in one of its articles on Larry Sinclair. “Politico isn’t reprinting Sinclair’s allegations because they are unsubstantiated. ” http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0608/11164.html
Also, remember the NY Times endorsed McCain (Republican primary) and then after he clinched the nomination released a “sex scandal” they had been sitting on.
Dan Rather used fake documents against George Bush.
friday—-you didn’t actually read that link did you?
you didn’t notice that it said “VOLUNTARILY INACTIVE”
or note that it said
Public Record of Discipline and Pending Proceedings:
None
you don’t know anything about this and don’t know that she had to apply to the court to surrender the license …
I actually gave no credibility to the story until this:
It’s Cain’s answer. When asked if he’d ever been accused of sexual harrassment. It could’ve been “Yes, it was a misunderstanding & is settled.” or something of the sort. Instead he hesitated for several seconds and said, “Have YOU ever been accused of sexual harassment?” If it had been untrue, he would have said so-an outright “No”
This left it as a Yes and now gives credence to the story. He essentially gave a Yes, but with no additional explanation. It could have been exactly a misunderstanding on the parts of the women but he didn’t say that. It leaves it open for speculation and further scrutiny. He could have ended it right there.
I believe he didn’t know how to answer, that it was true but isn’t sure if it will come back and bite him if he embellishes on a Yes answer. Or if further details could be found out. A settlement in the five-figure range is also a pretty high settlement amount.
Now, what also concerns is the payback (Cronyism) that comes for all his years of D.C. Lobbying and hiring other Lobbyists for them:
“Revelations about the settlements come as members of the association’s board planned to meet this month to talk about ways to use the organization’s clout to boost Cain’s campaign.
Ideas to be discussed included making a donation to Cain from the organization’s political action committee, which typically doesn’t contribute to presidential campaigns, and, more significantly, organizing a fundraiser for his campaign.”
Not that this isn’t done but a board who doesn’t give presidential campaign contributions nor organize fundraisers for them, yet who does it now, shows a payback.
moderate/conservative dems now ex-dems
that’s me too but my awakening was about 10 or 12 years ago. lol
thanks for the info former dem
From what I remember reading Michelle Obama gave up her license when she was appointed to head the board at that hospital in Chicago. It was a conflict of interest thingy and she was asked by the bar to make a choice so she surrendered her license to practice law in Illinois. She can resume it whenever she likes. I think Obama’s case is different though and goes back to before he entered politics and before he taught at the Chicago College but all his records have been sealed (And losing his license might be partof it)
for those that haven’t kept track Chucky todd used to be the senior editor for the Politico before moving onto Msnbs, so the pattern is set, politico floats up something, and then Msnbs runs with it, then nbs runs with it, nyt runs with it, then pbs runs with it. That’s how its done.
what’s even creepier cedarbark is obama might be hiding his birth certificate not because of where he was born, but its possible his father was Malcolm X. There’s a youtube slide show with Malcolm and his family side by side with obama and his daughters and the resemblance really are remarkable.

