Someone was incredibly busy in June 2008 working on an illegal front invisible to the public; searching and altering Supreme Court Cases published at Justia.com which cite the only case in American history - Minor v. Happersett (1875) - to directly construe Article 2 Section 1's natural-born citizen clause in determining a citizenship issue as part of its holding and precedent. In this unanimous decision, the Supreme Court defined a "native or natural-born citizen" as a person born in the US to parents who were citizens; a definition which excludes from eligibility both Barack Obama and John McCain.
In June 2008 no one was discussing Minor v. Happersett 88 US 162 (1875) with regard to Obama. In fact, those who were discussing the then Senator’s citizenship status had focused instead on his birth in Hawaii in a attempt to prove the future president was not born in the United States despite publication of the Senator’s short form computer generated Birth Certificate. It would not be until October of 2008 that Barack Hussein Obama’s eligibility would be questioned as to his status as a dual citizen at the time of his birth.

Can you help me here Dianna? That cadre had to be very, very tight and exclusive. And they had to be willing to destroy law and the Constitution. They must have taken warm showers together to convince each other that this must be done to get him elected..... and plausible deniability.....It keeps coming up Axlerod.

Tim Stanley
When talking to Timothy J. Stanley, one gets the impression from the FindLaw founder that making no money from legal information websites could be the best approach. Stanley, a former computer programmer, started putting legal documents online in the early 1990s, when many associated the Internet with sex, scams or both.
Working with his wife, Stacy Stern, and technologist Martin Roscheisen, he assembled an interface that tied free legal sites together. For the most part, what was available then came from law schools and various legal conferences that listed program materials online. They called it FindLaw.
The trio sold FindLaw to West Group in 2001. The sale price was $37 million, according to the National Law Journal, with Stanley staying on at an annual base salary of $200,000. Later the relationship soured, and according to a lawsuit filed against Stanley in U.S. District Court in Minnesota over a noncompete agreement, he was fired by the legal publishing group in April 2003. The case, West Publishing Corp. v. Stanley, eventually settled.
“It was a disaster working for West,” Stanley says. “I’ll just leave it there.”
Also in April 2003 he started Justia.com, which operates much like what he had in mind for FindLaw, but better, according to fellow public domain advocates. (Justia powers the blawg search function on ABAJournal.com.)
Justia.com, based in Mountain View, Calif., makes money designing webpages for law firms. Those profits cover the site’s free information, which includes an expert-witness directory, overviews of federal law organized by practice area and various case documents.
“Probably the reason we can do it is because none of us can ever make money off of it,” Stanley says. “If you look at it from a business standpoint, we get karma credit.”
When his employees tell their families about work, Stanley adds, they brag about the public domain projects rather than building law firm websites.
“It’s a business—we’re certainly not communists or anything like that—but we more or less try to do whatever free-information projects we want,” he says, “stuff that other people aren’t quite doing yet.”
Hear Tim Stanley talk about the role Justia will play with free online case summaries and documents, and how lawyers will help.
Future Justia projects include building a bigger library of case summaries with an annotation system. That information comes from states, law schools and various legal blogs. The site now offers profiles of lawyers, and Stanley envisions linking some lawyer-authored case summaries to the authors’ profiles for marketing purposes.
“We’re really going to start pushing out higher-value annotations and share them with everybody,” says Stanley, 45. “Well, maybe not with Lexis or Westlaw, but all the free people.”
“It will be good for nonlawyers, too, who’ve never used Lexis or Westlaw, to have access to cases for free,” he says. “There’s a lot more interest out there than people give credit for.”
Stanley’s also thinking about adding judicial profiles in which lawyers could comment in a way he calls “truly anonymous.” Lawyers who partake in sharing free information—by using tools like Twitter or by submitting case summaries—could beef up their profiles with badges showing their work and get higher spots in search engines.
Thomas R. Bruce, director of Cornell Law School’s Legal Information Institute (and another Legal Rebel) has known Stanley for years. According to Bruce, Stanley thinks the best business development plan is walking up to someone and asking how he can help.
“I think Tim genuinely believes that people need better access to the legal system, and he doesn’t limit that belief to people who have traditionally been perceived as underserved by the legal system because they are indigent and having some kind of traumatic problem,” Bruce says. “It’s much more: ‘Everybody needs this.’
“It’s a bit like health care—you’re as likely to be underserved and bankrupt by the whole process if you’re solidly middle class.”
While Stanley doesn’t see himself as a communist, some say he’s a hippie in a Silicon Valley way. He usually wears jeans and long-sleeved T-shirts, and his e-mail signature includes “World peace—good idea.”
Stanley wrote most of the original code for FindLaw. Friends say that as the Internet bubble inflated, it wasn’t unusual for him to sleep under his desk. Now Stanley’s usually in the office by 6 a.m., and he goes home around 8 p.m. He exercises before and after work. He also serves on the boards of various public domain groups like Public.Resource.org, American LegalNet Inc. and Nolo.
Stanley often exchanges pet pictures (he has two beloved pugs) with public domain comrades like Jerry Goldman of the Oyez Project. Goldman, a Northwestern University political science professor, started his multimedia website in the 1990s and initially didn’t have a single focus. Stanley advised that a U.S. Supreme Court bent would make the Oyez site the most useful.
Goldman took his advice, and today the site offers audio of Supreme Court proceedings dating back to 1955. In 2003 it won a major grant from the National Science Foundation.
“The fact we can provide audio to all these cases is a testament to the value of the vision I had, but it was incomplete,” Goldman says. “Tim helped me realize what I needed to see.”
Last updated Oct. 23 to quote the NLJ’s reported sale price of FindLaw to West; and to note that Stanley’s reported salary was a base level.
Very interesting findings. Will it have legs is yet to be seen.
That guy knows everything about all the birther cases because he represented Obama in them. His wife also worked at the White House.
I can't connect those dots. If I could connect Bauer and Stanley to the scrubbing at Justia DIRECTLY I would have a Pulitzer.
It ain't over -- you're just getting warmed up!
Put me on your ping list if you have one. I'll keep checking for your work on the Examiner.

