“McCain is irrelevant. If O is deemed ineligible, the President will be Biden, Pelosi, or Hillary. So basically, it’s lose-lose for our party. But at least we uphold the constitution.”

Are you sure that if Obama is deemed ineligible that Biden, Pelosi or Hillary will be the next President? If that is the case, knowing that Obama holds the “most liberal” card, then Biden, Pelosi and Hillary can’t be any worse than Obama as president.

Upholding the Constitution IS the top priority, in my opinion.

“Joe Thunder, LA radio personality, reports that Big Media is on scene at SCOTUS, ABC, NBC, Washington Times, et al. There are about 50 people there now. Prayer happened. Media is interviewing everyone.
It’s perfect. No signs, well behaved, etc. Let’s hope it holds. Media is calling us as well.
A radio station in New York City wants to talk to me about Leo. Then Florida called. Then Georgia called. Then Pennsylvania called. Then Chicago, Dallas, Des Moines, and Denver called. Now I have 3 more waiting me on in the next hour — Ed Hale, plainsradio.com.”

Thank you for that news report.

"I agree. Rule of Law is much more important than any one personality. Today could signal the last day of our constitutional republic if the Supremes don’t have enough courage."

I agree wholeheartedly.

If the SCOTUS fails to uphold the Rule of Law and the Constitution, then I guess we are lawlessness and anarchy rules, correct?

That’s pretty much how California is operating right now.

>>> The reporter I heard on the msm said that the American voters said he was eligible by voting him in. Now, what the hell does that mean?

>> Check out comment #86 if you want to ruin the rest of your day.

LucyT, I respectfully disagree with your assessment. I’ve heard this elsewhere, akin to a SOS “certifying” the candidate qualification, the ballot, etc.

“Once it’s done, it cannot be undone.” “We can’t undo the will of the people” — I’ve heard that one, too. Don’t believe it. In California, a NON-citizen was removed this year as Mayor because he was unqualified.

Upholding the Constitution is a whole hell of a lot more important than letting a unConstitutionally-qualified person assume the Presidency.

We can’t even get it into these numskull Obots that there’s a difference between a “Citizen” and a “Natural Born Citizen.”

The MSM projects the “truth” they want us to believe.

Just like in Animal Farm, when “All animals are created equal,” evolves into “All animals are created equal, but some are more equal than others”

Or better said, “Just because you keep repeating the same Talking Point DOESN’T MEAN IT’S TRUE.”

If the SCOTUS kicks the suit back to the NJ SOS, all hell breaks loose because every other SOS (49 of them, and let’s not forget the territories) will be required to validate the candidates (as they should have done in the first place.) I think the SCOTUS will seek a ruling, to prevent this nightmare (of Biblical proportions) from reaching critical mass. Either way, I say bring it on and settle this Constitutional issue once and for all. I believe that in the end, future candidates will be vetted as to their eligibility where required.

“FOX is concentrating on the O.J. sentencing. I guess they have their priorities and we have our’s.”

One thing to consider is that just because OJ is on the air right now does not mean that all of FOX’s reporters are sitting around watching it too. Hopefully there’s a Fox reporter on the scene at the SCOTUS. Well, I suppose it doesn’t matter really...they’ll probably get the facts wrong anyhow.

To: etraveler13 Read how it works, the only other person running for PRESIDENT at the time, was John McCain...Period. Not true. The democratic slate of electors would be able to vote for whomever they wanted. There is NOTHING that stops an elector for changing their vote in the electoral college. That's why they are always the staunchest party loyals that are chosen for it.

This is where I get confused. I live in a state that has 2 electoral votes. My state is fully democratic. Now we have 2 democrat electors and 2 republican electors which gives you 4. If BO won, then those 2 electors get to vote.

Now here's the question - he fraudulently ran - he was and is not eligible to run - right? SO, why would the democratic electors get to vote? Wouldn't all 4 get to vote since he is ineligible? Please answer that!

Have you checked “Faithless Elector” laws?

Show me one elector that has been sent to jail for changing their vote.

Second thing, they can only be punished AFTER they cast their vote. It either is recorded as they voted or voided depending on the state.

Third thing, some of those states use secret ballot for the electors. There's no way in hell you can get a conviction for a faithless elector law in a secret ballot.

But...picture this...lets say (hypothetically) that they decide to have a new election, can you see the DUmmies heads spinning as Bush is left in office longer while they have this election...ha ha ha ha ha

There wouldn't be a second election. The electoral college would either rack up a record number of faithless electors as they start to change their vote (presumably to Biden or maybe Hillary) or Obama would be dropped from the ticket and Biden assumes the Presidency.

My post was confusing.
2 democrat electors
2 republican electors

BO wins the state which means 2 democrat electors get to vote.
Bo is a fraud and ineligible to run.

Why would you allow those 2 democratic electors vote? Why would you not allow the republican electors vote?

I believe you might be mistaken. Berg’s case was denied, I’m pretty sure. However, Justice Souter did issue some sort of request for Obama and the DNC to produce the documents named by Monday (birth certificate and several other things). It is not clear whether Obama and the DNC ignored or complied with this request.

Exactly. The MSM is still on their “lets move on, nothing to this” cover up mode and will continue. We will know soon what the SCOTUS decides.
