OLYMPIA--Don't look for it to derail the inauguration next month, but people continue to try to stop the presidency of Barack Obama by questioning whether he is a "native born" American.
Thirteen Washington voters last week filed a lawsuit with the state Supreme Court trying to prevent Washington's 11 Electoral College delegates from officially casting their votes for Obama on Dec. 15.
". . . Our efforts to declare the ineligibility of the candidate Barack Hussein Obama for the office of President of the United States have been futile to date," the 13 wrote, saying that they have no choice but to turn to the state's highest court. They want a court order telling state election officials to "set aside" those Obama votes.
A superior court judge in King County rejected a similar challenge shortly before the election, and the U.S. Supreme court this week dismissed without comment a nearly identical case filed in New Jersey.
In every case, the primary allegations are that Obama's Hawaii birth certificate is fake, and that he was secretly born in Kenya. Another key contention is that as a child, he lost his U.S. citizenship while living briefly in Indonesia. (Similar allegations were raised about GOP candidate John McCain, who was born into a military family stationed in the Panama Canal Zone.
"The state's position is that the secretary of state has neither the authority nor the requirement to investigate the candidates' qualifications for president and vice president," said Dave Ammons, spokesman for Washington's top elections official, Secretary of State Sam Reed.
Dang! N00bs gettin uppity!.............
I can see both issues.
I agree that so far these cases have only gotten a review for consideration by the Supreme Court of The United States of America, which is short of what is needed.
To assert, however, that these cases are “going nowhere” is false. They are undeniably headed to the SCOTUS.
Naysayer.
(Please feel free to focus on the issues that you think are most promising, but do not discourage others from doing the same.)
Can’t we all just get along..SCOTUS not hearing case. It is so over.
"RINO Shamnesty McCainiac"...that's just hysterical.
LOL! Good one. I really admire Americans like Leo, Cort, Orly, and Steve Pidgeon who are trying to efend the Constitution.
The keyboird commando naysayers arguement is either “SCOTUS will do nothing” or “Let’s move on because the news media (MSM) will portray us as kooks/racists, etc etc.”
Well MSM has total contempt for anyone who questions Obama. They are in total spin mode about Blago and how Obama is as clean as the driven snow. In addition, the MSM is dying. NYT, NewsWeak, LA Times and on and on are almost dead. TV networks are also suffering - screw them.
We need to stand up to these criminals now. Hopefully SCOTUS will have enough guts to expose these frauds and criminals by defending the Constitution.
Good point. Notice in the lower left (rev 11/01) is the govt’s way of saying this formed was revised November 2001 so the certificate of live birth isn’t the original. Also, didn’t the original analysis indicate that there were erasurers even on this form?
No you are wrong or have it reversed. Scalia could have deep sixed Cort’s case after Leo’s was shot down but he didn’t. There is awhole discussion on that. In addition, Steve Pidgeon’s case in WA state is very strong.
Blago’s case and Fitzpatrick? I hope you are right but the MSM news media is spinning Obama as a saint of Chicago. Fitzpatrick is running out of time and unless Blago and Rezko have been singing their heads off then Obama is home free.
Why not foucs on both. The MSM is going to ignore both and cover for Obama. If Fitzpatrick had Obama on videotape killing 3 people - Obama would get a pass.
“My guess another sham-nesty McCainiac who is a afriad of the MSM attacking Conservatives who support the Constitution as racists.”
Hardly. That’s what ‘guessing’ gets you.
As for this birth certificate thing. I can see Obama letting us carry on about this for months and as soon as he’s sworn in he shows the proper one, in order, and makes us ALL look like irredeemable fools.
Time to go after Obama on other Constitutional and political fronts and not throw good resources after bad.
the MSM already thinks you or we are fools. Aunt B are you Opie in VA’s little protector or just another OBot? Geez.
Leo’s case as well as parts of Steve Pidgeon’s case do not need a BC. Obama’s father was a British citizen - according to the Constitution O is ineligible.

Careful, newbie...our AuntB has a ferocious bite when you poke sticks at her.
You could well be right about this BC thing....arguing about it here is worthless.
VA doesn’t need a protector. Now, I was polite, and you got all nasty. We can go there if you want.....but I think we both have better things to do. This is just a big waste of time.
Carry on.
It's true that JR. is properly applied to the son of a father with the same name, and the numerical designation is applied where the child is named after an uncle or grandfather or some such. But there's no law requiring parents to follow conventions of naming. I'd be surprised if this teenage mother and Kenyan father even knew about such conventions, much less cared. They could have simply thought "II" sounded more important.

Another thing is, where it says “Father’s Race African”.
African is not a race. It’s a Nationality.
I always love this “newbie” stuff. It is hilarious and pathetic at the same time.
Sad little RINOs.
Carry on.
But if Kenya was a British Protectorate in 1961, wouldn’t the race “African” be correct?
You are right! It’s suprising that this one hit the media in the liberal “true blue” State of Washington (where the Democrat Governor stole the 2004 election in court and by repeated re-counts).

All th clown obama has to do is actually physically and openly produce it, and this could all be over.
I sincerely believe he is not a natural born citizen simply because he will not quell this easily and quickly.
