I’m smiling so much now because all this time Barack Obama has hired teams of lawyers to go to court and ask to dismiss all these lawsuits that have one similar theme—show proof you were born in the United States.
But now because just one of these ‘nuisance’ cases (as Obama sees it) has made it to the Supreme Court, the Justices have already out manoeuvred Obama and his team of high priced attorneys.
First, they’ve cornered Obama with a move of check by setting a conference date of January 9th (24 hours after congress counts the Electoral College’s votes) to discuss Berg’s writ of certiorari; the case can’t be dismissed—Berg will have legal standing!
And finally the Supreme Court has made its devastating move of checkmate by allowing a conference on January 16th to discuss Berg’s injunction to stop congress in counting the Electoral College’s votes!
There’s no more wriggle room left for Obama because essentially it’s a fait accompli by January 9th for him to hand over his evidence to the Justices otherwise, if he doesn’t comply by January 16th, the Justices’ will have it within their power to retroactively cancel the results from the January 8th Electoral College’s vote count!
So Obama tried to play a game of legal chess against the Supreme Court—well guess what? Obama—you’ve already lost! Checkmate!
Wondered how fast you would show up here. So how much do you get paid to monitor these bc posts and report back to Axelrod?
This is just my uneducated opinion.
Let's try to get inside the mind of the SCOTUS as it's operating right now. What's grabbing their attention?
SCOTUSblog.com has decided to hear Crawford v. Marion County Election Board and Indiana Democratic Party v. Rokita as consolidated cases. These cases concern voter ID guidelines and voting rights.
Take a look at how the Justices are split on this issue.
I'll post this as a separate article ("The Partisan Elephant in the Room") because I think it has a bearing on the fortunes of the BO natural-born qualification cases currently before SCOTUS.
But if the sheriff’s deputies are in Honolulu, what’s the problem? Presumably they are protecting HAWAIIAN birth records...
I think a better word would be asshole.
So Drew68 and DE88 are the same person?
Nah. The real masochists are the ones waiting every Friday for the Great Pumpkin to appear with a writ of certiorari in its hand, only to be disappointed again and again and again and again...
Lots of noise, but just that. This Obama corrupt political machine will not allow the SC to have any power. We are in the first stages of Communism and very little can be done. The vast liberal followers believed this nitwit.
I bet you have pictures of zer0 on the ceiling above your bed so you can go to sleep and wake up adoring your master.
How is it frivilous? It has been ruled that he has no standing to bring the issue forth. All he has to do is make an application with the Supreme Court to have his Writ to request a conference. It is not referred or forwarded by any other court.
Berg could file for injunctions with the SCOTUS indefinitely. It doesn’t give the case any merit.
The biggest fear of the Supremes is not what you posted, in my opinion. It is rioting in the streets that would make the sixties look like a garden party.
I think there would be incredible civil unrest, rioting, god knows what if this election were overturned.
I really am reassured when I hear that the USSC is afraid to follow the constitution because of some perceived mob threat.
Oh, you got me! And I use his "bitter clingers" speech as my ringtone.
Think about it.
If nothing else, Zero the Antihero's continued refusal to lay his cards face up on the table for all to see has ensured and resulted in the SCOTUS, not to mention how many lower courts, being tied up with having to address the matter. This takes time, resources, people, and MONEY. More so, every minute spent dealing with this issue, or non-issue as the csae may be, takes that same time, resources, people, and MONEY away from other cases.
It makes no sense to do what 0 has done and continues to do, UNLESS he—to borrow from his own phrazemology—”HAS SOME SKIN IN THE GAME.”
I laughed this off at first. But the longer it has dragged on and the more I've watched how 0's peeps have scrambled to head off any new cases and/or movement forward on the old/pending cases, I am convinced there is something here.
What it all comes down to is all sides are playing poker. The ONLY players in the game who have had to show their cards are those who have CALLED 0bambi’s BET. WTH? He gets to keep playing the same hand but never has to show his cards, while everyone else starts with new cards from a fresh deck, and it is for them a new hand and round? Huh? That makes no sense. I've yet to hear the dealer (courts?) say “YOU WIN, 0bambi.” It's always, “You LOSE, challenger.”
IF I understand what I am seeing, then the courts have NOT declared Zed the winner. They have only told the challengers that they have yet to win. MAYBE they are doing all they can to hint at the fact that they know 0 has a losing hand, but the challenger(s) has/have to come up with the cards to beat it? Could it be that they are saying by their actions "DON'T STOP; KEEP TRYING?" Maybe. The SCOTUS will need this to be airtight and buttoned up, if they can be expected to rule against 0bami. This is the big dance, guys and gals. The ramifications of a ruling against 0 would set this country and the world on its ear. For that reason alone the SCOTUS will not move forward unless and until it is a slam-dunk certainty that this guy is not only ineligible but guilty of crimes (perjury, tampering, conspiracy, et al) that will lead to criminal prosecution and prison. Yes, the charges have to be that egregious and the outcome has to be that certain and. Otherwise, no dice.
The Kenyan is playing cards that he was never dealt. Given how this has gone and continues to go, the challengers can beat him only if they can lay all 52 cards on the table. At that point 0's cards become the “Emperor's NO Clothes.”
Too many people here have been watching Superman ( Truth, justice & the American way). That all went out in the 60's when the Commies gained control thru schools, churches, media, movies,etc. Today everything is total corruption. Nothing is going to happen with this fakeroo. Power takes precedence over the law.
Mob? I don’t think so. Half the country voted for him. I don’t think fear plays a part,,pragmatism may or realpolitik or whatever. It would take more, breathtakingly more, courage on the part of this court than I have seen in my lifetime.
Half the population on a tear would be something we haven’t seen in this country since the civil war.
In a funny way it reassures me that the court would proceed very very delicately given the consequences.
Same with me. I laughed it off at first, now I'm convinced. Also the lawsuits will escalate once he is actually sworn in. It will be easier. Everything he does or tries to do citizens can band together and file lawsuits and they will. There are many waiting to be filed right now.
They have done something. If these cases were an "API fantasy" why put the cases on the docket? They didn't even have to move the cases to conference.
