If conservatives can't unite behind forcing the Supreme Court to stop an ineligible Obama from taking office, what can we unite behind?

I know the announcement is due tomorrow, but i want to caution folks that not all the BC eggs are in this one basket of a case.

It is entirely possible that the justices want to hear the controversy, but do not believe this is the right case to do it.

i wish i was a fly on the wall for that conference, because i suspect it was a doozy.

Barack Obama! Don't you lie to me,
You're from Kenya Africa, not from Hawaii.

He trained at the madrassa, not PS 21,

His daddy was a Muslim, his mom not quite a nun,
He wants to be the president of these United States,

Imposing his religion like all past caliphates.
He may just be the Imam, the second after ten,

We don't know this sucker, not who nor where nor when.

Barack Obama! Don't you lie to me,

You're from Kenya Africa, not from Hawaii.

That's part of the problem with the Supreme Court - you can't FORCE them to do anything. They're unelected dictators, if they choose to be. They can rule that the First Amendment means that no on can criticize anyone with the name of "Smith", and their ruling has the full force of the law behind it. TS if you don't like it.

The Supreme Court should not and cannot ignore the Constitution!

The risk is too large to ignore. Should Obama goes on to be President, and at some point later turn out to be a fraud.

Every decision and appointment he made will be NULL and VOID !!!

The Constitution has been trampled on by all forms of government. Until you throw the bums out, it will continue. America likes the bums. The SC will take a pass. They like the DC cocktail parties too much. They like the bums.

"what can we unite behind?"

Too many still unite behind their Liberal family and friends. It's kinda as stupid as a gym rat drinking and smoking. In the end they won't be healthy and in the end we won't be free.

Those who provide social and familial support to the enemy are the enemy.

Just how do WE force the SCOTUS to do anything, much less our bidding???

And just how do we know for SURE that Obama is NOT a natural born citizen?

You’re right. We’ve gone to war for less. What can be more important than upholding the Constitution? There is nothing more important than defending the Constitution, the law of the land. This is no mere “interpretation of the Constitution” argument, like the “right to privacy”. This is black and white. Either this person is qualified as outlined clearly and succinctly by the Aritcle II Section 1, or he’s not. Are the facts surrounding his life circumstances true or not? Was his father a British subject at the time of his (NObama’s) birth or not? Does that give him dual citizenship, at best? Which is not good enough. This is not that hard to determine.

Loads of supposed “conservatives” are saying they will not touch it, let’s get them in 2010 and 2012 nonsense.

Leo gets it. It is about the power of citizens over a corrupt legislative and executive (to be) branches of govt. The judicial branh is the 3 branch that is supposed to protect the Constitution and citizenry against abuses by the other two branches of govt. Each branch is supposed to check the others power.

Where are the coward conservative talk show hosts?

It seems to me if they decide to force BHO to show his eligibility..they’re going to have to notify the prez first.

All kind of riots are going to happen and they’ll need the national guard in place to stop them from burning Chicago, Los Angeles..etc

The other day when O. J. got convicted groups was outside yelling racist at the courts. Imagine what will happen if BHO doesn’t get the presidency.

The upside is, all the millions spent on his election will help the economy. Even if it wasn’t Oprah and others intention to do so..

I think they could compel the hospital to produce a COLB.

Though I suspect as Barry’s mother was an American citizen, that will be enough to satisfy the Justices, and I think they’ll simply pass on the issue.

If the Supreme Court does not address the Donofrio case, I have a major problem with them. Donofrio’s brief addresses the Obama and McCain eligibility problems, but the other egregious eligibility problem he points out is the Calero issue. This guy was born in Nicaragua and is not even a citizen. He was on the ballot in several states running for President. The Calero issue is a no brainer and is part of the case. I think putting Calero in the suit is what got their attention and I don’t see how they can afford not to address it.

“The Supreme Court of the United States of America has but one primary obligation to the American people, and that obligation is to use the power afforded it under Article III—Section I of the Constitution, to uphold, protect and preserve the U.S. Constitution, the Charters of Freedom, and provide equal justice for all, without regard to personal political leanings or ambitionsÂ…”

Where is conservative talk radio on the most important issue to be before the court in the history of the republic?

Shame on them! I decided after listening to to rush for 18 years that his silence on this issue has made me decide to turn off my radio too.

I am temporarily going to play devils advocate here.

The SCOTUS will pass this up on several levels, first off because of the major disruptive issues that will entail afterward”s. First off would be the fact that every issue, nominee and position given out by Obama would have to be nullified, this cannot happen, a rotten potato has been placed under a massive pile of other potatoes and looking for and finding the rotten one will only damage the rest.
So in the eyes of the courts they do not want to damage the pile.

Another aspect of why this case will go nowhere is that if they did eventually find because of Obamas dual citizenship that future political candidates running for ANY office must follow those guidelines of natural borne unless they knew that at a later stage like the governor of California they could never be nominated for presidency, in Obamas case he probably never thought he had a chance to get where he is now and thus surfed on what credentials he did have which were enough until certain groups saw him as the answer to their prayers and moved him further up with massive cash influxed over several years with the manipulation of the MSM to promote his position towards becoming POTUS..

So they cannot enforce the requirements of the Constitution because it would require a complete overhaul of the election system making it too honest and fair, it would backtrack to too many offices and lawsuits about eligibility factors.

And then of course is the fear factor that they are afraid of flaming cities of deranged supporters running amok and challenging authorities.They are also afraid of past skeletons coming out of closets possibly their very own.

Obama will become President because he has studied for years all the loopholes of getting the Presidency, in effect he has become the ultimate lawyer using words and twisted facts that the jury can only believe because if they questioned anything it would mean years of sequestering and nobody wants that.

I vote for IGNORE.

They’ve been doing it for DECADES and fewer and fewer folks seem to notice.

Tune into Leno’s “Man on the Street” segment some night to understand why.

We’re surrounded by IDIOTS!

You not need a majority of the members of the SCOTUS to move the case against Obama forward. Rather, you just will need the support of the four Strict Constructionist justices.

They are:

Roberts
Scalia
Thomas
Alito

I trust that these four Great Men will uphold the Constitution.

And I am sure that on Jan. 20th Chief Justice John Roberts will deliver the oath of office to Barack Obama.

And while I might not like that, the Constitution will be upheld.
