COURT DECLINES OBAMA BIRTH CASE Posted: Monday, December 08, 2008 10:19 AM by Domenico Montanaro Filed Under: Courts, Pete Williams
From NBC's Pete Williams The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to take up a case that questioned whether President-elect Obama met the Constitution's requirement that only a natural-born citizen is eligible to be president. As is the court's usual custom, the request to take up the case was denied with no explanation. http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/12/08/1702234.aspx _____________ From the Chicago Tribune MORE ON BARACK OBAMA Court won't review Obama's eligibility to serve By Tim Jones | Tribune correspondent 10:16 AM EST, December 8, 2008 UPDATE: The Supreme Court has turned down an emergency appeal from a New Jersey man who says President-elect Barack Obama is ineligible to be president because he was a British subject at birth. The court did not comment on its order Monday rejecting the call by Leo Donofrio of East Brunswick, N.J., to intervene in the presidential election. Donofrio says that since Obama had dual nationality at birth -- his mother was American and his Kenyan father at the time was a British subject -- he cannot possibly be a "natural born citizen," one of the requirements the Constitution lists for eligibility to be president. Donofrio also contends that two other candidates, Republican John McCain and Socialist Workers candidate Roger Calero, also are not natural-born citizens and thus ineligible to be president. At least one other appeal over Obama's citizenship remains at the court. Philip J. Berg of Lafayette Hill, Pa., argues that Obama was born in Kenya, not Hawaii as Obama says and the Hawaii secretary of state has confirmed. Berg says Obama also may be a citizen of Indonesia, where he lived as a boy. Federal courts in Pennsylvania have dismissed Berg's lawsuit. http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/nationworld/politics/wire/chi-obama-birth-certificate1dec08,0,5873179.story _____________ Editorials News Supreme Court - Obama Birth Certificate -The verdict is in! By Scott Prentice Reading "Traditional News Media" reports you would think it was. Reading headlines and briefs like ABC Senior White House Correspondent Jake Tapper and I quote: "After the Justices meet -- and assuredly decline to hear the matter -- the anti-Obama activists supporting the case will hold a vigil near the steps of the highest Court in the land." Or Los Angeles Time reporting - Satire "It may come as something of a shock to those millions planning trips to Washington for the Jan. 20 inauguration of President-electBarack Obama that he isn't really legally capable of taking the oath." And using Obama's "So called Fake" Certificate of Live Birth. The Donofrio case does not challenge Obama's citizenship or the COLB that they display. Donofrio accepts that Obama is a US Citizen but, because Obama's own admission of dual citizenship at birth, Donofrio claims he is not a Natural Born Citizen as required by the US Constitution. (Period) The full orders from the SCOTUS aren't due until Monday December 8th, 2008. If in the unlikely event they don't listen to this case, doesn't mean that this issue is over. As many readers are discovering if you are at all concerned about this issue, you could be labeled "One of those Conspirators" or your one of those who believes the "Crackpot controversy". Don't bite into that "Shit Sandwich" as dad use to say. We're American's and we have a "God - Given" right to know where our president was born without any ambiguity. When there is so much ambiguity around a situation like this and it is given to the Supreme Court to help us settle the matter, I would highly recommend that the media report the facts and keep their liberal opinions to themselves. Other funny and ridiculous Obama Supreme Court - Birth Certificate HEADLINES and Stories & Comments - (We are not providing links because we don't want to give any of them rank or credibility.) Chicago Tribune - "Legal experts say the appeal has little chance of succeeding, despite appearing on the court's schedule." and "Because it was referred by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to other justices for conference, it gained undue importance for people unschooled in how the court works" The Washington Times - "Some legal analysts say the lawsuits have little chance of success. The Supreme Court rarely grants the kind of court orders - or stays - sought by Mr. Donofrio." Chicagoist - Let's face it. We're screwed. We're stuck with an alien from Alderbaran running the most powerful democracy in the free universe. I'm heading for Canada. Salon News - "You might think these rumors would have died off after Obama produced proof in June that he was, in fact, born in Hawaii to an American citizen, his mother, Ann" I would recommend that you do your research into both side on issues like this.