Cain should have asked the reporter, “Have you stopped being a liberal stooge?”
I think Cain just sealed his own fate with his statement to AP. We’ll see.
I dunno IF and it’s a big IF Politico has seen the legal documents of the settlement then Cain could be in trouble because that isn’t exactly “thinly sourced” if you get my drift.
his die-hard supporters might stay with him but he will tank in the polls…It all depends on the big IF and the Cain Team’s response(s) to the story.
It gets ugly…Politics ain’t beanbag
Propaganda is not just making suggestions to the voters. Sometimes it’s outright lying for political gain.
If Cain decides to sue for slander, Democrats should take note of who’s sitting on the Supreme Court. (a former target of their smear campaigns)
Sure Politico is hacktastic…but that doesn’t mean everything is a hack.
We will just have to see how the story plays out.
the liberal racist slimeballs are showing their true colors, Red and Yellow
I’m not so sure this is from a DNC source…could just as easily be a republican who tipped off politico.
just sayin’
Teacake it also is possible that YOUR father was Malcolm X and that you’re just so silly that he didn’t want to acknowledge you.
@lillyme says: Uh no. Other *true* conservatives dislike Cain’s stances as well. This is just gravy. Besides, you neocons ARE liberals, you love big government spending, after all. You know, spending trillions on all those illegal, undeclared, unconstitutional wars we’re in right now that are being used as an excuse to curb our civil liberties?
Let’s see…w hat have we learned about Mr. Cain thus far?
* 9-9-9 has been shown to be a horrible plan
* has been shown to be extremely arrogant
* his ads are lolbad
* made hundreds lose their jobs while CEO of Godfather’s Pizza
* Aquila retirement scandal
* former Chairman of the K.C. Federal Reserve
* attended NACC as a Whirlpool rep. in 2007
* said the economy was doing fine in 2008
* sexual harassment

If there is nothing to it…It will pass.
If there is something to it then better to find out now then in the general…Cain should get the same vetting the other candidates get especially since he’s a front runner.
Cain expected it given his comments from May. He’s a big boy. If he gets the GOP nomination it will only get worse because these are democrats after all.

Poilitico = Bullshit Squared
50 Reasons WHY America Should Examine Obama’s Past
f the American people are ever blessed to have Obama’s secret biography deliberated by an unbiased authority, with higher intelligence, the following will have to be addressed on the merits of legitimacy.
Essay by Penbrook Johannson
Editor, The Daily Pen
1. The Definition of “Natural-Born Citizenship”. The U.S. Constitution requires that a presidential candidate be a Natural-Born Citizen in order to be eligible for the office of President.
In seeking to define the meaning of “natural born citizenship”, those who support Obama take a minimalist view of the term. They desire to assume jurisdiction over its definition in the minds of as many as possible contending that “natural born citizenship” means the fewest, most remedial natal circumstances possible which will allow Obama just enough legitimacy to be eligible. Their definition allows Obama to merely meet what they consider the most easily argued characteristics of Obama’s citizenry, in this case, his birth place.
However, the purposed intent of our founders was not so slight in this matter. They sought to make the meaning of being a Natural born citizen the highest, most laudable position of all forms of citizenry. All arguments seeking to diminish this truth are reprobate and defamatory, made in the interest of serving one’s own political lust, not defending the sovereignty of our Constitution or people. Hence, logically, our founders induced that the highest form of eligibility for the highest office would be a lawful mandate.
Consider the following:
http://usurpador.blogcindario.com/2011/01/00987-50-reasons-why-america-should-examine-obama-s-past.html
It might be bullshit squared but it hurts him in this simple respect…It reminds voters that they know little about him.
Even with both Romney and Perry and the their professional politicians all their ” stuff ” is out in the open so to speak. Kind of a double edged sword thingy.
So two, unnamed women, who won’t go on the record, are complaining about an alleged incident that happened 20 years ago? Bullshit!
I think we should ask Larry Sinclair, Obama’s former lover, what his opinion is.
Or better yet, let’s ask those other 2 guys , also named as “Obama Hookups”, what they think. Oh wait….They were murdered right after they started talking about servicing Obama. I guess we can’t ask them.
People and glass houses.
Now the ARDC limits searches to the past year, good thing the search returns were archived.
SCOTUS ruled on the definition of a natural born citizen in Minor v. Happersett:
Minor v. Happersett, 1874
“At common law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners.”
Luria v. U.S., 1913
“Under our Constitution, a naturalized citizen stands on an equal footing with the native citizen in all respects save that of eligibility to the Presidency.”

