This seems every bit as valid as API.
Think their “under pinnings” are made of brass or uncooked dough? With the exception of maybe 3, I think the rest will give nobema a pass and become president.
Id wait to see what API says about this
U.S. Supreme Court Justice David Souter has rejected an emergency appeal for the court to halt the tabulation of the 2008 presidential election results until Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama documents his eligibility to run for the office, according to an attorney who brought the action that challenges the Illinois senator's standing in the race.
However, the issue isn't going away, at least for now, since Souter set a schedule for a response from Obama to the challenge from attorney Philip J. Berg.
As WND reported, Berg brought his claims to the Supreme Court after a federal judge dismissed his lawsuit alleging Obama is ineligible to be president because he possibly was born in Kenya.
The judge concluded Berg lacks standing to bring the action.
The 34-page memorandum that accompanied the court order from Judge R. Barclay Surrick said ordinary citizens can't sue to ensure that a presidential candidate actually meets the constitutional requirements of the office.
Instead, Surrick said Congress could determine "that citizens, voters, or party members should police the Constitution's eligibility requirements for the Presidency," but that it would take new laws to grant individual citizens that ability.
"Until that time," Surrick says, "voters do not have standing to bring the sort of challenge that Plaintiff attempts to bring."
In a statement today, Berg said he was told by a clerk for Souter that his application for an injunction to stay the election was denied. But he also said the defendants "are required to respond to the Writ of Certiorari" by Dec. 1. Read article.
PLEASE GOD, MAKE IT SO!!!
Souter? My BS meter runneth over. My hope quotient rises.
Anyone have a SCOTUS link to verify this? Such a thing would be a most unusual move by a justice.
One thing I just noticed at AtlasShrugs is a misspelling in the headline. It says, “Nirth Certificate”. Simple typo, or ??
The article itself goes on to talk about the “birth” certificate.
Are you depending on the presstitutes of the screaming media to produce this???? They won’t.
Just making a note. Here is the SCOTUS docket for Berg’s case, 08a391
http://origin.www.supremecourtus.gov/docket/08a391.htm
& 08570
http://origin.www.supremecourtus.gov/docket/08-570.htm
Both denied by Souter.
See 31
Half true but can’t find the disclosure demand.
only source i can find is Berg’s website
and that does not post the Souter order...but references it
I am hoping it is true but it seems highly unusual to require a piece of evidence that is the crux of the case before you even decide whether to hear the case?
I don’t know how these things operate but it doesn’t make sense.
Holy cow.
The certiorari orders from the 6th and 7th don’t have anything on this.

Whoa!!!
Great, President Biden.
Stand up Joe!
SCOTUS better take this seriously, because OBAMA WILL NOT WAIT AROUND for conservative judges to retire of their own volition.
