Interview, Orly Taitz: Chief Justice Roberts Calls Conference on Obama Challenge: Lightfoot v. Bowen
Fort Hard Knox ^ | January 7, 2009 | Arlen Williams

Posted on 01/09/2009 8:28:39 PM PST by devere

Chief Justice John Roberts has sent a full-throated challenge of Barack Obama’s presidential eligibility to conference: Lightfoot v. Bowen (SCOTUS docket page). I.O. interviewed Lightfoot lead attorney, Orly Taitz at 2:20pm CT, today, minutes after she learned of this move.

Taitz believes, “This is Chief Justice Roberts telling the Congress… the other eight Justices, that there is a problem with this election.”

The Lightfoot case has legal standing, due to litigant, Libertarian Gail Lightfoot’s vice presidential candidacy in California. It also address two major issues of legal merit: 1. Obama’s failure to provide legally evidentiary documentation of citizenship and American birth and, 2. his United Kingdom citizenship at birth, passed to him by his Kenyan father when that nation was a British colony. (Other current challenges also submit that Obama’s apparent status as an Indonesian citizen, as a child, would have caused his American citizenship to be revoked.) This case is therefore considered the strongest yet, to be heard by the Supreme Court. Obama challenger, Philp Berg had previously been granted conference hearings, scheduled this Friday, 1/9 and on 1/16.

Roberts was submitted this case on 12/29, originally a petition for an injunction against the State of California’s Electoral College vote. His action comes one day before the Congress is to certify the Electoral College votes electing Barack Obama, 1/8. The conference called by Roberts is scheduled for 1/23. Orly Taitz is not deterred by the conference coming after the inauguration, which is to be held 1/20, “If they find out that he was not eligible, then they can actually rescind the election; the whole inauguration and certification were not valid.” The strongest time for legal and judicial rulings are generally after the fact.

"But my point is —many conservative bloggers, radio folks etc. don’t want to touch this with a 20 foot pole. Pajamas Media has been steering clear of the issue—pretty much denying it. whassup Up?"

Because there's nothing to it. It's the 2009, conservative equivalent of those people who kept yelling that Bush was "selected not elected".

>>Okay, we will see who Chief Justice Roberts gives the Oath of Office to on Jan. 20.<<

Interestingly, he gave it incorrectly. And the constitution requires othewise for it to be valid.

That would without question make for an interesting Court case and perhaps provide Biden with an in to the Oval Office but all Obama would need to do to correct such a problem is to summon a DC Justice of the Peace and have him deliver the oath.

Hmmmm ..?? That’s really interesting.

About 20 years ago, the son of a leader of satan worshippers was attending college in San Diego and
became a Christian.

After that, his dad bought a house on the coast - north of San Diego so he could go out on his balcony and cast spells upon San Diego.

He died!

The Constitution is a document we fondly refer to without teeth.

This election is a tragedy. Ignorant, greedy sheeple along with voter fraud got this cretin in.
