New eligibility challenge reaches Supreme Court (re: Hollister v Soetoro)

"New eligibility challenge reaches Supreme Court
Attorney calls for recusal of Obama judicial appointees

"There is a widespread perception among 'conservative' media figures such as Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin that judicial appointments have been made by the respondent Obama with the expectation of favors in return. This has combined with a campaign of ridicule and 'unthinkability' on these serious issues led by the press spokesman of the respondent Obama among others," said a "motion to recuse" submitted by attorneys working on behalf of Gregory S. Hollister, a retired military officer.

The motion cites Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor, both of whom were awarded the lifetime tenure positions on probably the most influential court in the world by Obama.

"What is very much at issue here is the question of public perception. Will this court be bound by the Constitution and the law that it sets out under the Constitution? It is important that this court, above all institutions, preserves and protects the Constitution and a rule of law based upon it," the motion states.

"We would think that this is particularly the case in light of the historically unprecedented attack on this court's determination to uphold the constitutional rule of law engaged in by the respondent Obama during the State of the Union Address that he gave in January of 2010. It is as if he and those working with him and backing him believe that this court and the federal judiciary can be manipulated and intimidated in the manner that investigations have revealed as having occurred in the courts of Cook County, Illinois.

"We would suggest that this court should particularly avoid the appearance of favoritism as overriding the rule of law based upon the Constitution," the motion said. "

Second, Obama should fly back home for Christmas, spend quality time with Mama Sarah, quaff a beer or two at Nyalenda and watch our TV stations and read our newspapers. In one short week, he would have gathered more knowledge on political science than they taught him at Harvard for years.”

For starters, I can’t figure out why he allows Sarah Palin, that misguided politician of the Tea Party fame, to hop from one political rally to the other hurling insults at his wise leadership. Who is this silly OCPD who licenses her meetings? Why hasn’t he issued orders from above to have her tear gassed and arrested for issuing inflammatory statements aimed at rousing ethnicity and social unrest?

And what are Kenyans with green cards doing while their man gets roasted all over the place? Why can’t they organise mass action and arrange themselves into US versions of Baghdad Boys, Sungu Sungu, Amachuma, Mungiki and other militia to sort out Obama’s enemies?

Obama also needs to fire his advisors. It is extremely reckless to hire people just because they have six degrees. He should fire the whole lot and replace them with Americans of Kenyan origin.”

“...obama knows that he is not eligible to be President , therefore there is no “good faith”. All acts ( appointments,bills )signed by obama would be voided.”

Good point Omegadawn. I expect that we will hear the usual arguments to misdirect as anger with Obama grows. I did not realize that there were public arguments as early as 2004. There was the incident, now scrubbed from the Internet, wherein Obama was challenged by Alan Keyes, with Keyes asserting that Obama couldn't run for president and Obama pointing out that it didn't matter since he wasn't running for President! (I was one who heard the discussion, but, not anticipating the aggressive scrubbing of inflammatory evidence, didn't think to save the YouTube video!)

Of course, having every Senator sign a Resolution, SR511, in 2008 affirming that being born of two citizen parents was equivalent to natural born citizenship, makes it clear that both parties are complicit. This now includes the military, which has imprisoned one of a few officers, Lt-Col Lakin, who honored his sworn duty to preserve and protect the Constitution by refusing Obama’s order to redeploy (Lakin has been in combat zones many times). A JAG judge has informed the military that the Officer's oath to preserve and protect the Constitution is inferior to obeying the orders of the Commander in Chief.

One respondent suggested that the Supreme Court will simply define Natural Born Citizenship and the issue will be resolved. That, and I'm not arguing with you, is not what our Constitution intended. Definitions were never intended to be part of the document. Definitions came from our common law at the time of the Framers so that anyone could read and understand the principles upon which the Republic of laws is based. Changes in those provisions may only be made by amendment. A Supreme Court decision which is contradicted by a provision is invalid.

Even English Common Law, Blackstone, depending upon the date of the citation (a charming attribute of English law is its flexibility in that the Royal Court, controlled by Lords, often changes statutes to suit the needs of some member of the Royal Family), requires that parents be natural born subjects in order that the foreign born child be deemed a natural born subject (as Obama was, since his wife became a subject by marriage). But English subjects are not eligible to be King or Queen. In fact, from what little I know about English law, marriage of a Royal to a commoner removes the possibility of succession to the throne.

There is too much agreement from G. Washington, four Chief Justices, 14th Amendment Bingham, and 100 U.S. Senators, that a natural born citizen is born of citizen parents, and on our soil, though the Senators in Apr. 2008 chose not to mention the jus soli requirement. This issue is complex enough to have been successfully obfuscated by the state-run media and the Obots who troll this and other blogs with the mission of derailing clear discussion.