friday, when attorneys give up their license it is finalized by court order. That really means nothing that there is a court order notation.
However, it takes a lot of suspension of credulity to believe that there were no bad actions involved for a black, Harvard trained woman to just “voluntarily” give up her license. Large firms would hire her and make her partner at the drop of a hat. There was no reason for her to give up her license to go to work at a hospital. There are people who work in other industries other than law who retain their license.
We know that Barry lost his license because he lied about not having gone by another name during his life on his license application. However, it seems to me like he would have just have gotten some type of censure and not have lost his license if there wasn’t something else out there.
The bottomline is that any black that is Harvard educated basically has it made in the shade financially. I have never accepted that they just easily gave up their license. There is much more out there, but since they “voluntarily” gave up their license, there will never be a record of what happened for them to lose their license. Had they fought the discipline then there would be a record.
meant to type other professional politicians…Newt, Huntsman, Santorum et,al.
The longer they have been around the more stuff there is and the more likely they have been vetted by local press if not national press.
In Perry’s case the Texas Big Media Machine has been after him for decades….Although sometimes he gets a fair shake. Both the Statesman & the Tribune are so liberal most people take it with a grain of salt.

Ann Coulter responds to a report from the “liberal publication” Politico that Herman Cain sexually harassed two women while he was the president of the National Restaurant Association.
The most damning part of the report, which is not well sourced, seems to be that Mr. Cain made “physical gestures” that weren’t sexual in nature, but made the women uncomfortable:
There were also descriptions of physical gestures that were not overtly sexual but that made women who experienced or witnessed them uncomfortable and that they regarded as improper in a professional relationship.
On Sunday’s edition of CNN’s “Reliable Sources,” one of Politico’s top writers Roger Simon accused Rick Perry of being a racist, and said being one is helpful for a candidate in the Republican primary.

OK, I’ve had enough. For all you armchair attorneys out there, I am a licensed attorney in IL. We have a choice every year when we pay ARDC fees to the state whether we are actively engaged in the practice of law or not. We can pay a lower rate “inactive status” or the higher rate. We DO NOT have the option of giving up our license from time to time and re-instating it at will. That comment (whoever said it) is the most ill-informed, assinine thing I have ever read. Moochelle either voluntarily gave up her license (which no one would ever do) or she lost it for malpractice or other malfeasance, PERIOD.
@debbie M
I’m one of the ill-informed asses…and thank you for correcting me.
Now I’m a slightly better informed ass.
I don’t believe the Cain story is BS. I believe that there was some kind of accusation and some kind of settlement, but I don’t believe he actually did anything to merit either.
Cain’s answer to the reporter was in line with that scenario.”Have you ever been ACCUSED of sexual harassment?” In other words, it’s a he said she said situation which is very difficult to disprove. And there are some women who see sexual harassment in the most mundane of words and actions.
An organization like the National Restaurant Association would be quick to settle something like this for fear of the bad publicity.
Therefore, the story of accusations and settlements may be perfectly true, but the long ago accusations themselves might easily have been false and handled poorly.
If I’m correct, Cain’s best course is to tell the truth and remind everyone how easy it is to be falsely accused in a situation which, by its very nature, cannot be disproved and to have an entire organization’s reputation on the line.

the decision in Minor v. Happersett, explicitly says that it is NOT giving a definition of natural-born citizen….
“The Constitution does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens.’
“For the purposes of this case it is not necessary to solve these doubts.”
The Constitution does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common-law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners. Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of their [88 U.S. 162, 168] parents. As to this class there have been doubts, but never as to the first. For the purposes of this case it is not necessary to solve these doubts. It is sufficient for everything we have now to consider that all children born of citizen parents within the jurisdiction are themselves citizens.

