Sheriff Joe challenges eligibility in Florida
WND ^ | June 13, 2012 | Art Moore

Posted on 06/13/2012 7:23:27 AM PDT by Smokeyblue

Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio and his Cold Case Posse lead investigator have submitted sworn affidavits in a Florida case challenging President Obama’s eligibility for the election ballot of the crucial swing-state that decided the 2000 presidential election.

Significantly, Judge Terry Lewis in Leon County – known for his rulings in the Bush v. Gore case at the center of the 2000 contested election – has confronted the White House for failing to support its claim that the term “natural born citizen” in the U.S. Constitution means something other than the offspring of two American citizens.

Lewis has scheduled a hearing for Monday at 9 a.m. at the Leon County Courthouse in Tallahassee to hear the Obama team’s motion to dismiss the case and determine whether it should go forward with discovery.

Affidavits from Arpaio, Cold Case Posse lead investigator Mike Zullo and WND author and senior reporter Jerome Corsi have been filed ahead of the hearing. The briefs support the complaint’s charge that there is evidence Obama is constitutionally ineligible for the White House and, therefore, original documentation is needed to determine whether he should be on the ballot.

Attorney Larry Klayman, founder of the Washington, D.C., watchdogs Judicial Watch and Freedom Watch, is representing a registered member of the Democratic Party, Michael Voeltz, who has filed the complaint as a Florida voter. Klayman’s work is supported by the non-profit ConstitutionActionFund.org.

Klayman told WND today that unlike other Obama eligibility cases, this case “likely will go the distance” because of the strength of Florida law, which provides voters with the right to challenge a candidate’s eligibility.

“The judge must make a decision based on eligibility,” Klayman explained. “He can’t sidestep it as judges in other states have attempted to do.”

I didn’t read your comment carefully. I was thinking about a passenger manifest of someone entering HI with a baby or small child during that missing week, with a famous name accompanying said child/baby.

Any news with “Joe Arpaio” in it goes to the top of my reading list!

I'm relieved that it ain't 0h0m0's derriere!

My guess is that they found hard copies of the 1961 Honolulu newspapers and none of them contain any announcements about a birth to Mr. and Mrs. Barack Hussein Obama. Can’t wait to see how the Foggers try to explain that.

If so, the village FogDums would likely claim that Arpaio created a forgery.

Oh, how ironic that would be. LoL.

this case “likely will go the distance”

Sure, after getting a certain phone call Friday evening the judge will allow it to go the distance all the way to 9:03 AM Monday and that'll be the end of yet another case against the usurper.

Klayman’s client is a Florida Democrat. There maybe more than one client for the plaintiffs. I believe the FL court has moved beyond any standing issue.

That doesn’t make any sense. How can the court clerk tell the plaintiff in a court case that the decision is “Historic” if the decision has not been and will not be made public until closer to July 1st.

If the clerk does know isn't it a serious breach to leak it?

Isn't this the Malihi case?

Who keeps copies of daily papers from 50+ years ago?

Simple. People for whom a certain date holds a sentimental value. For example, whose wedding was in Hawai'i on August 4, 1961? Such a person would want to keep a newspaper from that date.

THURSDAY, JUNE 7, 2012

Press Release: Judy v. Obama Georgia Supreme Court Docketed June 7th,2012

FOR IMMEDIATE PRESS RELEASE:

Three Bullet Points:

1) Cody Robert Judy v. Barack Hussein Obama has been docketed in the Georgia Supreme Court Case No. S12D1584

2) Within the Application for Review is Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s Cold Case Posse which concluded there is probable cause that Obama’s long form birth certificate released by Obama is a forged document as well as Obama’s selective service draft registration.

3) With the three questions asked in the Supreme Court Application the Justices will have a candidate with standing, asking about the precedent of the U.S. Supreme Court on ‘natural born citizen’ and the ground work that a denial basically sets starts precedent for a release of anyone who has committed fraud or forgery.
The questions asked a Supreme Court are not to be taken lightly. They involve deep rooted issues that often affect each and every person and touch families in the living room.

Our United States Constitution is a document that is considered whole. In other words, deconstruction of any one part of it is a violation of precedent and the rules of construction. In laymen’s terms you can’t start withdrawing bricks from any wall and expect not to have sirens go off.

De-construction of the Constitution is exactly what Obama subscribes to though and has done so since swearing by oath that he was a “natural born citizen” qualified for the office of the President.

While Court clerks and Secretaries of States’ are the gate keepers, they don’t profess to be able to stand up to someone out right lying to them under oath. That is essentially how Obama has managed his way into the White House since his late summer win over Hillary Clinton in 2008 and subsequent win over Republican Sen. John McCain.
Drawn into the summer, gave Obama a big strategic advantage. Why sue a candidate if he’s not going to be the nominee? Who knows if a challenge should be mounted? I’m sure you get the point. By the time Obama was declared the Democratic Nominee his snowball chance was rolling with loads of cash to protect him from Ballot Challenges in every state, and any Presidential Candidate chances of getting to a Supreme Court that had not already received Obama favors, ie Sen. John McCain’s Sen. Res. 511 declaring the Panama son an American ‘natural born citizen’, co-chaired by Obama, was left to write-in candidates or third party candidates.

