Sheriff Joe challenges eligibility in Florida
WND ^ | June 13, 2012 | Art Moore

Posted on 06/13/2012 7:23:27 AM PDT by Smokeyblue

Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio and his Cold Case Posse lead investigator have submitted sworn affidavits in a Florida case challenging President Obama’s eligibility for the election ballot of the crucial swing-state that decided the 2000 presidential election.

Significantly, Judge Terry Lewis in Leon County – known for his rulings in the Bush v. Gore case at the center of the 2000 contested election – has confronted the White House for failing to support its claim that the term “natural born citizen” in the U.S. Constitution means something other than the offspring of two American citizens.

Lewis has scheduled a hearing for Monday at 9 a.m. at the Leon County Courthouse in Tallahassee to hear the Obama team’s motion to dismiss the case and determine whether it should go forward with discovery.

Affidavits from Arpaio, Cold Case Posse lead investigator Mike Zullo and WND author and senior reporter Jerome Corsi have been filed ahead of the hearing. The briefs support the complaint’s charge that there is evidence Obama is constitutionally ineligible for the White House and, therefore, original documentation is needed to determine whether he should be on the ballot.

Attorney Larry Klayman, founder of the Washington, D.C., watchdogs Judicial Watch and Freedom Watch, is representing a registered member of the Democratic Party, Michael Voeltz, who has filed the complaint as a Florida voter. Klayman’s work is supported by the non-profit ConstitutionActionFund.org.

Klayman told WND today that unlike other Obama eligibility cases, this case “likely will go the distance” because of the strength of Florida law, which provides voters with the right to challenge a candidate’s eligibility.

“The judge must make a decision based on eligibility,” Klayman explained. “He can’t sidestep it as judges in other states have attempted to do.”

I think what is needed is the entire newspaper from the day of the announcements. That would destroy the credibility of the [IMHO fake] microfilm copies.

With just a fraction of the page, a clipping, the MSM and Foggers will say “where is the context”, and ironically claim forgery.

Even a folded page from the original paper would be vastly stronger than a small cutting.

On June 9th , the Sheriff was at Vegas giving a speech.

See the video at Bitherreport. Very good video. He's looking confident and calm.

He said in a few weeks he will give a press conference.

So it looks like he will deliver before July. So that could be any day now.

I saw a video of the first Kenyan lady last night. She's looking down. Poll numbers must be telling her to pack.

The Grandparents filed the paperwork in Hawaii, generating the announcements.

I think they interviewed people that he knew in his teen years and maybe they are on video talking about his tales of his birth in Kenya.

The Obots must be very nervous about the work of the CCP

Yeah, they are more worried about not being able to reach their goal because of the missing "C" in C.C.C.P.

I’m thinking arrest records too.

Zullo said the investigation took them into slums. Police are busy in slums.

Sounds like the dam is about to burst.

You got that right.

We saw a very slight MSM turn about a year ago when Chrissie blurted out "We know 0b0z0 IS born in HI, why doesn't he show his BC and get it over with."

An O.T. today, 0b0z0 is speaking about his grand economic strategy in Ohio. He'll "BushFault" the whole thing. It’s becoming a new verb in the communist language!

I'm sure y'all heard what the RATS are saying and complaining about and I'm paraphrasing, "when is 0kaka going to take responsibility for the economy and that he has to come up with a plan NOT BLAME!"

They are masking their worries by "worrying" about the Indie vote. Not true, it's their RAT vote that they're worried about most. Moreover, what they don't say is that they're extremely worried about what the Chicago thugs are going to do to the country in order to reelect 0bastard without an election.

Wow, Supreme court of Georgia.

Will they start accepting fraudulent documents?

State supreme courts are not known to take fraud lightly.

He is demanding all this info from Sheriff Joe, while Holder himself is being asked for documents by Congress and is stonewalling. I can’t wait till Holder is held in contempt.

Heh heh, the good Sheriff should just tell Holder and the press that he already "responded".

This is getting surreal.

Georgia Supremes will be looking at testimony from law enforcement that states all of his identification documents are fraudulent. This is just incredible.

I remember the drama of Nixon’s final year. This crime is a million times worse.

Here's the money quote from Luria. I had seen this before, but didn't really think about what this meant until it was posted again recently by Mr.Rogers.
Under our Constitution, a naturalized citizen stands on an equal footing with the native citizen in all respects save that of eligibility to the Presidency. Minor v. Happersett, 21 Wall. 162, 88 U. S. 165; Elk v. Wilkins, 112 U. S. 94, 112 U. S. 101; Osborn v. Bank of United States, 9 Wheat. 738, 22 U. S. 827.

link to source

Foggers cite this because it uses the term "native citizen" instead of "natural-born citizen" ... but Wong Kim Ark and its definition of "native-born citizen" is conspicuously absent in this citation, despite the fact that it predates this decision. Luria first cites Minor that said:

At common-law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners.

In this definition (which is basically from the Law of Nations), natives = natural-born citizens = BOTH are defined by birth in the country to citizen parents. Wong Kim Ark defined natives as birth in the country to resident aliens. The Luria court is ONLY accepting the Minor citation, not Wong Kim Ark. Second, it ties this directly to presidential eligibility. This means that all the current courts that try to cite Wong Kim Ark are in error. The Supreme Court unanimously cites Minor as THE legal precedent on presidential eligibility.

Luria also cites Elk v. Wilkins which, while noting the Constitutional differences between birth and naturalization, also says:

The evident meaning of these last words is not merely subject in some respect or degree to the jurisdiction of the United States, but completely subject to their political jurisdiction and owing them direct and immediate allegiance.

Indians born within the territorial limits of the United States ... are no more "born in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof," within the meaning of the first section of the Fourteenth Amendment, than the children of subjects of any foreign government born within the domain of that government

These quotes simply destroy the idea that a person who is simply born on U.S. soil would automatically be eligible for the presidency. Such persons have to at least be COMPLETELY subject to the United States. Any kind of divided allegiance thus negates that the person in question is a natural-born citizen.

Again, the omission of Wong Kim Ark as a citation on presidential eligibility is conspicuous in its absence. THE legal precedent is first and foremost the Minor decision: all children born in the country to PARENTS who were its citizens. 27 Supreme Court justices have agreed on this definition. There is no higher legal authority in this country.

Hopefully it would force the court to subpoena the Selective Service and Social Security Administration to provide the original applications for those documents.

I honestly think the Georgia supremes will just dismiss the case on July 1st.

Why? Because it is a case that rose up from the Malihi court.

IMHO the Georgia Judiciary is simply ignoring the constitution and Georgia state law because *politicians* control them.

I think the GOPe price was NRC authority from the federal Government to build a nuclear power plant.

Thanks very much for the info. So, Luria, which touches on the subject of eligibility, cites MvH but not WKA. That's quite telling.

"Any kind of divided allegiance thus negates that the person in question is a natural-born citizen."

In any honest, logic-based approach to the question of why the founders inserted the NBC verbiage in A2S1C5, the issue of potential for divided loyalties comes out on top as the most straightforward, simplest explanation.

That's why in Minor, Justice Waite said ". . .with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar. . ." to dispose of Minor's attempt to use the 14th Amendment to buttress her argument, and instead defined her citizenship as a type preceding the 14th.
