Without comment, the high court on Monday refused to hear an appeal from Alan Keyes, Wiley Drake and Markham Robinson.

People if you do not realize the fix is in and we are simply cash cows to be milked for the ruling elite’s enjoyment then you are in complete denial.

The very notion that a US Citizen does not have standing before the US Supreme Court is so foreign in concept to the government given to us by the founders as to defy reason.

What you said!

Honestly, I'm beginning to warm up to the idea of secession, especially if this usurper (GOD forbid) gets back in.

That rumbling sound is the Founding Fathers rolling over in their graves!! This is a continuing issue with these types of Constitutional questions. No court, do document, NOTHING defines who has the standing to bring these types of issues to the Court. IMO, ANY American citizen should have the standing to bring a fundamental Constitutional issue such as the president's eligibilty to court and be heard. However, I'm not a lawyer and don't play one on TV! Apparently, it will take an act of Congress to define who has legitimate standing to bring this type of action into court and be heard. What would be fun and interesting (and cause the libs and activist judges to go nuts!) would be to sue in court to force the court to determine the requirements for standing to question the president's eligibiity. I'd stock up on popcorn, for that one!! It would be like watching Miracle on 34th Street in real life!! It will be, to my dying day, a continuing disappointment that the Founding Fathers had to leave the care and protection of the US AND the Constitution to men and women of substantially lesser ability. Thus, the rumbling sound.

Legitimately, you’re probably right. But he could be treated as he has by Hawaii, they just give him legitimacy without reality. Did the clintoons have to show proof to become voters in NY state? I doubt it. They were probably given ‘assumptions’ just the way Hawaii legitimzes the little bastard commie.

The office of elector, of course, ends after his vote is cast. Thus, it seems, that only a State could raise the issue. I just wish a court would say so, rather than stand silent.

“no compelling argument,” you say?

No compelling argument? I would submit that there is no greater compeling argument than circumstances currently presents: the United States of America stands perched on the edge of destruction, intentional destruction, because an usurper has lied his way into our Executive branch. It is an emergency, a catasprohe of the highest order.

Foreign invasion a la Red Dawn? at least the population would then know their enemy. This situation is killin us from within by rendering our founding laws moot. Laws are what keep a republic in existence.

SCOTUS are cowards who know the US is a walking corpse that hasn’t the sense yet to stop walking around.

We need a rulebook, it seems, to figure out what rules need to be followed and what rules are window dressing only.

At least Obama doesn't get to play the victim. Can you imagine the sick pleasure he would have taken in commanding his surrogates and the MSM to get out there and pretend it's all motivated by racism? As it stands, the POTUS who's as popular as head lice has to figure out another way to get back into the voters’ good graces. Hint: it ain't happenin’.

Keye should have standing but the 9th circus court ruled that he because the lawsuit was filed AFTER Obama was sworn, then he was no longer a candidate at that point, and therefore no longer had any potential for legal standing. Yes, I know, it’s a retarded ruling, but the Supreme Court upheld it by failing to accept the case.

” An elector, maybe, but how could he/she show injury?”


Uh, the last 3 years would certainly be injury. And if we can have “friend of the court” briefs we certainly should allow US Citizens to challenge an action by government when it is obvious the elected officials will not act.

Something tells me there are still enough people in congress and on the USSC who’s name may appear in the 500+ FBI files obtained by the BJ in chief and the only way for them to do a CYA is to not act at all.

If we as citizens do not have standing AND we have proof positive that the BC is forged (WE DO) then just what recourse do we have other than taking it like sheep and hoping enough people have escaped the public education brainwashing to through this toilet bug out of the White House?

After reading and learning what the founders when through to give us this government OF THE PEOPLE I refuse to believe and accept that we are powerless. This ruling elite crap must come to an end. Thomas Jefferson told us so.

Then you choose not to believe 0’s family and his own biography of 16 years. And your supportive information has been deemed fraudulent, scrubbed or sealed. Good Grief.

But it is the State that gives us the right to vote. The Constitution only guarantees equitable treatment by the state.

"The Republicans decided to pass on challenging Obama, so the Court is treating this as a political issue settled by the last election. "

Correct.

The republican party has abandoned their sworn oaths to defend the Constitution.

Most here will still vote straight republican ticket without even batting and eye.

Supreme Court says Not Our Job To Qualify POTUS.
++++++++++
Right or wrong, I do believe that is the position the Court has taken.

“Honestly, I’m beginning to warm up to the idea of secession, especially if this usurper (GOD forbid) gets back in.”


Yes it would seem the only one with “standing” in this country loves it when his Muslim Brotherhood overthrows a country. Maybe the MudSlime in chief would like a little of his own medicine.

It is insane that the USA is like a roach motel in that you can enter but never leave. The ruling elite never relinquish power voluntarily. Ah, but we are delving into the realm of the “War of Northern Aggression” and we lost any right to secession.

Obama is such a toilet bug.

Of course those Justices have the power to remove Obama from office

No, they don't.

It takes a majority of the House and two thirds of the Senate. The Supreme Court's only involvement is to send the Chief Justice to preside over the Senate deliberations while wearing extra fancy robes.

Ask yourselves how realistic is it to have common-sense expectations in this case. Anyone have a mental picture of the day AFTER the SCOTUS declared he did NOT meet the birth/citizenship requirements for the office? Who would be left in the ashes?
