Obama's Eligibility Challenged
AFRO News ^ | Dec 04, '08 | James Wright

Posted on 12/06/2008 11:51:37 PM PST by blueplum

subtitle: Thomas Refers Previously Rejected Case Challenging Obama's Eligibility

repost of Dec 3 article, correcting errors, formerly entitled, "Thomas Breaks Custom, Forces Supreme Court to Look At Obama Citizenship Case"

"...the AFRO incorrectly said that Justice Clarence Thomas had granted Leo Donofrio's application for an emergency stay of the December 15th meeting of the Electoral College. In fact, Justice Thomas referred the petition to the conference of justices."

There was no statement by an Hawaii official saying that Obama was actually born there. They said that there is an authentic birth document on record there.

Journalists just can't seem to get things right.

Trevor Morrison, the Constitutional scholar the article sites, stated that Thomas submitted Donofrio's application to conference so that the full Court could deny it.

Somehow, I don't think that was the reason.

Some of the comments below the article are more interesting than the article itself. I particularly like the comments of “FreeAmerica 5”, whoever he or she might be.

You know, one rabid Obama supporter (or paid booster) did raise an interesting point. Why aren’t policians of all stripes, but particularly Republications, talking about this? I think many, if not most, are well aware of the position and fully realise Obama’s lack of eligibility.

I responded that they are either afraid of the fallout if he is disqualified (rioting etc.) or his revenge on them if he is not. However, its still odd that, just like in the media, the issue is totally buried. No one will touch it. Conservatives are often accused of conspiracy, but this seems to be a lulu.

This country has endured far greater challenges than a fraud
seeking the presidency.

Either we stand by our constitution or we will surely lose it.

Oh bull.

The threat of race riots is the worst possible reason to abandon the Constitution.

It will only get worse if people chicken out now.

Ah yes. The psuedo-excuse for pillaging, destruction and general chaos.

We lost our Constitution some time ago. In Virginia we had a REPUBLICAN Senator on a local talk radio station say so some eight or ten years ago. His comment didn't even raise an eyebrow in the MSM. He was run off later for some comments he made accusing someone of being related to monkeys or some such. Truth is our Constitution is gone, our founder's values are going and there just isn't even any concern. Our politicians are giving T(with a “t”)rillions of dollars away and the MSM is reporting that holiday shopping is “up”. It is just bizarre. It is fun to watch, though. What our economy, society, and future needs is for a massive reduction in gummint (spending and size) and taxes without which we can't recover and the people just placed into power (Pelosi, Reid, “The One”, et. al.) are absolutely incapable of enacting these solutions.

I am blessed with having made decisions over the decades that insulate me from the worst of the future that I see, but it is gonna be some rough sledding for the crowd that supported the current group of politicians, which I suppose is Karma in a way.

one of the obamabots posted an article by a newspaper..I think washington post..that quoted the contact person about the quote from the director..and in those emails and telephone conversations they claim this person said that the Director, in fact, meant Obama was born in hawaii.

I think it was the poster “curosity” that posted it.

Here is the article where someone from the Tribune claims an employee from Hawaii supposedly says Obama was born in hawaii.

They said that there is an authentic birth document on record there.

A certificate of birth merely states that Obama was born not hatched. It is not a birth certificate. There is a difference.
