Told ya so.
Can we now move on to more likely to succeed opposition to Obama?
not a shock in my opinion. Leo said it had little chance to make it once they did not make a ruling on Friday.
Gary Kreep is going to be a buy man the next four years.
The voters know all they want about Obama.
It is now time to get serious in the fight against his POLICIES.
So Obama won.
He fought all the way to the Supreme Court to avoid showing his birth certificate. /golfclap
Anyone else, for any other job, and that person would be called a nutcase to spend so much money, to avoid such a simple task.
Clearly its over, but to anyone who thinks about this in a critical manner, its clear that he had a terrible secret to hide.
onothing can be challenged in other ways and it’s not going to go away or die .this is just a minor setback.cheer up
I think it will not go away and in fact may become larger since he did fight so hard to avoid producing it.
It will not go away.
Note to the SCOTUS: You'd've done this nation a service by airing this out.
“Denied”
But, where was Obama born? Did the Supremes answer that?
Something to hide? Yep, not a doubt in my mind.
But, more importantly, the US Constitution has been dealt another blow by the Liberals.
I fear for the future of this grand experiment.
We will all expect you to get right on that.
Clearly its over, but to anyone who thinks about this in a critical manner, its clear that he had a terrible secret to hide.
:::::::::::
And along with this, it is CLEAR that the SCOTUS is more interested in politics, than it is upholding the LAW OF THE CONSTITUTION. We continue to enter a very sad time in American history whereby the example of the SCOTUS and Obama, et al, is encouraging the people to avoid and break the law to accomplish their objectives, good or bad.
A complete travesty of justice, if there really is any left in America.
I guess we have to pin hope ion the Alan Keyes case?
Nothing has changed.
I’ve been saying this for the past week, yea. Maybe now the FR will regain a bit of its sanity and purpose.
Too bad. When does the revolution begin?
once again, judges decide whether or not to enforce law. in this case, constitutional law.
and anyone that thinks it makes sense for 0bama to go through all this trouble to avoid showing a simple birth certificate, really needs to stop drinking the kool-aid
Yeah, Alan Keyes...will definitely hitch my wagon to THAT star...
Have no fear there are at least 15 others out there.
Someone will end up being extremely sorry in letting this guy off the hook. Its pretty obvious something is very phony about his birth and legal status.
And, people are still being encarcerated for stealing a loaf of bread.
Hillary jumped the shark be taking the Sec. of State job and is in no position to be critical.
As said on another thread... country as we know it, is slowly coming to an end... how a fraud and empty suit like this gets all this way is beyond comprehension.
At least it’s getting media attention now and will dog him for a while.
and the reason was...
can’t wait to hear on what grounds it was rejected....i guess this opens the door for any tom / dick or harry to run no matter where he or she is from since there is nothing in place to ensure the person is a true american...hmmm which brings up this thought....what is an american anymore...??
I am ignorant of legal affairs but I had hoped that the suits were written and filed correctly and would be heard by the SCOTUS. Will we ever know the reasons for not hearing the case? Are all the justices spineless or is there a valid reason for their action? Does the Constitution mean anything?
Sadly, all three branches of our government must be under the control of one party.
I have never felt such pity for my country.
Poop!
I hope nobody here seriously thought the Supreme Court would uphold the Constitution in a case involving the black messiah! Goodness, what would you be thinking....
Schwarzenegger/Granholm 2016!!
This case had nothing to do with the birth certificate.
Please do not label “insane” the calling out of illegality.
If we become so cynical as to roll over and accept anything thrust upon us because the odds are daunting we are doomed.
We have to fight to uphold standards and law. We also fight against those that ridicule us for doing so, as you are doing.
When applying for a writ of certiorari the court reads your briefs. If they side for you they grant cert, which means they will review the trial court record and the new briefs that you submit. Then they can decide to hold a hearing.
I have to admit there was still some small part of me that believed truth would conquer lies, good would conquer evil, right would conquer wrong. I know... I know, I should have forgotten all those silly ideas when more than half our country voted for Obama, but there you go.
I guess, now, all a Presidential candidate has to do to prove they’re eligible is to say they’re eligible, act huffy, and lawyer up when asked to prove it by citizens (those puny little people who obviously no longer matter AT ALL in what used to be America). Of course, this only goes for Socialist, politically correct candidates. Republicans have to have lived spotless, blameless lives, documented to the Nth degree.
Donofro’s case didn’t question where Obama was born, it started with the assumption that he was born in Hawaii. His case was to challenge what is defined as a natural born citizen, arguing original intent instead of what is recognized under Title 8.
What a sad day for the country and the Consitution.
The Lightfoot case represented by Orly is next before the Keyes case.
Leo was just the tip of a very big iceberg - Loooooong way from over!!!
I’ve “been on this” since the election. How ‘bout you?
Not a big shock.
“Too bad. When does the revolution begin?”
It’s over. We lost, comrade.
It’s like I’ve been saying in these previous posts about the Supreme Court taking up this Constitutional issue, about Obama being a “natural-born Kenyan” and not being qualified as President of the United States. They’re not interested in resolving this issue right now — but — they probably will resolve it after Obama has served his term in office... LOL..
So much for the Constitution these days...
Reason was the SCOTUS didn’t want to upset the apple cart.
And that is a real good reason to ignore the Constitution. God forbid people not like it.
(sarcasm off)
Uh, defending the Constitution IS our purpose. If you want to get along to go along and pretend everything is hunky-dory then go somewhere else.
My mind will not change for any reason short of the release of the vaulted BC from its concealment.

Begin by finding out who the REPUBLICANS are. Locally, that means, perhaps, getting some good polling as to who those 20% of GOP voters who voted for Obama are. No sense working to turn out the base if 20% of the base votes for the other guy.
I will wait to see what happens with Cort’s case and Keyes’ case.
Maybe it is time that we stand up and riot FOR the Constitution.