Mooch was Rule 770, not Rule 756
This ADRC is for discipline reasons…not for those volunteering to stop practicing. It is COURT ORDERED…not “Michelle Obama ordered.” Their website is very clear about their function and why they step in.
http://www.state.il.us/court/SupremeCourt/Rules/Art_VII/
Rule number 770..it is all about types of Discipine…and reasons for a lawyer to be disbarred
See, Rule 756 is about voluntary inactive status, which simply costs $105/year, no biggie. That’s what you’d do if you were a lawyer wanting to go inactive, voluntarily without any extraneous forces.
But Rule 770 is all about DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS. An attorney may be on “voluntary inactive status persuant to Rule 770″ but that is not the same as Rule 756, which is invoked purely on personal whim. Michelle’s ARDC report states: “No malpractice report required, as attorney is on court ordered inactive status.”
Court ordered means court ordered, not Michelle ordered.
If Michelle had ordered it, that would be via Rule 756. Michelle Obama is on “Court Ordered Inactive Status” pursuant to Rule 770, i.e. disciplinary rules, to avoid reporting of malpractice. Compelled to go voluntarily inactive would be the kindest description of this outcome.
If she’d have wanted to go VOLUNTARY INACTIVE she’d have used Rule 756:
http://www.state.il.us/court/SupremeCourt/Rules/Art_VII/artVII.htm#Rule770
“(5) An attorney may advise the Administrator in writing that he or she desires to assume inactive status and, thereafter, register as an inactive status attorney. The annual registration fee for an inactive status attorney shall be $105. Upon such registration, the attorney shall be placed upon inactive status and shall no longer be eligible to practice law or hold himself or herself out as being authorized to practice law in this State, except as is provided in paragraph (j) of this rule. An attorney who is on the master roll as an inactive status attorney may advise the Administrator in writing that he or she desires to resume the practice of law, and thereafter register as active upon payment of the registration fee required under this rule and submission of verification from the Director of MCLE that he or she has complied with MCLE requirements as set forth in Rule 790 et seq. If the attorney returns from inactive status after having paid the inactive status fee for the year, the attorney shall pay the difference between the inactive status registration fee and the registration fee required under paragraphs (a)(1) through (a)(4) of this rule. Inactive status under this rule does not include inactive disability status as described in Rules 757 and 758. Any lawyer on inactive disability status is not required to pay an annual fee.”
@DebbieM
I’ll take malfeasance for $200, Alex.
Hmmm.. today did seem like a slow news day..
it’s getting exciting..
remember kids.. the Democrats are the party of no morals.. that’s why they are allowed to be dastardly and get away with it.. they can quote the bible infinitely, but they are never subject to it’s rigid code of ethics..
scratch a dem and you will find a demon rat..
@workingclass artist
The worst part is that there is only about $160 difference between maintaining a full active status license and an inactive one on an annual basis, so no one reasonably volunteers surrender. IMHO
20 years ago was the height of “Sexual Harassment” notoriety and legislation..
every highfalutin whore was setting guys up to get big paydays..
you know, until it all backfired on the women that did want to screw up the ladder or just go on a date with the nice boss and possibly have a relationship..
you don’t hear about it much anymore.. cause the normal women got fed up with the uber gold diggers messing with the natural order of things..

“with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar”
Common Law is the Law of Nations.. the Framers were familiar with that..
it’s there plain as day.. and the Law of Nations was very very important..
http://east_west_dialogue.tripod.com/vattel/id3.html
The inclusion of the central conception of {The Law of Nations,} Vattel’s Leibnizian concept of happiness, as one of the three inalienable rights, is a crucial statement of the Declaration’s Leibnizian character. The Declaration of Independence was prepared by a committee consisting of Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Robert Livingston, and Roger Sherman. Jefferson was assigned by this committee to write the draft of the Declaration, after John Adams turned down the task, because of his numerous other responsibilities. The fact, that Jefferson was a strong proponent of the philosophy of John Locke by as early as 1771, is often used as evidence that the Declaration was based on Locke’s philosophy. However, Locke had argued, in his {Two Treatises of Government,} that the fundamental right of men is to “Life, Liberty, and Property.” The inclusion of “the pursuit of happiness,” rather than “property,” as an inalienable right, was a crucial statement, that the American Revolution would be a battle for the establishment of a true Republic, rather than merely a dispute between two groups of aristocrats over the division of property.

