Why The Media Blackout On Obama’s Citizenship
Canada Free Press ^ | Tuesday, December 9, 2008 | JR Dieckmann

Posted on 12/10/2008 2:15:20 PM PST by ckilmer

It seems that everyone today is asking why there is no media coverage of the many legal challenges to Obama’s eligibility to become president, based upon many valid questions regarding his citizenship. Instead of simply answering these challenges with documented proof of his citizenship, he has chosen instead to conceal from public view, every single legal document he has, and spend a half million dollars in lawyer fees to fight the cases in hopes of getting them dismissed or delayed indefinitely.

Here is Gov (commerce secretary elect)Bill Richardson saying in Spanish that Obama is an "immigrant." (So he understands understands "immigrant" issues.)The context suggests that by "immigrant" bill richardson means "illegal immigrant"



Here in plain English is the Kenyan Ambassador saying that Obama is born in Kenya.



............

from obama's own site factcheck.org by way of fightthesmears on his dual citizenship at birth

“When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom’s dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children.

Since Sen. Obama has neither renounced his U.S. citizenship nor sworn an oath of allegiance to Kenya, his Kenyan citizenship automatically expired on Aug. 4,1982.”

I picked this up from another thread on the subject. There was a link to a website discussing this...


Donofrio’s claims has a few problems, the first of which is that he fails to cite to the relevant rule that would prohibit a third referral before the full court considers the issue. He further confuses this issue by stating “no 3rd renewal is allowed” IF the full court denies it. This is exactly the same thing JudgeDredd said: “by sending it to the full court for review they can get rid of your case.” In other words, once the full court says “no go,” the case dies. You’ll note that Donofrio doesn’t say “no 3rd renewal, even if the full court DOESN’T consider it.” So, Donofrio is either agreeing with JudgeDredd or (more likely) trying to obfuscate the issue.

Secondly, Donofrio seems hung up on this “stern message” business. What happened is the first judge received the case (and denied it) and once the case was re-filed, the second judge sent it to conference, where it was killed off. In all likelihood, the first judge assumed the case would be done after the first denial, but Donofrio refiled. Then the full court denied the case. Donofrio seems to imply there is a way for the full court to deny the case without distributing it for conference, but doesn’t explain how that would take place. In order to do that, you’d need all the justices to weigh in on whether to deny it or grant it — and that’s what they do at the conferences. There’s no “secret squirrel” method of getting the “full court” to deny a case without distributing the case to each justice to consider. Moreover, it’s more likely the judges didn’t give the case enough of a second thought to even consider whether any sort of “stern message” (whatever Donofrio’s talking about) should issue, and that the judges simply felt the case was meritless and should be dismissed. That is, it’s possible Scalia viewed the case as a nuisance case and sent it to conference so that it could be aired as a nuisance case and killed off. Had any of the justices felt strongly enough about the case, any dissenters from the denial could have filed a written opinion along with the denial, which happens from time to time. That didn’t happen here, which is a strong indication none of the judges felt the case was worth spilling any more ink on the case than it took to write “denied.”

A significant issue with this whole file/re-file argument is that Donofrio’s case did not progress through the normal route. He appealed to the Supremes without setting out proper jurisdiction in the case (ref. his application for “emergency stay”). Typically cases get to SCOTUS after winding their way through the state or federal court system. Donofrio just skipped straight to the top without pointing to any Supreme Court practice rule that would let them take such a case. As a result of not identifying the appropriate jurisdictional “box” the case goes in, it’s extremely difficult to analyze how the justices should handle the case procedurally.

The bottom line is this: once the full court denies the case, the case has been effectively “rejected.” The fact the case got sent to conference may well have resulted from Justice Scalia saying, “I heard about this guy — he’s not going away until we send him an unambiguous message.” And that’s what the court did. Since Donofrio just restates JudgeDredd’s argument, Dredd wins the hand.

Price of Apology: Clinton, Obama, and the Hawaiian Quid Pro Quo

The greatest danger of the obama administration is that his approval of the acaca bill will lead to the crack up of the USA.

