Today, the United States Supreme Court scheduled the case - Leo C. Donofrio v. Nina Mitchell Wells, Secretary of State of the State of New Jersey - US Supreme Court Docket No. 08A407 - for a conference of the nine Justices. The conference is a completely private affair and the public may not attend. If four of the nine Justices vote to hear the case in full, oral argument may be scheduled. The conference is scheduled for December 5, 2008, ten days before the meeting of the Electoral College.

If there is birth certificate evidence that Sen Obama was not a native-born American, we can assume he knew that and was the reason for the reluctance to publicize it. Therefore, he would have perpetrated a fraud on the electorate. Therefore his electors have been chosen as part of a fraud. I would think that all those electors would be disqualified. I’ve have seen no posts challenging the electors involved in a fraudulent scheme. It doesn’t make sense that they should then have carte blanche to vote for whomever if their election was based on a fraud. Is there some precedent?
I have a certain amount of Faith in your Supreme Court. They made the right ruling on Guns earlier this year. They may yet make the right ruling on Barack Hussein Obama.
Let us hope and pray that it is so.
Uh, I believe they meet in a conference and discuss all cases submitted and decide which ones to take. I will almost bet my life they will not take this one.
Will they dare upset the One and his worshipers? Is the timing right? Are they going to take counsel to terrorists and child murderers? hmm...
Poor nation. The irrelevanticism is becoming commonplace lately.
>>>If Obie is ruled inellegible, it’ll be President Biden. Yeah, that’ll be better.
That would be up to the electoral college if this is ruled on before dec 15.
I’m not sure that SCOTUS can control (remove) a candidate from the ticket... they can only rule him ineligible, basically warning electors that if they vote for that ticket, the election itself will in the long run be nullified. We would have to start all over again.
This would leave the McCain-Palin ticket pretty much un-opposed in the EC... JUST LIKE Obama ran unopposed in most of his career elections. Poetic justice!
The EC is something that normally doesnt get very much attention. This time it will be different if SCOTUS actually defends the constitution.
It depends not only on how they rule, but when.
If the final ruling comes before the Electoral College votes, there are several possibilities. IMO, the most likely outcome of that would be President-elect Biden, though McCain is a possibility.
If they rule after the EC votes, but before 1/20/09, then we would have Acting President Biden on Jan 20. There doesn’t appear to be any enabling legislation giving authority to qualify a President if that were to happen, so we’d probably have Acting President Biden for four years. There also doesn’t appear to be any way for an Acting President to choose a VP.
But, and this is a huge but, if the USSC rules AFTER 1/10/09 that Obama is not qualified, then I have no idea what happens. THAT would be a true Constitutional crisis.
Most of this comes from Amendment XX, BTW.
All cases are handled in this way.
A case is submitted to one of the justices and if they think the case bears review they will bring it to conference.
Then after discussion the entire panel votes to hear arguments or not.
What I believe is a little unusual is that a case be brought up this late in the (can’t think of the proper word) term. Which indicates that Justice Thomas recognizes that this case requires timely consideration.
To quote myself —
Here’s how it will go:
Chief Justice: “Okay, folks. How many want to be known, forever, for affecting the results of yet another election, this one against a very sizable and clear majority of voters?”
“Nay.”
“Nay.”
“Nay.”
“Nay.”
“Nay.”
“Nay.”
“Nay.”
“Nay.”
“And nay. All right. Next item....”
Russia wants Obama in power. They won’t expose him for the fraud he is.
>>>Therefore his electors have been chosen as part of a fraud. I would think that all those electors would be disqualified.
I see the EC like a very temporary elected congress... they are representatives of the people for the distinct purposes of choosing a president. They were duly elected unless you can prove direct voter fraud.
This does bring up something else kind of interesting though... some states by law REQUIRE the electors to vote based on who won their state. This of course pretty much defeats the purpose of having the EC, and we may find out this year why thats not a good thing. Unless there are special circumstances written in for electors of these states, they could be in a real pickel.
God help us! The justices need to concern themselves more with the rule of LAW (you know..that quaint, outdated old thing) than what people will “think” about a ruling.
I really miss the days we used to do things that way.
If it proves they elected a fraud, it would indict everyone that supported him and the fact that they gave him such a free-pass (mainly because he doesn't look like the presidents on the currency, in his own words).
Will the chief justice give the oath to someone he KNOWS is illegal in spite of what all 9 say? Mickey mouse, say.
“Will the chief justice give the oath to someone he KNOWS is illegal in spite of what all 9 say”?
Interesting question. Profound moral dilemma some might say.
Its a little too early in the morning to depress us.
;-)
“Here’s how it will go:”
WOW, do you use tea leaves or is a ball involved.
So not only the possibility of ejection from the inaugural ball...but jail time to boot??
And does anyone know if Kenya even issued certificates of live birth in the 60’s? (just curious) It seems most people think the Hawaii paperwork is fishy.. but that may be the ONLY paperwork there is. no?