An example of the Law of Nation’s influence..
http://www2.canada.com/saskatoonstarphoenix/news/national/story.html?id=1b64b224-974f-4cd0-96a4-52cf52e06163
Under Adams’ direction, the War of 1812 might have, in fact, been remembered as the War of 1806. He confides to Rush that he “would have declared war against Great Britain five or six years ago, when the King issued that most atrocious of all violations of the Law of Nations, his proclamation for impressing seamen from our ships.”
Britain’s controversial seizure of American sailors to crew Royal Navy ships for its ongoing wars against France – a policy that treated citizens of the newly independent United States as if they were still Britons – was a key trigger for the War of 1812.
==================
Obama isn’t natural born because his father isn’t an American…
no court ever had to define it before.. because it’s already defined..
I hope the Democratic Party gets crushed in court… LOL.. they are effed…
And where was these bunch when BILL CLINTON was selling our nations top secrets to the chi coms for illegal campaign cash
van—that’s obviously stupid……which court ruled that Obama isn’t eligible to be president because he’s not a natural-born citizen?
when people talk this level of drivel, don’t they stop to think that if there was the slightest grain of truth in it, wouldn’t the RNC and/or the McCain campaign have brought suit ?
you know damn well that Hilary wouldn’t have passed up the chance to have the courts stop Obama’s name from going on the ballot for pres.
do you being this pig-ignorant or are you crazy enough to think that everybody in the Republican Party and the Democratic Party and the entire legal profession is all in some giant conspiracy? And as it’s a conspiracy which benefits few of them.
Let me get this straight. It’s pretty common knowledge that obama likes to suck strange dick and take it up his ass but OMG Cain might have made an off color remark to a couple babes way back when just like me and just about every other straight CEO in history?
it’s pretty common knowledge amongst the people who are fucked up and think that Obama is a Nigerian commie jihadi son of Malcolm X with a full scalp tattoo of Orly Taitz being sodomized by Michael Jackson and Mickey Mouse.
I just heard the Geraldo clip where Herman Cain’s spokesman JD Gordon called in to the show. Cain’s campaign is going to have to get a better handle on this…just sayin’

“which court ruled that Obama isn’t eligible to be president because he’s not a natural-born citizen?”
no court has to.. it’s already defined.. Go read the Law of Nations.. America is founded upon it’s contents.. NBC is defined..
“And as it’s a conspiracy which benefits few of them.”
you must be the one who is pig-ignorant.. all the ‘ruling class’ benefits by having the constraints of the Constitution dissolved..
The ‘ruling class’ does not want Rule of Law.. that would mean accountability..
besides that.. accidents happen to those that don’t play along.. even Obama..
America is THE key to ruling the world.. it’s happening.. whether you believe it or not.. the signal was given when the electronic run on the banks happened during the election in 2008.. remember that ?
you can believe whatever you want..
@vangrungy
“20 years ago was the height of “Sexual Harassment” notoriety and legislation..”
True. But Cain needs to deal with it instead of trying to spin it as “Liberals are out to get me” etc…How is that tactic working for either Bachmann or Santorum?
He needs to deal with it straight up and not dodge it.
20 years ago women filing complaints regarding sexual harassment was a popular trend. Ruined a lot of innocent people’s lives too.
Also 20 years ago, the current president was fooling around with crack and coke.
In the 1990′s, Democrat Washington Governor Mike Lowry was accused of sexual harassment. The charge was investigated by the Washington State Patrol. Their finding was that since Lowry did not intend to sexually harass the “victim” (who was a member of his staff), sexual harassment did not occur.
Funny how the rules change when you are a Democrat.
van——-“which court ruled that Obama isn’t eligible to be president because he’s not a natural-born citizen?”
“no court has to.. it’s already defined..’
no van, the definition that counts in this country is the one that is used by the courts of this country
your idea is what is known as “fucking nuts”…….the USA is founded upon the Constitution and the laws of the land are interpreted by the courts…….
and a definition found in a book written more than a dozen years AFTER the Constitution was drawn up can not be said to be the source for terms employed within the Constitution.

