What is Res 511?
Don’t tell me some lame decree that Obama is a natural born citizen ??? ...
You think that Souter is whacky enough to accept a forgery? Four other justices too?
At some point he does have to produce a BC, and that BC will prove him inelligible to take office; what then?
There is indirect reason to believe that this may be true. “2d Session S. RES. 511: Recognizing that John Sidney McCain, III, is a natural born citizen.: In the Senate of the United States.” was Sponsored by Senator McCaskill and co-sponsored by Senators Leahy, Obama, Coburn, Clinton and Webb. Why? Why were Democratic Senators trying to pass a Resolution making Senator McCain undoubtedly Legally Eligible when this issue had already been cleared up in 2000 and again in 2004? And why did Senators McCaskill and Obama reportedly insert the following Clause?
“Whereas previous presidential candidates were born outside of the United States of America and were understood to be eligible to be President;”
This Clause has no particular relevance to McCain and the following Clause, which it is reported McCaskill and Obama attempted to REMOVE shows that:
“; and Whereas John Sidney McCain, III, was born to American citizens on an American military base in the Panama Canal Zone in 1936:”
It seems clear that McCaskill and Obama were attempting to create a blanket Resolution covering ALL Foreign Born candidates. Why do that if not to benefit a Foreign Born Democratic Candidate, who did not have a US Military background?
No, I think Souter is incapable of discerning it to be a forgery. Can you follow all the technical nitpicking that Polarik and others have been going on about? Only experts can. And Obama will have fantastic experts bought & paid for.
IMO someone already has copies of the HI BC (Illegally of course)
***Those people have either already been bribed off or will be in tremendous danger.
Right. I’m just hoping this is all God’s nudging, because even NObama can have his luck run out.
See 543.
I absolutely agree. This never should have been allowed to go this far but it did and now we have to face the music.
We? This should have been handled long ago but we have cowards running this country, every dam one of them that knew are cowards. So much for upholding the Constitution. Blood is on their hands now.
The African BC will be easier for Obama to handwave away. Interesting, though, if the CIA had a copy because their charter would preclude them from taking action, AFAIK.
Danger. Ed Hale says their keeping their ID quiet.
Its not up to Souter ...
He is just the supervising SCOTUS justice for the district in which Berg filed.
He only denied the application to stay the election.
Obama has to respond as to why Berg’s petition should be denied, Berg has an opportunity to respond.
Then, all SCOTUS justices will review the petition and the responses. If 4 agree with Berg, Cert will be granted.
They NORMALLY would send the case back to the lower federal court, but due to the immense Constitutional questions and the time constraint, I think they will assert original jurisdiction (Supreme Court Review) under Supreme Court Rule 11.
They would then, presumably, ask for the birth certificate and forensic analysis.
Based upon those findings, they would render a decision.
That resolution is a bunch of hooey ...
When I was researching, I came across a law from like 1905 that stated anyone born to two U.S. citizens overseas in any U.S. territory, protectorate, or military installation was indeed a U.S. citizen at birth (natural born).
There was NEVER any need for Res. 511 ...
I would have to root around to find it - prolly couldn’t do it tonite.
FYI: My cousin was born at Kadena AFB (Okinawa) in 1976. He is a natural born U.S. citizen.
Amen to that Mayor.
Resolutions stack up in the rest rooms in Congress - just in case they run out of TP !!!
Ya think the Rats smell?
I think that you’ve misjudged the penetration, and the extent to which Souter must have consulted his peers.
This is no ordinary case. That Obama cannot produce the necessary documents is about 99% certain. Legal scolars have been kicking this around since March, and most are at the same conclusion, regardless of which side they are on.
The only real question seems to be who will come out on top after the writ is handed down; it won’t likely be Biden.
