SACRAMENTO, Calif.- A former opponent of Barack Obama's has come back to haunt him over questions regarding Obama's citizenship.

Former presidential candidate Alan Keyes and other members of his American Independent Party have filed suit in California Superior Court in Sacramento to stop the state from giving its electoral votes to President-elect Barack Obama until documentary evidence is provided to prove Obama is indeed a citizen of the United States.

Some conservatives have questioned Obama's citizenship in recent months. Obama says he was born in Hawaii in 1961.

Keyes also ran against Obama as a Republican for the U.S. Senate seat in Illinois in 2004. Obama won that election to serve his first and only term in the U.S. Senate.

As the person taking issue with his qualifications, if this were a court of law then I believe that as plaintiff the burden of proof would lie with you.

What should have happened, IMHO, would have been for a secretary of state in some state to announce that any candidate who failed to supply proof of eligibility would not be put on the ballot. Even if Barack felt this requirement was aimed unfairly at him, it would be hard to argue that the requirement was unreasonable, nor that a secretary of state should allow someone on the ballot who was, in fact, not eligible. The burden of proof would be on Barack to show eligibility.

As it is, things get much murkier. If Barack takes office and signs a piece of legislation, while widespread doubts about his eligibility remained, anyone prosecuted under such legislation should have standing to raise the issue. Were courts to find otherwise, Civil War II would likely follow.

I saw a person mention that here, but I don’t know what power Pelosi might have. That could pave the way for Arnold Schwarzennegger. What a great ticket that could make- Arnold and Sarah Palin.

When asked about his birth President elect Barrack Obama said, “Go ask grandma Dunham about my birth.”

Hey, thanks for the ping. Good news. I do wish to see the whole thing come out, even if I’m not on board. Truth prevails and all . ..

I think Lieberman has dual citizenship with Israel, too. Not sure.

I have no use for that.

Seen this? A related thread to the Obama BC/ NBC story....

[Alia]

I really don't get this. I mean, this nation is really wide-open on the subject of "birth"; in fact it is all over the map "in re birth". Pro-Obama MSM worked triple-time to get R-Opponent Jack Ryan's Sealed DIVORCE papers open in 2004. That indeed was a huge low; divorces are ugly and messy.

But to find out, to unseal Obama's records? This is not about a "low"; this is like, um, mandatory for the job?

It’s about orwellian control. See posts 58 and 60.

The Left--and therefore Hussein--controls the Ministry of Propaganda and the Ministry of Justice.

He ain't got to show anybody no stinking badges.

See this one yet?

[EternalVigilance]

Yeah. This story, which was the only mention I’ve seen by a “mainstream” network affiliate, has now been scrubbed from their site. Down the ol’ memory hole, ala George Orwell.

I think Lieberman has dual citizenship with Israel, too. Not sure.

That's what Louis Farrakhan has said, but I do not believe that it is true that any member of congress has dual citizenship, particularly one as prominent as Lieberman.