BACKFIRE!
Where’s Sharpton and Jackson making sure that Cain is being treated fairly?

checking with Cain to see what’s in it for them before moving a muscle.
“and a definition found in a book written more than a dozen years AFTER the Constitution was drawn up can not be said to be the source for terms employed within the Constitution.”
Ummm… you mean translated… The Framers used the original French version.. published in 1758.. Vattel died in 1767…
The title of the book (in French) was, “Le Droit des Gens, ou, Principes de la loi naturelle, appliqué à la conduite & aux affaires des nations & des souverains:” or “The Law of Nations, or, Principals of the Natural Law, applied to the conduct & affairs of nations & sovereigns” (1758).
http://puzo1.blogspot.com/2009/09/natural-born-citizen-clause-requires.html
read this and shut up..
Well WAPO dug up a 25 year old rock with an objectionable name that Perry’s dad painted over at a hunting camp parcel he leased.
Of course Herman Cain called Perry “racially insensitive and said he’d never support him as the GOP nominee.
So I don’t have a ton of sympathy for Cain getting the treatment by the media given that he capitalized on a lame dredged up non-story about Gov. Perry by personal attacks on the governor.
Gov. Perry didn’t spin it,deny it or run away from the story…he dealt with it head.
I don’t think Perry will “capitalize” on this sleaze factor Cain story either to gain in the polls as Cain did with the painted rock story.
So – no real news on Cain.
The Obamas bar status still a mystery.
This “natural born ” citizen mantra- However one agues it the language is obsolete. The first IVF babies will soon be age eligible. Then there are sperm donors (whoah who can prove it is the sperm of an american citizen?). Then the donated ova then the surrogates- what if the physical birth mother is non /American?
So not much progress today .
Libturds are scared shitless of Mr Cain…..I like it
hey van,,,, that at least was something and I take back a little of the calling you crazy………
from your link——E. Vattel stated in 1758, as translated into English in 1797
do you have any idea whether anybody amongst the first, second or third Committee of Eleven ever had read Vattel in French? or whether the opinions of Hamilton and Jay were discussed and rejected?
why was Andrew Jackson allowed to become president, as both his parents were citizens of Ireland?
ZipChimp
As if Andrew Jackson gave a sh*t about SCOTUs or any court.
Just how much of an army did they have?
@ reality—way cool.
excellent catch;
Worcester v Georgia —–
Jackson was reported to have said “John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it!”
Lot of people think maybe he didn’t—-
but Marshall’s will was done eventually.
@Zippy (fuster)
You screwed up there Zippy. Andrew Jackson’s parents came to this country before it was a sovereign nation. They arrived in 1765. Using your logic, even George Washington wasn’t a citizen of the U.S. because he was born in a country that was a British colony, as were his parents.
You should learn when to stop…..
Can’t you already hear the glee on Morning Joe?
This ought to be fun, maddening but fun.
As to Geraldo …he was the most rude SOB as he ever is…why they even bothered to call in is beyond me, Rivers interrupted every single the man was trying to say..he’s beneath contempt.
He’s been kicked out of the middle east, he disgraced Ruby Ridge flying around in his chopper screeching out of his blow-horn to those in the cabin and dead around them…this POS should have been long gone, long ago.
Cain will survive this…much to Rove, Romney and the leftists chagrin.
Oops, ‘every single word’
No, Kat I didn’t screw up. i was pointing out to vangrumpy that Vattel’s argument that the nationality of the father is controlling for “natural-born citizenship” CAN’T be what the founders understood.
It’s sure not my logic—-and it is certainly isn’t the logic of the founders for the very point that you raise……..all they wanted was that the president be born on American territory and/or of American citizen parents and not hold any allegiance to any foreign power.
Hey chimp, with regards to Minor here is a read that might help clarify.
“Additions might always be made to the citizenship of the United States in two ways: first, by birth, and second, by naturalization. This is apparent from the Constitution itself, for it provides that ‘no person except a natural-born citizen, or a citizen of the United States at the time of the adoption of the Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President,‘ and that Congress shall have power ‘to establish a uniform rule of naturalization.’ Thus new citizens may be born or they may be created by naturalization.”
http://naturalborncitizen.wordpress.com/2011/06/21/us-supreme-court-precedent-states-that-obama-is-not-eligible-to-be-president/
forget that noise, Nothing.
I posted the relevant part of the decision and linked to the whole of it.
The idiot who wrote that bullshit in your link has to resort to saying that Waite didn’t say what he clearly said in Minor and that Grey (in the later case) is misinterpreting Waite.
That is what gets used for fertilizer. You kids gotta learn how to read for yourselves.
Minor says, in so many words, that the Court is NOT defining “natural-born citizen”
Go and do your homework……

