Supreme Court to talk about Obama 3rd time Berg eligibility case set for conference Jan. 9
WND ^ | December 19, 2008

One of the original legal challenges to President-elect Barack Obama's eligibility for office to reach the U.S. Supreme Court now has been scheduled for a conference, a meeting at which the justices discuss its merits and whether to step into the fray.

Online schedules posted by the court show the case brought by attorney Philip J. Berg is set for a conference Jan. 9.

The case is one among several that already have reached the U.S. Supreme Court and address the issue of Obama's eligibility to occupy the Oval Office under the U.S. Constitution's requirement that presidents be "natural born" citizens.

Berg has submitted several requests for injunctions, seeking the court's order to stay proceedings in the electoral process until his case is heard, but the request have been rejected.

His original claim, however, remains on track to be heard.

"I know that Mr. Obama is not a constitutionally qualified natural born citizen and is ineligible to assume the office of president of the United States," Berg said in a statement on his ObamaCrimes.com website.

"Obama knows he is not 'natural born' as he knows where he was born and he knows he was adopted in Indonesia; Obama is an attorney, Harvard Law grad who taught Constitutional law; Obama knows his candidacy is the largest 'hoax' attempted on the citizens of the United States in over 200 years; Obama places our Constitution in a 'crisis' situation; and Obama is in a situation where he can be blackmailed by leaders around the world who know Obama is not qualified," Berg's statement continued.

The cases, in various ways, have alleged Obama does not meet the "natural born citizen" clause of the U.S. Constitution, Article 2, Section 1, which reads, "No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the

Thanks for the update, Red.

I'd just like to add that Berg was not just "one of the first" but was "Numero Uno." Back on August 21, he was the first person to file a lawsuit in Federal court, challenging Obama's qualifications, contending that Obama was born in Kenya to a British citizen, adopted by an Indonesian citizen who passed along his citizenship to OBama, and therefore, he was not a "natural-born" citizen.

Regardless of what you think of the man or his past exploits, he got the ball rolling at a time that none were coming forward to challenge Obama in Federal court, and for that we owe him a debt of gratitude.

And, if people think that Obama will be "home free" if he makes it through Inauguration on Jan 20, they need to think again. These issues will not go away.

I found an easy way for people to figure out who is Barack Obama. Simply go to the Fight The Smears website, and take every single denial they have made, and every charge of "smear" and turn them completely around.

Whenever Leftists say "Night" think, "Day."

As I understand it, they are not manufacturing new votes, they are just double counting them. Big difference there. One is Fraud and illegal, the other is just a silly counting/math error.

Most Democrats are dopey and perfectly capable of getting lost and confused on their own while voting, but I wonder whether they have coordinators who tell them to mark the critical races and then mess up the ballot to get a second ballot in the pile in case of recount. It shouldn't be hard to conduct a fair election, but the problem is only one side wants to follow the rules.

I was born overseas just after Obama and until I was around five, I travelled on my mother's U.S. Passport. However, inside my mother's passport was a picture of me as well as a copy of my BC from the U.S. State Department. So, again, how do you propose Obama entered the U.S. without any documentation?

I seriously doubt Hawaii or the Feds would have turned mommy with her newborn baby away after returning from overseas back in 1961 even if she did not have copy of an U.S. BC. All she would have had to show is some paperwork that the baby was hers like showing Obama's Kenyan BC. The officials may have told her to naturalize her baby and let her pass through, but she may not have followed their official instructions all the way and she only pursued an Hawaiian state issued birth record.

However, your idea of filing a FOIA request for State Department records to see if Obama was born abroad is a good idea.

Thanks. I agree. This will haunt Obama until he comes clean.

Unless she stuffed Baby Obama into her carry on bag there is no way Customs & Immigration would have let Obama into the States. Both Moma Obama and Baby Obama would have been put back on a plane.

However, I got to admit that the Birth Announcement was a clever idea. Moma Obama must have sent an e-mail to the Hawaii newspaper to cover up the fact that her baby and future American President was born in Kenya.

Like it or not, ALL Americans have an equal right to representation.

That doesn't change the human fact that if a lawyer takes on a controversial case and defends it vigorously, his own reputation is affected by it to one degree or another. You seem to believe that my view of taking controversial clients is black-and-white; whereas I think that it is a slippery slope and a matter of degree.

But while we're on the subject: Like many Americans, I am offended by the tactics used by today's trial lawyers of impugning the witnesses and interrogating victims as if they are perpetrators when the client they are defending is most obviously a lowlife to anyone with a shred of integrity. I am offended when a lawyer makes outraged, bald statements of the accused's innocence to the press and make lurid accusations against the victim/accusers that drag them through the mud, when their client's innocence is not yet proven. It is my hope that DNA evidence will not only help convict the truly guilty, but also help protect the innocent from such disgusting tactics.

I think many Americans have learned the hard way to distrust lawyers and their aggressive, holier-than-thou, above-the-law shenanigans. I have personally known attorneys and district attorneys who casually broke the law in their personal lives, yet gleefully prosecuted citizens with a dramatic self-righteousness rarely seen outside of Hollywood.

I think no one is above the law, and defending a client is no excuse for trampling the truth just to score a courtroom victory.

"I am saying that if a lawyer lies down with dogs, he gets up with fleas."
First deny it then confirm it. Obviously you are saying just what I claimed you did. lol

Lying down with dogs does not make a lawyer a flea. That's where you and I differ. It's a matter of degree, not an absolute doomsday prediction. Lighten up. See post 128.

We have a disagreement. Not in 1961. They are not going to send Mommy a resident of Hawaii, a US Citizen, back to Kenya with her newborn baby. They'll give her instructions on what to do and let her pass.

While I do not remember how it was for me when Mama Trumandogz brought me to the States, I do know that she had to have my documentation.

And I was born not long after Obama.

Maybe you should lighten up. I’m not being that tough on you. Your reasoning is still specious though. It assumes that judges and justices are too dumb to look at the case before them and judge it on its merits. That they will look up the cases the attorney before them has represented and make assumptions about the case they are hearing based on an association with a past client/case. If that is the case our entire legal system is an exercise in futility from the get go.

I'm pretty much done with your overshooting interpretations of what you want to believe I mean. Here's what I posted to the thread originally: I don't think Berg's case is going to succeed and I would caution FReepers not to get their hopes up too far. That is all.

Good night, and have a pleasant tomorrow and a good Christmas.

Interested enough to keep posting. Do any of your posts follow a logical rationale? lol

Yes, you are correct, I was wrong. However, the law that you cite did not exist until 1982.

True. Has anyone found the relevant Hawaii Statutes that were in effect in 1961?

Don’t know about that, but it does seem to debunk the a BC Truther theory.

Maybe it depends on the state. I’ve always lived in Massachusetts, and I don’t have a copy of my birth certificate. I enrolled in two colleges (UMass/Amherst and Boston University), registered to vote, got a driver’s license, etc., and never had to show my birth certificate. I do not have a passport, as I have not traveled outside the United States.

Bull - I've lived in Mass all my life and you are lying! There is no way you were able to do all that without showing your BC. Just Bull!
