"Stunner! Supremes to give eligibility case another look
Challenge to Obama getting 2nd conference before court

In a stunning move, the U.S. Supreme Court has scheduled another "conference" on a legal challenge to Barack Obama's eligibility to occupy the Oval Office, but officials there are not answering questions about whether two justices given their jobs by Obama will participate.

The court has confirmed that it has distributed a petition for rehearing in the case brought by attorney John Hemenway on behalf of retired Col. Gregory Hollister and it will be the subject of a conference on March 4.

It was in January that the court denied, without comment, a request for a hearing on the arguments. But the attorney at the time had submitted a motion for Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, who were given their jobs by Obama, to recuse.

Should Obama ultimately be shown to have been ineligible for the office, his actions, including his appointments, at least would be open to challenge and question.

At the time, the Supreme Court acknowledged the "motion for recusal" but it changed it on official docketing pages to a "request." And it reportedly failed to respond to the motion.

And please stop pretending that you’re standing up for the Constitution when what you’re really doing is giving Obama a free pass to a second term.

People voted for a non-eligible ticket

I keep getting shot down here but you're right, it should go back to the ticket. Some are claiming it would go to Biden because he recived the most electoral votes but VPs don't run on their own nor are they voted on on their own but on the COMBINED ticket. The Electoral College shouldn't be able to pass Biden the torch since he was on an ineligible ticket (and aided and abetted the usurper and proceeded to lie to the US citizens and ignored the US Constitution). The combined ticket of McCain/Palin should also be thrown out because McCain wasn't eligible either (which proves the GOP needed to throw the election) as he was born in Colon and not on base. The Nader/Gonzalez ticket was also ineligible because Gonzalez isn't a NBC by the two US citizen parents definition. That takes it down to the 4th place combined ticket of Libertarians Barr/Root with a mere 0.4% of the popular vote.

I don't see how the Electoral College could cast a legal vote for the top three tickets since they were never eligible tickets. Sure, they can cast their votes for Snoopy but each and every Snoopy vote would be thrown out.

All Barry and Biden have to do is shut their mouths, resign, and leave the District of Columbia and those are the best odds they are going to get.

I would take it if I were them.

That the justices are "avoiding" the Obama issue already has been confirmed by one member of the court. It was last year when Justice Clarence Thomas appeared before a U.S. House subcommittee that the issue arose.

No, that's not accurate. Thomas said they were "evading" it. "Avoiding" something means stepping aside or dodging to avoid an accident. "Evading" means leans more to being sneaky and side stepping the issue. Thomas isn't stupid. Thomas used the correct word - evading.

If BO is found to be inelligle, then the job would revert to Biden. He was born here and to two American citizen parents

How's that? He ran on an ineligible "combined" ticket.

From my life’s experience judges are power seekers, from local to USASC. Tie that with money seekers there is a real danger for chicanery. Throw into the pot that most judges started as lawyers there is a real question as to ethics, Constitutional knowledge and honesty as to law. So the people get ruled by the socital mores they cultivate.

“It’s sure as hell hypocritical and inconsistent. Obama himself voted for a federal law in 2005 that forces states to verify the validity of birth certificates when they are used to apply for drivers license or ID cards.”

He also voted for SR-511 agreeing with the two US citizen parents definition of NBC. There was a huge discussion, which also included Hillary and Chertoff, about the two parent thing that was once on Leahy’s website.

Here’s some of the discussion at:

Until his eligibility to be POTUS is assured, how can two of his appointments to SCOTUS vote on his eligibility?

If he is not legitimate, they are not.

( * (1) There have never been any votes to hear any eligibility case. All have been denied without comment and without dissent and, most tellingly, without any call for a response from the Government. (When a party asks the Supreme Court to review a case, the opposing party doesn't have to respond; if any of the 9 justices are possibly interested in hearing a case, the court will "call for a response." Obama and the DOJ have never responded to any cert petition in any of the eligibility cases, and the Court has never asked for a response.)

(2) Even if 2 justices are recused, it still takes 4 votes to grant cert. * )

Just curious, the WND article says this information was not made public, where did you get this information from ?