Who cares? At least he’s not gay, like Obama.
the only two twentieth century presidents who were proven to have had gay lovers were Warren Harding and Ronald Reagan.

Hey Politico, check this out:
http://newsflavor.com/politics/us-politics/the-ulsterman-report-sex-and-murder-in-the-land-of-obama/
And now this:
http://politicons.net/video-cains-spokesman-jd-gordon-evades-claims-of-sexual-harassment-settlement/
Cain’s campaign manager, called into the Geraldo show while Geraldo was discussing the allegations against Cain.
Geraldo gave him several chances to deny the allegations, asking him several times and even explaining how this could really hurt Mr. Cain if he didn’t end it now.
If it had happened, this would have been the perfect opportunity to explain it and smooth it over. Why did he call in if he wasn’t going to deny or address it?
I think he made it worse.
And the story on CBS, the headline is to get you there to read it. The headline is: Herman Cain denies sexual harassment claims
Except, the article says they never spoke to Cain and it also says the statement put out by his campaign manager, never denies the allegations: “The statement, issued by Gordon, never directly denies the allegations.” The statement only blames the media for putting the story out there.
His campaign did the same thing as they did when he called into Geraldo. Blaming the Liberal media will only get you so far. Like Geraldo told him, address it head-on, don’t let it drag on.
cedarbark – lots of good stuff.
Thanks.
When I heard this story I had two thoughts, both which I will use two words to describe…
The first…….”Bill Clinton” Anyone want to compare this story about Cain with the one concerning the former president..who can accurately described as a
serial predator of women.
The second…..”So What?” This was the response of Rep. Henry Waxman when
the House impeached President Clinton for perjuring himself when he testified
before a Grand Jury. Waxman had little interest in the charges, and repeated
‘so what’ time and again through the hearing in the House. It will be interesting to see of he defends Mr. Cain with the same fervor.
Yet another minus for Cain, but again, I have not seen any better alternative candidate yet. For me, it’s a question of who’s the least bad candidate. I wish Alan Keyes had run this year.
They already know Herman can’t handle allegation and ‘gotcha’ moments well. They will fry him on this…
Bye bye Cain.
Well after reading the comments in here, I want these past minutes Ive wasted back.
Idiots like fukster are in here arguing about everything BUT the topic at hand.
Who gives a rats ass about Michelle Obamas license, or who in 1767 thought what about being born here?
Any idiot can LOOK at Obama and tell hes bi, but who gives a rats as about that either??
I wish I had a nickle for everytime any man in the US gets accused of sexual misconduct / harassment. IVE been accused of it, and I know damn well I didnt do anything. MOST men who work at more than one employer will encounter it at some point, and Ill say the chance TRIPLES if they are a supervisor / CEO etc. of some sort. Its usually a money grab. Some women are desperate enough to even try it with guys who arent high up on the ladder, b/c their boss hasnt provided them with any opportunity….yet.
I guarantee this was an Anita Hill situation. These 2 women wanted some money, so they made up some story about how Cain did ______ , and got their settlement. Da gurlfrenz gots PAID! If we were to see how many CEOs get blackmailed / accused on a regular basis, it would quickly sweep this under the rug where it belongs.
EVEN IF Cain actually made some sort of pass at these women… SO WHAT!? He might have been having a rough go of it at that time in his marriage, and was looking for something else. Who knows? Who gives a damn, really? He wasnt in a public office, and certainly didnt cheat on his wife with an intern half his age in the oval orifice, desecrating the historic landmark with stankin cigars.
If anything, this makes Cain seem more down to earth and more like a real man, as opposed to Barry who can only point to Michelle as any woman hes ever slept with.
Anyone who puts credence to this is just looking for an excuse to try to get Cain to go down in flames.
Its pathetic, and anyone trying to fan these made up flames is even more pathetic.
ITS A DISTRACTION, nothing more. Politico is hoping for either A- Cain drops out, or B- the republicans eat each other alive over this (you know Rove and Romney will comment) or C- It just provides cover-fire for Obummer for awhile, so he can campaign some more and take some heat off of him and Biden.
Either way, they see it as a win / win / win.
THINK.
This will end up being a net gain for Cain.
The voters are fed up with this kind of Media assassination.
I heard he actually called one of the women, “honey”.
That’s almost as bad as Bill Clinton raping someone isn’t it?
good rant, shadowblitz
@Shadowblitz70, Thank you.
ITS A DISTRACTION, nothing more.
So who is left, RomneyCare? It’s the Republican’s presidency in 2012 to lose, and they are sure trying to lose.

