As of this writing, major news networks such as ABC, Fox News, CBS, and NBC have yet to report on the high court’s decision to review Barack Hussein Obama’s eligibility to hold political office in the United States or any of its territories. The case is identified as Edward Noonan, et al., v. Deborah Bowen, California Secretary of State.
On Feb. 15, all nine justices will gather in conference to review whether Obama used forged government documents and fake identification in order to get elected as commander-in-chief. Edward Noonan, et al., contend that if Obama had been ineligible to run in 2008, other Democratic candidates should have replaced him on the presidential ballot. Additionally, electoral votes from states such as California that went towards Obama should have been deemed null and void.
The Supreme Court‘s website shows that docket file no. 12A606 was originally denied by Justice Anthony Kennedy, a Reagan appointee, on Dec. 13. On Jan. 9, Chief Justice Roberts sent Dr. Taitz’s application to the full court for a review scheduled for Feb. 15.
Despite the lack of exposure from the mainstream media, the issue appears to have gained some steam among conservative bloggers. On Jan. 9, New York Times best-selling author Jerome Corsi suggested that the president’s nominee to head the Central Intelligence Agency, John Brennan, may have played a role in removing birther evidence from Barack Obama‘s passport records.
It appears that in 2008, a State Department insider was simultaneously employed by Analysis Corporation of McLean, Va. (then headed by Mr. Brennan) and was reprimanded for accessing (and possibly altering) Obama’s passport records.

“That does not make sense to me. If he is ineligible, wouldn’t that mean he was not eligible, therefore, impeachment would not be in the cards. It seems to me that a Federal Marshall would come and drag his smarmy ass out of the White House?”
Constitutionally the only way a president can be removed from office is impeachment. The house might impeach him (but I doubt if the wimpy repubs there would have the guts to do it). Even if they did impeach, the senate would then need to convict with a two thirds majority. NO WAY are there enough dems in the senate with integrity for that to happen.
And all of the above is predicated on the SCOTUS declaring him ineligible and there isn’t a snowballs chance in hell that is going to happen. This entire thing is a pipe-dream. But after the election all I have left is dreams and the memories of the greatest nation in the history of civilization.
Not so sure that is how it would go. Obama was elected President. If his election was void, the eligible person who had the most votes in every state was Romney. No one voted for Biden for President. If Obama’s election is void, Biden was never VP.
“What is going to happen is that the justices will read some one page memo about the case written by one of the justices’ clerks, who is likely the only person to read the briefs. That clerk will recommend that the court deny cert, and the will move onto the next case.”
Bingo. Countless other cases like this one have made it to conference. It takes 4 justices to vote to take up a case and so far no dice. I see this one getting kicked to the curb just like the others.
The President of the United States and Commander in Chief, AKA: Barack Hussein Obama, may be ineligible to hold office. There exists a well documented and tenable charge of fraud. To date; there is compelling and reasonable doubt regarding the legal and constitutional authority of this person. This matter deserves the solemn attention by those Justices, who should act, if only for the self-preservation of their appointed positions.
You are mistaken. Boehner is third in line for the presidency but he doesn’t become vice president if Obama has to resign. Biden would choose who he wants as vice president.
I agree, but.. We need to send a message that non-Americans will NEVER AGAIN be allowed to have their finger on the trigger of a Trident submarine without at least a CURSORY background check.
If he is ineligible now then he was when he ran for office.
If he is ineligible then he cannot be president and therefore is subject to arrest for fraud and another crimes by any county Sheriff or possibly the capitol hill police.
I think it is the 20th and the 25th amendments that govern the succession and requirements for president. It is pretty clear and scary (the succession list) because we may have to go back to 2008 to determine who ‘should’ be in, in that case. I am just guessing here.
If he is ineligible it seems right to me all laws signed by him, all exec orders, all treaties agreed to and whatever action he has taken or authorized would be null and void.
There would be turmoil ... no doubt the reason Biden is more prominent right now than before and DHS is loading up on ammo and ‘PDW’ not to mention the steps to disarm the populace.
Interesting times.
Not true, case law is well established in this area. All laws signed would unfortunately still be intact. Also, he could not be arrested or peosecuted except by the house and senate, the constitution is very clear in this area.
Interesting times indeed.
I already explained it. Except the part where many people will ask the question that you are asking. And that is exactly what they want you to think. We are talking about master manipulators here. Just ignoring it causes more doubt. But a finding of “nothing here” serves to pacify those who can’t see beyond the ruse.
With respect, a law signed by someone not qualified by the definition in the constitution to be president, is a fraud.
It would be like the young man who pretended to be a DR., an airline pilot and other professions but was not qualified for any of them. He committed fraud.
Elections are irrelevant if the candidate running is not eligible. This is spelled out in the constitution. The party running the ineligible person must field an eligible one is just a few days.
Because so much time has passed (4+ years) the untangling of the mess would be amazing but the fact of the fraud could not be questioned.
Further, every person in our government who swore an oath to protect and defend the constitution is guilty of malfeasance at best and treason by some measures. This would include all of the secretaries of state for all 50 states and many, many others whose sworn duty was to verify eligibility.
I do not believe case law covers the scenario I have laid out because it has never happened before, although it is plainly happening now.
Its an interesting situation. Of course the SCOTUS couldn't remove him from office, but If they ever determined him to be ineligible (presumably) because he's not a "natural born Citizen" as the Constitution mandates...if he's ineligibile, that means he's a usurper. If he's a usurper, he's not a legitimate President. Do articles of impeachment (& any subsequent trial/conviction) apply to a usurper?
In any event, what's going to happen on Feb 15th, is that there will not be 4 justices willing to hear the case. The application for a stay will be denied, not to metioned since the inauguration has already taken place making the prayer for relief moot.
Your opinion that Obama isn't as bad as Biden, is your opinion on their politics/policies. That's clearly debately.
However, at the very minimum, there is zero question as to whether Biden is Constitutionally qualified.
It begins with the Constitution.
Questions and debates of policy/politics follow that.
Too bad this has Taitz’s name on it. She has all the bravado and tenacity it takes, but is woefully under-powered for organizational and litigation skills.
“In any event, what’s going to happen on Feb 15th, is that there will not be 4 justices willing to hear the case. The application for a stay will be denied, not to metioned since the inauguration has already taken place making the prayer for relief moot.”
BINGO!! This isn’t going anywhere.
Have there been any reports on how this thing turned out? Thanks!