The saddest thing about the public works projects that the obama administration is proposing is that a lot of the work will be done by illegals who will earn the money and ship it south of the border.

Because of this issue not being discussed by Rush, Laura, Sean or Mark, I have stopped listening to them.

They have no creds what so ever!

Yes, and sad to say none of them are conservative talk show hosts.

Over 500 articles were posted worldwide on Monday that referred to the Donefrio case being rejected by SCOTUS. 200 more were posted on Tuesday. 100 more articles came out on the subject on Wednesday.

3-4 articles have been posted that refer to Scalia referring Cort Wrotnowski’s case to SCOTUS for review on Friday 12/12.

Everyone is paying close attention to this business. Its just sotto voce.

Well she gives the reason conservative talk show hosts are mum:

“I suspect that the media aren’t covering the story because they are convinced that Obama will become our next president, and they’ve decided to be safe, rather than sorry. “

Yeah, I know.

I can’t bear to listen to anyone right now.

The obama administration seems prepared to let the USA crack up.

Very few people seem to be willing to stick their neck out. The left does it all the time but a conservative would get roasted.

The article quotes a "Jack Wheeler". Do you know who he is?

I found some of the missing info!

Holly, Barry’s nanny After an encounter with the demon Rottweiller, she happily hangs herself from the roof of the Thorns’ house. The dog hypnotised her to do this so that
Mrs. Baylock would become Barry’s new nanny.

Father Brennan Impaled by a church spire that was knocked down by a lightning bolt.

The Thorns’ unborn child Dies following Kathy’s fall from the landing.

Father Spiletto Dies naturally and possibly from the damage caused to his body 5 years ago in the fire that destroyed the original hospital in Rome.

The Thorn’s Firstborn Son Was killed by a fracture in the skull as soon as he was born. It was then called a stillbirth so the Thorns would adopt Damien. The body was found buried in the grave next to the demonic jackal that gave birth to Barry in a cemetery 50 kilometers north of Rome.

Maria Avedici Santoya Died giving birth to Barry. Her tomb was opened by Robert Thorn and Keith Jennings, and her canine-like corpse was discovered.

Kathy Thorn Pushed out of hospital window by Mrs. Baylock and lands on ambulance below.

Keith Jennings Decapitation by a pane of glass that slid off the back of a truck.

Mrs. Baylock Stabbed in the neck by Robert Thorn.

Robert Thorn Shot by diplomatic police when he tries to kill Barry.

Hmmm. Sounds a lot like the 1976 “The Omen”

I'm thinking Blagojovich was sprung yesterday because we are getting too close.

Don't forget, this is Fitzwillie doing the announcement, and he didn't have anything on scooter ... but it went for .. what? .. a year and a half?

I think the bottom line is ... Zero is in a heap of cahcah, and he's not so arrogant now.

It might even explain all those "acceptable" appontments.

Perhaps "they're" doing all they can to save his (and their) ass(es) and they are desperate to get to December 15 .. then Jan 20.

Carl, you magnificent bastard .. start moving our guys.

Personally I think they are wrong in their silence, they believe that by being silent they won’t be silenced.

The left doesn’t care if they are quiet about this their days on the airways are numbered and the fairness doctrine will be used to shut them down.

There was no blackout when Donofrio’s case was dropped. Reading the local newspaper you would think that was the end of it. No mention of the Cort case or any of the others in the pipeline or any details of the substance of the arguments.

The media is ethically and morally bankrupt. With the grace of God they will shortly be financially bankrupt.

Be careful about mentioning that Rush is avoiding this subject. A couple of days ago, I said something about him not having any cajones and immediate got flamed by a dozen Rush bots. (not that it caused me to lose any sleep)

Rush is Rush and he certainly is an excellent entertainer and generally picks the Left apart. But I take him with a grain as to being a leader of any particular faction, he is what he is...it was very apparent from the interview Rush did with BWA Walters.