In 2011 the 9th Circuit Court of appeals ruled that Presidential candidates have standing, but those challenging in 2008 didn’t seem to be running in 2012, so couldn’t claim continued damages. Retrospective damage was dismissed by the Court in the ruling of Barnett v. Obama.

2012 dawns a new light. While the Birther movement has continually been scalded by the media and stung as fringe, the true sting is an assault upon the qualification of the President to hold office demanded by the Constitution which is as was said not a document that invites further construction without a 2/3rd majority of Congress.
The 8-12 challenges to the clause even from the onslaught of Obama’s political career in Illinois outlining the qualifications of the Office of the President in the legislature have all been soundly defeated.
Why main stream media doesn’t champion those defeats in the legislature and accredit the Birther movement to the sound principle championed by the Legislative Branch to Main Street is pretty good writing on the wall that spots a corporate agenda.

Today, June 7th,2012 Cody Robert Judy ( a presidential candidate in the Democratic Party) v. Barack Hussein Obama has been docketed in the Georgia Supreme Court in a application for review. What makes this case so unique is it is brought by a Candidate for President that started at the lowest level – A Ballot Challenge, for the court that means it has roots, and now that is in the highest court of the State of Georgia that ultimately is charged to protect the United States Constitution, things could be different.
You can’t find an Obama eligibility challenge anywhere in 2012 that has a Candidate for President in the same party, coming to the highest Court of the State, with time for their decision to make a difference before the Democrat National Convention in September. Supreme Courts have a reputation of making sure if they do rule on a case that their decision is not moot.

If the prospective of the Occupant of the White House being a total fraud offering forged documents as accrediting his qualification isn’t enough to unhinge your gate and you think Cody’s just spouting his mouth, wait just a minute there’s more. You probably have heard of Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s Cold Case Posse that consisted of 2200 hours of law enforcement investigation on Obama’s long form birth certificate?
Cody Robert Judy was the first qualified Candidate for the Office of the President to grab hold of that law enforcement investigation with the integrity of upholding the law and on March 2nd,2012 placed that whole investigation into the Superior Court of Georgia’s consideration which now the Supreme Court has as a staggering dismissal on their plate.

A good read of the questions presented to the Supreme Court shows the corner Obama has placed upon Justice in the United States. If the Court hears the case and agrees with precedent, Obama could be placed as a ‘disability’ to the Constitution and Congress could be placed on Notice to act on his removal as a ‘disability’.
If the Supreme Court doesn’t act, legal construction exist to free anyone in the Georgia penal system or for that matter the United States, to be set free sentenced by the law on crimes of fraud or forgery, because what’s good for Obama ought to be good for any prisoner convicted or sentenced by the law, if allowed, Obama skirts. That quandary exists in Cody Robert Judy’s 3rd question to the Justices in Georgia.

Obama’s probability to have it both ways is the sort of non-transparency that has existed from Obama’s first executive order sealing all his documents. Only problem with those executive orders is they are no good unless they are signed by an eligible President under the Constitution.

Stay tuned for more action.

"Public donations to Joe's Posse is the best way to advance his investigative efforts and for him to maintain a showing of independence and objectivity."

Already done. I'm sending more next payday. I realize that "our last, best hope" sounds trite, but that's the way I feel about the efforts of the CCP. The Obots must be very nervous about the work of the CCP also, because they've definitely cranked up the amount of comments smearing them over at ORYR lately.

That the Sheriff mentioned fraud and Barky's Social Security number in the same breath as the LFBC and Selective Service registration is interesting to say the least. I'm eagerly (anxiously, even) anticipating the forthcoming release of the latest findings by the Posse.

Thanks for the Ping, melancholy!

Do either of you have any idea when Sheriff Joe and the Posse are going to do their next presser? Like...will it be days? or weeks? Mike Zullo said in his interview from Hawaii with the Tea Party Power Hour that it would be middle of June, if not sooner. Well, it’s almost the middle of June! I’m on pins and needles waiting for this, like many are. Just wondering if you’ve heard anything that you can share.

Thanks!

"I have not met the Obot yet who can explain why the Framers would have preferred the person in the highest office in the land w innately divided loyalties over one w sole loyalty to the USA."

I nominate this post for threadwinner!

That statement is SO true. Every time I've bumped up against an Obot with that glaring truth, the best they've ever been able to come back with is something along the lines of how every judge, every court case heretofore has refused to rule that way, ad nauseum.

They can't respond coherently to such a posit, because anything they would say directly counter to it would completely fly in the face of simple logic.

Good point. And the moonbat meme I love the most is, ‘Obama must be A-Okay because no official has challenged him or investigated him’.

To which you say, ‘Sheriff Joe and Mike Zullo are investigating him’.

To which the Obot responds (paraphrasing): ‘They don't count’.

It's partly stupidity—and I don't say that lightly—and partly an overdose of Obama Kool Aid. They honestly cannot see their own self-contradictions.

I think what is needed is the entire newspaper from the day of the announcements. That would destroy the credibility of the [IMHO fake] microfilm copies.

