Does anyone have any information as to what transpired with the Supremem Court conference yesterday regarding Obama's eligibility?
I have seen nothing and cannot even find information, even on Freerepublic...
Sooner or later we will have to know.
Are they still screwing around based on a missing BC when all they have to do is study who his pappy is? He never was a US citizen.
I think that our politicians on both sides of the aisle are doing everything in their power to bury this controversy hoping that it will die by itself.
What a shameless dereliction of duty.
Well done. I’m afraid to say I think the scenario you describe is likely to be much closer to the truth of what actually happens in these conferences than most of us would want to imagine.
What does it take to get people to sit up and take notice and start asking questions? I am getting to be so frustrated with our lack of progress on this that I could soon decide to remove myself from political involvement altogether and just think of myself as living in a dictatorship where the peasantry is denied any voice in politics. At least that way I would be less disappointed and less surprised by the constant failing of our government and the press it now seems to rule over.
Wouldn’t life would be simpler and easier if I just put my head down and paid my taxes and resisted the urge to read the news?
Depressed rant over/
Great perspective. Because of its utter importance to the future of the nation, this case would mark the apex of a career of deciding close disputes over proper interpretation of the Constitution.
In my view this case would be no different than interpreting the intent of the parties to a contract that has ambiguous or missing terms. And for that reason, I believe the two citizen parent requirement of the NBC clause would prevail.
There are few if any cases that come before the Supreme Court that involve such a clear cut issue as the eligibility requirement to be President of the United States. Everyone is watching and waiting to see what the justices decide to do, and that includes that man in the White House.
Barak Obama has anticipated such a possible decision by SCOTUS and supplied himself with a bolt-hole using our tax dollars, ‘natch.
Kenya rewrote its national constitution during the past two years and Obama provided that nation with millions of our dollars with which to do so (the amount was somewhere between 10-20 million; I forget the exact amount). One change was the eligibility requirement for President of Kenya, so that Obama would be eligible.
Now, why would he do that unless he expected to have to leave the United States?
Once there in Kenya he would be able to announce to the world that he had decided to return to being a devout Muslim. This declaration would inoculate him from charges of infidelity (his biggest concern would be protecting himself from all those angry Muslims who gave him huge amounts of money to overthrow the U.S. government and make it Muslim).
Will he have money problems? I believe, according to some sources, that he and Michelle have been hiding money overseas, so poverty will not be a concern.
Yes, I think it quite likely Obama would go ‘splitsville’, jetting out of the U.S. and straight to Africa. He would no longer trust the Secret Service, and his own cowardice and paranoia would force him to leave in a hurry so as not to be arrested, tried, and executed.
I pray that you are correct. Really hard, I’m praying!
Saw someone in a store yesterday wearing a zero t-shirt.
The swhtf if zero is declared ineligible... national rioting/looting/burning by the won’s supporters...
It will be a miracle if the law is upheld.
You are %100 correct!
This would be a can of worms from hell.
Obama found ineligible would not have been able to legally select his running mate, Biden.
All cabinet members would be null and void as well as ALL judge appointments(2 on SCOTUS)
All laws and executive orders, null and void.
Personally as a taxpayer would demand restitution of all costs incurred from legal fee’s to use of Air Force one including the vacations and parties at the WH.
Then there’s the question of the chain of command order of succession. The constitution never figured on such a scenario and always assumed for a qualified candidate.
Since Biden couldn’t legally ascend would it then become John Boehner as President (could live with that for 2 years no prob)
Next would be to try and sort out the accomplices.
Nancy Pelosi? All 50 sec of state?
I’d bet the judges that have been presented with these cases have all pondered these very same ramifications realizing that opening up this can, especially this late into the game just isn’t worth it. Essentially for the same reason that after Clinton was impeaches was never punished, for the good of the country.
There is movement afoot in state legislatures to pass legislation demanding neccessary proof of qualifications for candidacy. Obama will be faced with 2 options. Release his records to run for re-election, or keep them hidden and not be allowed to run again and most likely bow out for health reasons or some BS.
Hypothetically lets say he decides to release his records, what do they show?
A) he is in fact a natural born American citizen.
B) he is NOT a natural born citizen.
C) he is a natural born citizen who fraudulently received grants/monies to attend the colleges that his transcripts would show.
There has to be a link why both the birth certificate and transcripts are both being kept locked away and the truth probably is somewhere between answers b and c. NOBODY is going to spend the kind of money he has in legal fees to keep these records hidden unless there is some very damning info contained therein.
So, assuming he releases those records and hopes for the best, what have we got?
A) Born in Kenya, case closed.
B) Proof he committed fraud.
either way he loses.
If the eligibility story had been a novel, it would have been so ridiculous, most people would have trashed the book in the before reading half of it.
Truth really can be stranger than fiction.
National Reset Button
Open that can of worms and then stomp on them.
Yep, lets rock and let the early bird eat..
The formerly Supreme Court already knows Hussein is ineligible, because by his own admission he is the son of a British citizen and ineligible no matter where he was born.
Hussein will remain dictator until Jan.20, 2013.
He’s the right shade of tan to be untouchable.
If this were to be seen by the supreme court, would Kagan and Sotomayor be allowed to be involved in this case? If he were not legit, their nominations would not be legit. Just a thought.
weren't they both confirmed by the US Senate?
That's what makes or breaks a candidate.
I'm sure that there are some members of the USSC that are getting
tired of the BHO admin defying Federal court orders, and laws
made by Congress have not been deemed unconstitutional by the Court.
Not to mention the petty personal insults from the messiah himself.
They may finally get around to doing they their Constitutional duty.
Has anybody thought about how someone tried to get out of the situation by saying the motion was just a request? Doesn't that strike you odd that anyone with a remote acquaintance with the law would try to brush off a motion by repackaging it as just a request?
Perhaps someone with integrity decided that was just way too lame even for lawyers, so they decided to re-conference.
That said, the integrity will probably stop there. They will have to deny the motion and then deny the writ without comment of course. To do otherwise would shake the nation. The Supreme Ct has more important things to do, like deciding if a bunch of idiots can yell at a funeral or not.
We are all becoming a bunch of cynical people aren't we.
Open that can of worms and LET’S GO FISHIN!
Anyone who knowingly aided and abetted him would be guilty of treason.
They'd be subject to the most appropriate punishment.
I’m sure Kagan and Sotomayor would do just as they please and not recuse themselves, after all, they’re liberals and they’re above question! (SuperSarcasm)
These cowards on the court will never rule on any of this.
We are truly a banana republic run by an illegal dictator.
God help us all survive until his removal in 2013.
