I wonder if this birthplace question, which won't go away, is why Obama, the Kenyan, has looked so distracted lately.

Sadly, I doubt any court, including SCOTUS, will get involved in this matter. I hope I’m wrong.

From what I’ve read it sounds like there are suits coming up in at least 10 states now.

I sent an e-mail to the Cal secretary of state’s office before the election. The response was that the parties were responsible to certify their candidates. I replied that they must be extremely naive to think that Howard Dean vetted Obama or anyone else for that matter.

Can you even imagine the riots in the streets if this empty suit is found ineligible to be POTUS because he was not born in the US? Keep your ammo dry my friends. ;-)

Alan Keyes is not a krank. He is a constitutional scholar.

There must be something to this or it wouldn’t have legs.

He could end a lot of this speculation by just showing the BC. This is all too odd to hide so much from his past while fighting these cases.

More like he’s way, way over his head and now he’s starting to get a little taste of reality. Now that American lives, not just talk, lies in his hands with every choice he makes is a little weightier than he imagined... That the first security briefing was just a bit scarier than he thought and undoing anything Bush may just come at a very high price and that price will lie at his door step for all of history.

court petition filed on behalf of former presidential candidate Alan Keyes and others.

Oh. This is good. The word certainly is getting out. The more it gets out, the more people wonder.
This is a good thing. I think even if Oboma turns out to be a natural born citizen, every presidential candidate should be required to prove their residency. Why not? It should have been mandatory anyway.

Presidential candidate Alan Keyes, AIP leaders sue in CA court to obtain Obama citizenship proof, stop Secretary of State from certifying Electors

Fenton, MI – November 14, 2008

Presidential candidate Alan Keyes, vice-presidential candidate Wiley S. Drake, and the Chairman of the American Independent Party, Markham Robinson, have filed suit in California Superior Court in Sacramento seeking to bar Secretary of State Debra Bowen from certifying to Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger the names of Electors, and from transmitting to each presidential Elector a Certificate of Election, until documentary proof is produced and verified showing that Senator Obama is a “natural born” citizen of the United States, and does not hold citizenship of Indonesia, Kenya or Great Britain.

In addition, they have asked that the court issue a peremptory writ barring Senator Obama’s California Electors from signing the Certificate of Vote until such documentary proof is produced and verified.

In response to questions about why the suit was being filed, Ambassador Alan Keyes commented, “I and others are concerned that this issue be properly investigated and decided before Senator Obama takes office. Otherwise there will be a serious doubt as to the legitimacy of his tenure. This doubt would also affect the respect people have for the Constitution as the supreme law of the land. I hope the issue can be quickly clarified so that the new President can take office under no shadow of doubt. This will be good for him and for the nation.”

Former Reagan administration official Ambassador Alan Keyes and Wiley S. Drake were the 2008 presidential and vice-presidential nominees of the American Independent Party, which is the California affiliate of the new national America’s Independent Party.

Mission Viejo, California attorney Dr. Orly Taitz and United States Justice Foundation Executive Director Gary Kreep are representing the plaintiffs in this case.

Copies of the court filing, along with further information concerning developments in this case, will be made available at www.AIPNEWS.com, or can be obtained by contacting AIP national chairman Tom Hoefling. (tomhoefling@gmail.com)

SCOTUS has ordered that Obammy’s birth certificate be provided by December 1, 2008. By withholding the certificate, obviously, he has something to hide!

If SCOTUS is truly interested in protecting the Constitution, they will hear these cases. If not, Obama will stand before the Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court and subvert the very document the Court should protect. To me the irony is unescapable.

I've tended to think it's mostly about the problem he has in setting off with his neo-Marxist desires (and strong-willed "supporters") with an American public that continues to learn about who he actually is.

He isn’t releasing it, in my opinion, so that this kind of stuff can drag on and on and on...and when he finally releases it, and proves he is a citizen, then ALL THE LEGITIMATE CRITICISM of Hussein will be afterwards effectively ignored.

I dont think it would matter. The constitution does not specify one must be born in the US. It only states you must be a ‘natural born’ citizen and there is a lot of debate about what this means exactly. Some have gone as far as to say being born on an American military installation overseas is not good enough. Others say all one needs is to meet the requirements of being a citizen at birth. Obama would hold citizenship no matter where he was born because his mom was a citizen. The case of McCain is in the middle of the two because he was born outside of the Panama Canal zone it would make his eligibility questionable if using the tighter standard. I think that no matter what is decided the issue needs to be made crystal clear because modern travel will make this issue likely to come up in the future.

The biggest question is why Obama, if a Hawaii birth certificate exists, simply hasn't ordered it made available to settle the rumors.

I just looked on the Hawaii Department of Health website. The only type of birth record that one can request from them is a "certified copy" of a birth certificate, which I think is the type of document that Obama has previously displayed. (Personally I believe that this is a real document.)

So what is really being requested here is that Obama "order" that the original vault copy of his birth certificate be displayed. Various speculative theories hold that this original certificate will reveal information not on the modern "certified copy" and that this additional information will somehow disqualify him.

Perhaps Obama could request that the Hawaii DOH take the unusual step of somehow displaying his original birth certificate (which they apparently never do for anyone else), but he can't "order" the DOH to do so, since he has no authority over them.

Perhaps a court could do so, but wouldn't it have to be an Hawaiian court?

There is nobody left in our government with the spine to fight for the Constitution, least of all in the judiciary.

Oaths of office are meaningless and empty when nobody even cares what the answer to this issue is, but rather it's viewed as a silly and obtuse waste of time.

Come to think of it, more and more Americans view the Constitution the same way: an obtuse waste of time.

The biggest question is why Obama, if a Hawaii birth certificate exists, simply hasn't ordered it made available to settle the rumors.

Obama has had two years to conjur up the best forged birth certificate that (campaign) money can buy - and if he is foreign-born, I'd be willing to bet he's already got it standing by just in case.

IMO this withholding the certificate is about something else. But what, I'm not sure.

An in camera review by a judge would keep any embarassing details that have no constitutional implications private, while confirming the geographical location of Obama’s birth.

What is the mechanism to enforce the constitutional mandate regarding the citizenship status of a president? Does a candidate have to prove his citiznship status, and to whom? If not, why not? If the proof submitted is dubious, who has standing to challenge it?

And given the practical realities of how we elect our presidents, isn’t the time to settle such questions prior to the election itself?

I honestly do not see this issue going anywhere. If Obama were suddenly declared a non-American, thus the election null and void, the Watts Riots would look like a Sunday school picnic compared to the total riot that would break out on the left and by Dimocrats. Then the issue would go to the Supreme Court. THEN it is how Kennedy votes that would decide. If he decided with the conservatives and Obama was kicked out on a 5-4 vote, the dims would come unglued and the riots would continue to burn. Obama would add fuel to the fire by declaring the white men in the Supremes denied the black man his rightful place.
