The dispute over Barack Obama's eligibility to be president erupted during the 2008 election campaign and featured among others a lawsuit filed on behalf of Ambassador Alan Keyes against California election officials who did not check whether Obama was eligibile. Now the 2012 campaign is charging ahead at full throttle, and the issue is still alive.
That's because the case was before the U.S. Supreme Court for a conference today. A conference is a meeting at which the justices decide which cases they will review. To date, none of the Obama eligibility challenges that have reached the high court have been accepted. It could be as long as a week or more before an announcement comes from the court.
Attorney Gary Kreep of the U.S. Justice Foundation is handling the case.
"If the U.S. Supreme court agrees to hear this case, and we pray that it will, it will send shock waves through the Washington political establishment," Kreep said. "It will mean that the Supreme Court is going to follow the lead of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals justice who has publicly commented that this is an important constitutional issue."

Our Supremes are a bunch of cowards. They’re afraid to open up Pandora’s Box. They are doing the country no favors by weariing blinders about this issue of our illegal President. And they have everyone who is interested in seeing this case come to fruition stymied and caught in the Catch 22 of who the heck has standing if no one seems to have standing. Standing or no standing, that is the question.
The issue has now “ripened” or “seasoned” (whatever the legal jargon is) that it is now ready to be heard.
Why did the 9th circuit out of the blue grant an appeal to Taitz and Kreep? Dunno.
My guess is Hillary through Bill have the judges poised to act when the time is right. That’s only a guess. If she brings him down this way, she might feel she would not be tarnished and grab the Dem 2012 nomination.
In all honesty, one Congressman/Senator willing to potentially sacrifice his job could end this. Get on TV every chance and ‘create’ the controversy. You know they would slam him non stop...but that would cause THE PEOPLE to take it seriously.
“I’m willing to forfeit my job if that’s what it takes because my country and it’s people are more important than “ME”. And they are more important than a potentially ineligible President. WE, and history, must know the truth.”
If a person in that position has no standing, we have no country.
This won’t be the last one, either. With the illegal immigration issue ongoing in this country, there will certainly be more situations like this to follow. They need to take care of it NOW.
I agree the Supremes are cowards. They met in secret with Obama after the election and before innauguration. That is criminal right there. There needed to be a record of those proceedings for the American citizenry.
Perhaps now, they see a chance to redeem themselves. OTOH, maybe they see themselves as being in an exclusive club. If Obama goes, Kagan and Sotomayor must be impeached/removed, too.
SCOTUS ping.
(Anyone on/off, freepmail me.)
Obamacare’s individual mandate would be ruled unconstitutional if the eligibility issue was first properly decided and Kagan and Sotomayor were gone by the time the case went before SCOTUS.
Yes, the SCOTUS term begins in October, but they had a conference today to discuss cases and decide what they want to take up.
They didn’t agree on this one. All they did was put it on a list to be discussed and voted upon in conference. It’s not unusual.
They already had a conference scheduled today to review many cases. They’ll deny most without comment, but some they’ll grant. October is when they’ll begin hearing oral arguments.
Not so sure that all the legislation passed under his occupancy of the office, and all appointments, would be voided.
Generally speaking, legislation takes more than the executive...the Senate and the House, of course. So, merely affixing his signature would likely not require that a piece of legislation be set aside if (when) he is found to be ineligible to hold the office.
As to appointments? Likely only those that did not require the ‘advice and consent’ of the Senate, for the same reason.
Now...executive orders? That’s a whole different issue...IMO.
The SCOTUS,FBI,CIA, NSA, etc. have happily supported this TREASON from day one. There’s nothing these folks don’t know if they want to. So, take it from there. They’re complicit.
You’re correct, but did you mean to reply to me? I wasn’t discussing that subject on this thread.
Generally speaking, legislation takes more than the executive................
That is basically correct, however a “bill” does not become “law” until the President signs it or his veto is overridden. Therefore any “bill” that he signed would become null and void as if it never existed because a “President” did not sign it and it was not a overridden veto.
All of his appointments would also be null and void since a President has to submit the name to the Senate to approve. If a President did not submit the nomination (with an ineligible president ((citizen?) obama) submitting the name, it would be the same as if you or I submitted the name. Therefore it would be null and void.

It is BEST to get him out now so that his appointments and laws can be voided and we can go back to being a Republic.
Hear hear, so let us hope the SCOTUS can grow a pair and get this done, had great hopes for the Roberts court, but he seems to have been absent the last few years
I’m not going to guess what the Supreme Court will or won’t do. I’m just expressing my opinion based on many years of living and going to school when education was the purpose of school.
Another question that I never see being asked, based on questions of Mr. obama’s background is; what is his legal name and is that the name he is signing the bills with? What happens if, after he is gone (replaced or fired) it is discovered that he signed the bills into law using a fake name??
One noteworthy event since Kreep and Taitz filed this appeal of the denial of their motions for discovery is Obama’s “release” (well, public disclosure of a pdf if not legal release) of the very same LFBC document that the discovery motion was supposed to get into evidence.
I would expect that all things being equal, SCOTUS might regard Obama’s semi-release of the LFBC to constitute a semi-waiver of his “privacy rights” (so-called rights to fail to demonstrate eligibility to be POTUS).
IIRC the case will hinge on whether the lower court ruling is upheld that Keyes and the other candidate did not have a right to contest the eligibility of Obama because they "couldn't win." Even the appeals court judges squirmed over that at their hearing.
It is BEST to get him out now so that his appointments and laws can be voided and we can go back to being a Republic.
After the election his appointments and laws will become permanent and we will be stuck with them.
I agree!!! The time is now to confront Obama. He needs to be removed & get rid of ALL of his Appointments & Laws before they become permanent
