Decision on Obama citizenship issue pending
Washington Times ^ | Saturday, December 6, 2008 | Tom Ramstack (Contact)

The Supreme Court held off Friday on deciding whether to grant a hearing in a long-shot lawsuit that would decide whether Barack Obama can constitutionally become president as a "natural born" U.S. citizen.

The Friday list of court orders that denies or grants hearings did not mention the lawsuit, which says Mr. Obama should be disqualified from the presidency because he purportedly acquired the same British citizenship that his father had when he was born.

Scratch “sued” replace with “indicted.”

Oh, I figure the criminal enterprise party knew exactly whom they had foisted as their affirmative action candidate. Dean wanted the clinton crime family dealt with oncea nd finally. Now Obama will hold hillary's strings and thus the sinkEmperor's also. Look for token promotions, such as abassador to the UN for sink and perhaps a SCOTUS appointment for the Rodham rodent. Dean did his work and skidaddled.

The frightening part is, the DNC is just stupid enough to be blind to the reality of Obama's destructive power, thinking their control of Congress can control his behavior/policies.

I simply don't see that happening.

Actually I'm really looking forward to rioting.

I wish people (including Rush) would quit calling this jackass the messiah.

The most merciful.

Actually, it is just a reference to Barky's own self-proclamation. It will surely ring hollow if he is declared ineligible.

>>>Right. I wish people (including Rush) would quit calling this jackass the messiah.<<<

Ditto that! As long as we're on pet peves, I can't stand Hannity calling us "Conservatives in Exile" or saying "Republicans in Exile".

Exile is gone!. We're not gone, we're just temporarily out of the leadership.

The key sentence in this article:

"A spokesman for the court said the decision on whether to hear the suit brought by retired New Jersey lawyer Leo Donofrio is likely to be announced next week."

It appears they are using the time from now until December 15th when the Electors meet before theu make a decision.

Whatever they announce Monday will not be the end of it.

They could take all week according to this statement.

Article: "A spokesman for the court said the decision on whether to hear the suit brought by retired New Jersey lawyer Leo Donofrio is likely to be announced next week."

If it turns out BO is not eligible, he is ultimately responsible for not resolving it with his own lawyers before he makes a run for the office and taking the public on a ride. Dean is responsible because when the issue surfaced with the Berg suit, Dean should have called BO into his office to get the story straight before the Dems proceeded with the convention. Finally the MSM should have done their job by dogging BO until he shows the Birth Certificate. We have a crisis now because the people responsible did not do their jobs. We live in interesting times and time will tell.

Thanks for the info.

Hummmmm, I’m trying to read into that statement. Maybe they still have not decided (??).

~~Missed this article PING!

###

“The Supreme Court held off Friday on deciding whether to grant a hearing in a long-shot lawsuit that would decide whether Barack Obama can constitutionally become president as a “natural born” U.S. citizen.

The Friday list of court orders that denies or grants hearings did not mention the lawsuit, which says Mr. Obama should be disqualified from the presidency because he purportedly acquired the same British citizenship that his father had when he was born.

A spokesman for the court said the decision on whether to hear the suit brought by retired New Jersey lawyer Leo Donofrio is likely to be announced next week.

A decision not to grant a writ of certiorari — the legal term for the declaration that the justices will hear the case — would mean that a lower court ruling that dismissed the lawsuit can stand.”

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/dec/06/obama-challenge-awaits-a-decision/

~~~

Repeating:

“A spokesman for the court said the decision on whether to hear the suit brought by retired New Jersey lawyer Leo Donofrio is likely to be announced next week. “

~~~

With the comment of the spokesman in this article, I’m left with the idea that maybe the door isn’t really closed yet compared to the other articles, that blow it off and infer it’s over.

Praying for America.

Stevens actually did a presentation at the Fedalist meeting last month on “Natural Born Citizen”. Try googling it.

“That said, if they decide to hear the case before the inauguration, there will be riots. If they decide to hear it after the inauguration....there will be war.”

Bring them on.

I doubt seriously that the obamanation crowd other than gang bangers even own weapons.

We heard that if Zero lost the election, cities would burn.

Now, if he is disqualified, rioting will occur.

Odinga tactics. This ain't Kenya.