With just a fraction of the page, a clipping, the MSM and Foggers will say “where is the context”, and ironically claim forgery.

Even a folded page from the original paper would be vastly stronger than a small cutting.

On June 9th , the Sheriff was at Vegas giving a speech.

See the video at Bitherreport. Very good video. He's looking confident and calm.

He said in a few weeks he will give a press conference.

So it looks like he will deliver before July. So that could be any day now.

I saw a video of the first Kenyan lady last night. She's looking down. Poll numbers must be telling her to pack.

I think they interviewed people that he knew in his teen years and maybe they are on video talking about his tales of his birth in Kenya.

Sounds like the dam is about to burst.

You got that right.

We saw a very slight MSM turn about a year ago when Chrissie blurted out "We know 0b0z0 IS born in HI, why doesn't he show his BC and get it over with."

An O.T. today, 0b0z0 is speaking about his grand economic strategy in Ohio. He'll "BushFault" the whole thing. It’s becoming a new verb in the communist language!

I'm sure y'all heard what the RATS are saying and complaining about and I'm paraphrasing, "when is 0kaka going to take responsibility for the economy and that he has to come up with a plan NOT BLAME!"

They are masking their worries by "worrying" about the Indie vote. Not true, it's their RAT vote that they're worried about most. Moreover, what they don't say is that they're extremely worried about what the Chicago thugs are going to do to the country in order to reelect 0bastard without an election.

Here's the money quote from Luria. I had seen this before, but didn't really think about what this meant until it was posted again recently by Mr.Rogers.
Under our Constitution, a naturalized citizen stands on an equal footing with the native citizen in all respects save that of eligibility to the Presidency. Minor v. Happersett, 21 Wall. 162, 88 U. S. 165; Elk v. Wilkins, 112 U. S. 94, 112 U. S. 101; Osborn v. Bank of United States, 9 Wheat. 738, 22 U. S. 827.

link to source

Foggers cite this because it uses the term "native citizen" instead of "natural-born citizen" ... but Wong Kim Ark and its definition of "native-born citizen" is conspicuously absent in this citation, despite the fact that it predates this decision. Luria first cites Minor that said:

At common-law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners.

In this definition (which is basically from the Law of Nations), natives = natural-born citizens = BOTH are defined by birth in the country to citizen parents. Wong Kim Ark defined natives as birth in the country to resident aliens. The Luria court is ONLY accepting the Minor citation, not Wong Kim Ark. Second, it ties this directly to presidential eligibility. This means that all the current courts that try to cite Wong Kim Ark are in error. The Supreme Court unanimously cites Minor as THE legal precedent on presidential eligibility.

Luria also cites Elk v. Wilkins which, while noting the Constitutional differences between birth and naturalization, also says:

The evident meaning of these last words is not merely subject in some respect or degree to the jurisdiction of the United States, but completely subject to their political jurisdiction and owing them direct and immediate allegiance.

Indians born within the territorial limits of the United States ... are no more "born in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof," within the meaning of the first section of the Fourteenth Amendment, than the children of subjects of any foreign government born within the domain of that government

These quotes simply destroy the idea that a person who is simply born on U.S. soil would automatically be eligible for the presidency. Such persons have to at least be COMPLETELY subject to the United States. Any kind of divided allegiance thus negates that the person in question is a natural-born citizen.

Again, the omission of Wong Kim Ark as a citation on presidential eligibility is conspicuous in its absence. THE legal precedent is first and foremost the Minor decision: all children born in the country to PARENTS who were its citizens. 27 Supreme Court justices have agreed on this definition. There is no higher legal authority in this country.

Georgia Supremes will be looking at testimony from law enforcement that states all of his identification documents are fraudulent. This is just incredible.


Hopefully it would force the court to subpoena the Selective Service and Social Security Administration to provide the original applications for those documents.

I honestly think the Georgia supremes will just dismiss the case on July 1st.

Why? Because it is a case that rose up from the Malihi court.

IMHO the Georgia Judiciary is simply ignoring the constitution and Georgia state law because *politicians* control them.

I think the GOPe price was NRC authority from the federal Government to build a nuclear power plant.

On June 9th , the Sheriff was at Vegas giving a speech. See the video at Bitherreport. Very good video. He's looking confident and calm. He said in a few weeks he will give a press conference. So it looks like he will deliver before July. So that could be any day now.

Thank you! I found the video. Here's the link if anyone else wants to watch--

I saw a video of the first Kenyan lady last night. She's looking down. Poll numbers must be telling her to pack.

Good!

Thanks very much for the info. So, Luria, which touches on the subject of eligibility, cites MvH but not WKA. That's quite telling.

"Any kind of divided allegiance thus negates that the person in question is a natural-born citizen."

In any honest, logic-based approach to the question of why the founders inserted the NBC verbiage in A2S1C5, the issue of potential for divided loyalties comes out on top as the most straightforward, simplest explanation.

That's why in Minor, Justice Waite said ". . .with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar. . ." to dispose of Minor's attempt to use the 14th Amendment to buttress her argument, and instead defined her citizenship as a type preceding the 14th.