170 comments.
I hope nobody believes this propaganda
Some people are offended by bad punctuation. But taking offense doesn’t constitute a crime. (Liberals seem to believe that everything THEY dislike, is a crime.)
After 20 years of silence, why does a sudden need to speak up constitute a concern?

On the same day…
Roger Simon accuses Rick Perry of being a racist on TeeVee and says it helps the GOP to b kinda racist in the primaries (Perry was doing a good interview with Chris Wallace to reboot his campaign)
Cain is taken down in a sunday night oppo dump just as he is going o DC to chat up his 999 plan (Which Willard has no counter to)
Double attack to his two main opponents (Cain in the polls, Perry in the funding) and it smells like Rove to me.
Good Bye to The Cain Train… LOL
@Snuffy Pop Tuna Scented Popcorn, you nailed it. There are women who are out to be offended by anything. At a past job, I had a wonderful supervisor, a very nice Christian gentleman from Nigeria who gave a chance to a friend of mine who’d been out of work for a long time. Helping her get a job where I worked was a huge mistake anyway, and she started proving that as soon as possible.
Anyway, one of the ways in which she distinguished herself as an employee was getting our supervisor fired for sexual harassment. She was a hefty gal, and forever complaining about same, to anyone and everyone who’d listen, but she didn’t really want suggestions or advice. Our supervisor, who tended toward the blunt (but kind-hearted) responded by saying that maybe there was a correlation between her eating habits and her weight (I believe he said “Maybe if you didn’t eat so much…”).
As for Cain, this doesn’t pass the smell test. They signed agreements that they wouldn’t disclose the details, but they ARE disclosing the details now?
And yeah, it didn’t seem to hurt Clinton any.
This is blatant racism. The left is relying on the old stereotype of the black man as a sexual predator.
Call it PolitiHO.
Politico you’re kneepads are waiting for pickup, they cannot be repaired.
Herman didn’t do anything. And even did do a little something, so what.. “Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone..
There is a Communist, Muslim bastard in the White House.. America is “occupied territory”.
