Yes.
It was all according to plan.

The decision on granting a hearing challenging President-elect Barack Obama's U.S. citizenship is still pending.
The "Washington Times" reports that the U.S. Supreme Court held a private conference Friday morning to discuss whether to take up a lawsuit but it was not on the list of court orders for the day.
According to the "Times" a Supreme Court spokesman said the decision to hear the case will most likely be announced next week.

The decision to “hear” may just mean that the “justices” will say there are no grounds for the appeal. Few are more socialistic than the five judges who dominate the court. I cannot see for a second that they would permit an honest hearing.
Well..., the other case that was accepted for a hearing was announced on Friday. It was said in another article that this is usually the procedure, in that it gives the parties ample time to be able to respond to the granted hearing.
The ones which are not heard are usually not announced right away. So, the fact that it was not announced, while the other case was, indicates that this Obama Birth Certificate case is *not* going to be heard.
But. a lot of people already knew that this was going to happen...
Good sources?
Even though I know this case SHOULD go forward, SCOTUS will probably not allow it to do so. I hope and pray I’m wrong.
What sources are those... ??
It only taakes 4 judges to ‘hear the case’.
OK.....WE COULD HAVE A NON-CITIZEN AND THE SCOTUS IS BSing AROUND...REALLY, WTF?
I doubt your sources are very good.
Add George Bush to your list.
Yes.
It was all according to plan.
If you think I am your brother than I know your sources are all in your head.
Someone with REAL sources wouldn’t brag here on FR about “my sources” that is just too funny.
But I’ll bet even if you have a friend in the court system they do not work at the SCOTUS.
As former military - sworn to defend the Constitution against all enemies - both foreign and domestic — I would like to KNOW that the CIC who has the power to order me into certain death, at least held that office under conditions SPECIFIED by the Constitution!
If Obama can’t PROVE he is a legitimate NATURAL BORN AMERICAN CITIZEN —I will never accept him as President, and in fact view him as an enemy of the Constitution and Republic.
For Obama to refuse to submit documents to verify his eligibility — is certainly justification to deny him the office.
Ditto for me on your feelings .
According to the "Times" a Supreme Court spokesman said the decision to hear the case will most likely be announced next week.
It appears to me they are giving themselves the time to ponder it.
“If Obama can’t PROVE he is a legitimate NATURAL BORN AMERICAN CITIZEN —I will never accept him as President, and in fact view him as an enemy of the Constitution and Republic.”
That makes two of us!
He has no past. What is he hiding???
Me too.
I'm watching and praying.
I would think that they would take a couple of days to figure out what to do. This may be a good sign as they know how serious this is.
The source article here:
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/dec/06/obama-challenge-awaits-a-decision/
The key sentence in the 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.”
Surely the Supremes see it as clearly as you stated. I wish you would fax that exact statement to them asap.
hope bttt
Please verify your source for your information. Per the SCOTUS web site:
The vast majority of cases filed in the Supreme Court are disposed of summarily by unsigned orders. Such an order will, for example, deny a petition for certiorari without comment. Regularly scheduled lists of orders are issued on each Monday that the Court sits, but "miscellaneous" orders may be issued in individual cases at any time.
Generally, if a case is considered at a Conference, viewers can expect that the disposition of a case will be announced on an Orders List that will be released at 10:00 a.m. the following Monday.
” America is a disgrace to the world and our forefathers. “
Agree . If the SCOTUS won’t protect , defend and uphold the Constitution then we are finished and deserve to be nuked .
why would they do that instead of doing a formal denial
Sorry, your unnamed and unproven sources are as reliable as the fake birth certificate posted by the Obamunists on ‘fightthesmears.com’.
Nothing personal.
How many in the US Armed Forces feel as the two of you do?
You seem well-versed; tell me -- do the supremes routinely make up their minds before-the-fact (or the facts)? Please say it ain't so.
LLS
I wish I knew!
OK you're pissed. But that's a bit over the edge don't you think?
Even if the Supremes don’t here the case, or what ever they do, we have to keep pushing. We cannot let this ‘great experiment’ die, just because a bunch of our fellows have elected scum and clowns who don’t care a wit about this great country.
This case goes fundamentally to 1) the primacy of the Constitution over the Executive Branch using the clearest terms and facts possible; AND 2) the ultimate ability of the USSC to assert authority over the Executive Branch through the Court's role as Guardian of the US Constitution. Of course, there have been cases touching on these issues before, however, the bright line precedent that would arise out of this fact pattern provides an opportunity to reinforce the Court's authority over the other Branches in an unmistakable way.
Basically, this is a straight-up mano y mano conflict between the Exec. and the Legis. that the USSC will use to strengthen its power, which is the most important thing, after all.
How much faith do you have in Kennedy...???
0bama and his minions have given the issue legitimacy by sealing his birth documents in Hawaii which amounts to a cover-up. (Nixon did nothing except attempt a cover-up of watergate).
All of these "informed individuals" claiming with certainty their predictions, are specious at best.
I have no idea how this will turn out, however there is no question that this is unprecedented.
They are too busy giving rights to Islamic terrorists and taking away rights from American citizens to be bothered with a trivial matter like a usurper becoming POTUS.
His own website says he was born a subject of the Queen.
Perhaps there is some planning going on regarding this case?
I doubt they could coordinate with the white house without word getting out.....coordinate so the white house could prepare a plan for internal security?
As painful as reality can be, purveyors of the US Constitution do have a sacred duty to uphold the very fabric of our Republic.
Unlike some POTUS who have sworn to do so and failed without much consequence, it seems unlikely the last line of defense of the Constitution would ignore a potential violation of the document....
They were discussing just that last night on PRN.
That’s just it - he doesn’t have to produce anything. Nobody does. And the chicken sh*t SC sure won’t. So we’ll have a precedent of letting anyone be elected as president -natural-born citizen or not. I am disgusted by this but nothing any of us can do about it. The Constitution is just a piece of paper.
” But that’s a bit over the edge don’t you think? “
Maybe a “ bit “ . ; )
White people need to learn to riot, I guess.
How did Nobama “seal his birth documents in Hawaii”?
He's an idiot who will vote with whomever yells at him the loudest.
I believe the Justices will consider this issue of great importance since it is a Constitutional qualifications concern for our Commander in Chief.
I took the same oath in 1962, and nobody EVER told me that I was released from it. And I suspect that a LOT of veterans feel the same.
That is not what Leo said. He said the cases that were mentioned yesterday afternoon had already been heard. The procedure on cases discussed on Friday is that the decision is not posted until after 10:00AM on Monday.
Some news articles have stated that Leo Donofrio’s case has already been denied, and that is not the case. If it is denied we will know on Monday.
