Supreme Court Of The United States (SCOTUS) Justice David Souter has agreed that a review of the federal lawsuit filed by attorney Phil Berg against Barack Hussein Obama II, et al., which was subsequently dismissed for lack of standing is warranted. SCOTUS Docket No. 08-570 contains the details.
Hmmm... Not really digging the source... any others out there?
Nothing on the docket yet, but it’s not necessarily updated immediately. If the denial is reversed, and this docket is reviewed ALONG WITH 07-608, this will be sensational news!
No. 08-570
Title: Philip J. Berg, Petitioner
v.
Barack Obama, et al.
Docketed: October 31, 2008
Lower Ct: United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit
Case Nos.: (08-4340)
Rule 11
~~~Date~~~ ~~~~~~~Proceedings and Orders~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oct 30 2008 Petition for a writ of certiorari before judgment filed. (Response due December 1, 2008)
Oct 31 2008 Application (08A391) for an injunction pending disposition of the petition for a writ of certiorari, submitted to Justice Souter.
Nov 3 2008 Supplemental brief of applicant Philip J. Berg filed.
Nov 3 2008 Application (08A391) denied by Justice Souter.
Nov 18 2008 Waiver of right of respondents Federal Election Commission, et al. to respond filed.
The maneuvering has begun.
Oops, 07-608 is a completely different (but very interesting) case.
Don’t recall what the docket number was for the case that Souter rejected but Thomas accepted. Anyway, getting TWO of them actively before SCOTUS would be sensational.
Thanks for the ping. Wowzers.
These are the wto numbers I have in my notes, but OTTOMH can’t remember which is which.
08A407 and 08-4340
Could it be they will discuss both on the 5th????
Leo + Berg = 9-0 vote

Please let the Supreme Court act AFTER Janet Napolitano has resigned as Governor of Arizona! :)
Maybe, but I have a feeling that Thomas will have his conference, and SOuter will have his seperately. If the Leo case goes against Obama, Souter might then bring Berg on for a Cert. Pet. hearing to distinguish or over-rule the Leo case.
Alito needs to rein this in maybe, and this could be showing us that the court is divided even before any hearing.
Hard to tell.
It would seem fine to hear them both at once, but each of them have different legal foundations.
I don’t like it. The Donofrio case is much stronger and if you look at the filing it names three people, one of whom was born in Nicaragua, I think. I would love for them to look at all the cases, but IMO, if they choose just the Berg case it will not be the more compelling brief and that will be the end of it.
Yes they are separate cases, however, they cut to the root of the same problem:
The constitution specifically stated the requirements for the office of the president. The SCOTUS have sworn to uphold the Constitution of the United States. Unfortunately the founding fathers did not establish who would/should vet each candidate to determine eligibility. Leo says SOS, Berg says DNC and FEC, .......
Personally I think the SCOTUS must rule this time on eligibility AND in their ruling establish an order for all candidate to follow in the future.
They may rule....It’s above DNC or SOS pay grade, but it sure in the _____won’t be above the SCOTUS’s pay.
That’s what they were created to do....CHeck and Balance....
Oh my! If anything ever comes of this can you imagine! Obama has already resigned his Senate seat so he’d just be out on his ear unless the Gov of IL appointed him back to his seat.
If "anything" ever comes of this, the loss of his Senate seat will be the least of his problems. Perhaps improving the view from his window at the Graybar Hotel will be more important to him.
The only reason to take it is to affirm his citizenship.
The best thing that could happen would be if he went totally mad and was driven on a post-marxist rampage to repay all of his enlightened handlers.
No it's not.
I hope you are right. But somehow this whole thing could get very convoluted. We also have new anecdoatal evidence of Obama’s birth in Kenya.

This AUDIO is just in — the Kenyan Ambassador to the United States says that “it is already well known” that Obama was born in Kenya (start listening at 12:00 minutes into audio) );