People are already calling Donofrio an idiot - I guess they don’t like the truth he and Danae have figured out. It’s like saying you don’t trust any of your mail because the mailman is funny looking or has a bad habit or something.
Thanks, I read it at Leo’s site. People who call Leo an idiot haven’t read his research.
That might be it. When did she say that?
I am sure that there are things (moral at this point) that go through the minds of many of us that we are wise not to print.
It has only been interpreted as such since (incorrectly) the 1980s, and only as an administrative ruling, never as a court case or as legislation.
Anchor babies are not US citizens. It would be like me giving you a vehicle owned by some third party. Saying it is yours does not make it so. Saying it was mine to give does not make it so.
We are dealing with a determined and well-trained adversary. We must act accordingly.

”This class of citizen has no other possible citizenship.”
This.
Threadwinner, right there.
From Minor vs Happersett:
“Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of their parents. As to this class there have been doubts, but never as to the first.”
Even basic citizenship was being called into question here regarding those born “without reference to the citizenship of their parents”, let alone an opinion being made allowing for natural born citizenship status to those not born of US citizen parents, emphasis on the plural.
When determining the eligibility for the highest office in the land, you want the highest degree in confidence in the citizenship (and presumed attendant lack of divided loyalties) to country to be found in a citizen who is such because of their birth to people who are themselves citizens of the same nation.
Logically speaking, this isn’t hard, folks, and Minor vs Happersett addresses it pretty clearly, from where I’m sitting.
bttt
needs repeating:
This is huge and still in action. Please, everyone, email this to everybody and anyone you can think of to email it to. This cannot get buried. Freepers have the power to make something like this a big news story, as well it should be, if we work together. We must ping this idea of sending out emails to as many news origination and personalities as possible. Let’s Flood Them and keep it coming!!!!
OMG .. wow! Just found this:

Excerpt:
This is a NATIONWIDE Call-to-Action!
“We are Facing a Battle That Will Decide our Fate as a Nation
!” – Maj. Gen. Paul Vallely (Ret.)
The time to unite and fight for the American way of life has arrived…
We did not choose this fight, or this time. The fight has come to us in our time and we will not shrink from our responsibility to protect and defend the United States of America, our Constitutional Republic, and the American way of life. We
CALL upon ALL freedom loving Americans to JOIN US in this honorable endeavor. We do so on the following basis…
Abuses and Usurpations
Barack Obama’s once strong approval rating now stands at only 19%. The approval rating of congress is no better.
The people have lost all faith in their government… The demise of our Constitutional Republic has been underway for nearly a hundred years. As the people placidly accepted intolerable offenses against the republic, the states, and the Constitution for decades, the Central power in Washington D.C. grew ever more powerful, ever more abusive, and ever more disconnected from the very people it was formed to represent.
During the last three years, the current administration has committed the most egregious offenses against
the people, the states and the Constitution, since the founding of our country and today, they operate as a
virtual dictatorship, against the governed, beyond the scope and authority the people granted them in the
Constitution and at odds with the will of the vast majority of American citizens.
The actions of the Obama Administration in total, rise to the level of treason against the United States and
its people.
The Democratic Socialists of America are currently running Washington D.C. and they recently issued this statement in a Call-to-Action for their millions of members
“We are the alternative to the tea party conservatives, the Republicans whose only program is to say no, the Democrats who have forgotten what progressive politics really are and the progressives who think that they can stand apart from the left.
”This must not be permitted to stand…
Among other offenses, abuses and usurpations, is the following list of transgressions – (detailed in
Appendix A) – altering our constitutional form of government and system of justice without authority…
Violations against Article I of the U.S. Constitution – Congress
Violations against Article II of the U.S. Constitution – The office of President
Violations against Article III of the U.S. Constitution – Judicial Powers
Violations against Article IV of the U.S. Constitution – The State

For whatever it’s worth - African Press Int’l (AP or API)
~~~~~
Excerpt:
The African Press International got under Michelle Obama’s skin and she came out swinging – bribing, actually. She offered API an invite to the inauguration, in exchange for a “good” story about her husband:
African press International is supposed to support Africans and African-American view,” and she went to state that, “it is strange that API has chosen to support the racists against my husband. There is no shame in being adopted by a step father.
All dirt has been thrown onto my husband’s face and yet he loves this country. My husband and I know that there is no law that will stop him from becoming the president, just because some American white racists are bringing up the issue of my husband’s adoption by His step father.
The important thing here is where my husband’s heart is at the moment. I can tell the American people that My husband loves this country and his adoption never changed his love for this country. He was born in Hawaii, yes, and that gives him all the right to be an American citizen even though he was adopted by a foreigner; says Michelle Obama on telefon to API.
OMG.
Don’t EVEN go there! API was pushed here by me, I totally bought into that site. It was BUNK. Total BS’er is Sammy Scammy. That whole story was total Bull. Don’t buy it for a second. Good LORD I sound like mountain Sage.... oh someone put me out of my damn misery......
Seriously, take it from me, African Press International is not even up the the standards of The National Inquirer. Or pick your UFO tabloid, it isn’t even that credible. Tell Stop the ACLU, whoever they are, not to believe a darned thing that ever comes from African Press International. Just ask JeanS.
