I’m not sure what Donofrio intends, but it does no harm to ask that ALL the candidates should produce their proofs of natural born citizenship. If McCain qualifies, then fine, no harm done.
As I understand it, McCain was not born in the Canal Zone, but over the border in a hospital in Panama proper. In the circumstances that may not disqualify him, but there’s no harm in asking the Court to vet all the candidates and declare which of them are disqualified.
Exactly! Does anyone wonder why McCain did not bring up Obama’s qualifications during the campaign? Maybe it was because he knew he also did not meet the standards of being a “natural born” citizen. Who knows. But the Constitution must be upheld!
Both of McCain’s parents were American citizens. Bambi’s dad was Kenyan and his mother was loose.
I wonder is Mel Martinez quitting is remotely connected to this.
“I wonder is Mel Martinez quitting is remotely connected to this.”
First I heard. Please explain. When did he announce he was quitting??? Thanks!
You are absolutely right.
I shouldn’t have phrased it that way.
It is, indeed, refreshing to see a n00b with manners.
As for catching up, I hope to be able to grasp the most important facts.
This is the most wonderful time of the year, but it leaves little time for FR!
Thank you for that info and the ping!
I learned something new today.
I’m glad to see there are such provisions.
WELCOME to Free Republic, BonRad!
It’s very refreshing to see new folks who are polite - others have told you that already, but praise needs second helpings.
DEAR LORD, GOD,
PLEASE LET THERE BE; LORD CAUSE THERE TO BE
A MASSIVE TURNOUT OF ALL PATRIOTS AND AUTHENTIC CHRISTIANS DEMONSTRATING VIGOROUSLY BEFORE THE SUPREME COURT AGAINST OTHUGA AND HIS ILLEGAL RUNNING FOR THE OFFICE, IN JESUS’ NAME.
Updating ‘looking…like Thusday Dec 4’: Now being called “Rally” or “Vigil” and being set for Friday Dec 5 –
(trying to ping all obvious FR ID’s on the thread)
I am listening here Tues Dec 2 to plainsradio (Joe Thunder show) I believe live / real time (thanks again ping from STARWISE) here nearing 10:30 PM EST and typing thru broadcast. Approaching 11:00 PM here EST Donofrio leaves conversation as Hale announces news break. Show ends.
Thunder says he will have something on the plainsradio .com site before night out and will doubtless have link to
as he basically states assembly will be under auspices of Freedom March.
Earlier, “Dr. Orly” (Taitz-lawyer on the CA Keyes case) and Donofrio on w/ Joe Thunder. THURDAY OBVIOUSLY NOT COMING OFF AS A DATE FOR ASSEMBLY as original impetus was Cort Wrotnowski’s filing to Scalia passing to the delaying anthrax test. CW drove from Connecticut very early this AM to hand deliver, as many of you know and has been posted as thread here on Free Republic.com Donofrio has on wordpress site the 2:44PM update: “Cort’s docket has been updated at SCOTUS.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2141578/posts
The application has been “refiled and submitted to Justice Scalia”. Apparently CW’s action can be included in LD’s supplemental filing to include same. Though I missed outset of broadcast, I take it the chicanery of the clerks has not panned out. As I recall even there he experienced severe docketing problems at hands of insipid or worse SCOTUS clerk(s). I take it LD’s ref so previously filed with the Donofrio supplementary materials, which as many know can only contain materials referencing outside cases / motions (or laws / bylaws) filed after initial stay motion, remains validly tied to CW’s motion, allowing potential wrapping by SCOTUS into one case, or at least providing further impetus to the LD case alone.
Donofrio says he’s heard people are coming in Friday AM. SCOTUS opens at 8:30 AM. Donofrio urges no signs. Public recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance and quiet. Thunder then says to Donofrio he means “a vigil”, to which Donofrio agrees.
Dr. Orly comes in to say signs are desireable given so many are ignorant of the matters and with potential of major media showing up, it would be best to have signs. Donofrio disagrees and continues with this plea for respect for the court. Just your reporter here….
I see a poster or two have stated that there are daily protests that are invariably ignored unless they be unusually large, Others have said faxing is inappropriate (for protocol reasons), as I think Donofrio initially was saying, but for reason of simply not lobbying the SCOTUS. I think (the broadcast has not been archived yet) LD has relented and agreed enthusiastically that this could be done. Dr. Orly was also urging faxing on her cases behalf to CA court- fax number is given FOR CA CASE 310-203-0567. I didn’t take heading/title/address but you can find easily enough, I presume.
I still don’t see anything at the Freedom March site 12:30AM EST Dec 3
BTW there are re-packages of Thunder’s plainaradio shows at:

I’d like to steer to a great post

Thanks so much for the play by play and the info. I was not able to listen last night, so your info is appreciated.
Hi Freepers,
I am just trying to spread the word about a fellow Freeper’s web site and the Freedom March Organization. Joe Thunder started the organization and the link is below. Perhaps you have heard the Joe Thunder program on Plains Radio Network. Please visit and read about the mission of the Freedom March Organization. Perhaps you might want to join and help in any way you can. I am helping by spreading the word about events that will take place. Right now we are focusing on showing support for Leo Donofrio, Cort Wrotnowski, and Alan Keyes in their efforts to bring the truth to light and save our Constitution.
Joe Thunder has organized a Freedom March for this coming Friday in Washington D.C. to bring attention to the important decision to by made by our honorable Supreme Court Justices. Please read about the details at the Freedom March link below. Perhaps you know folks who live in the D.C. area who would want to join other Freepers and Patriots to show support for Leo Donofrio and Cort Wrotnowski in hopes there cases will be heard.
Please spread the word to Freepers you know and anyone on your email list who you know would want to help.
Please post the link on your Free Republic state board to help spread the word. Thanks so much! seekthetruth

Will do. Wish I could be there, but my prayers will be with those that are. Will spread the word to a few friends in the DC area today. Thanks.
Yes, I’m not saying McCain wasn’t qualified to run. I think he probably was. He confronted the issue and congress agreed to support him—possibly, as we realized later, because they really wanted to shore up Obama, as the wording of their resolution unfortunately suggests.
Obama has a LOT more to answer than McCain. But there’s no harm in bringing both candidates before SCOTUS so they can examine the issues, and it gives an appearance of nonpartisanship—it doesn’t matter what party you belong to, you have to be qualified.
Ping to #52 and thanks for spreading the word!

Blew the ref to the great post (#27) by MkB so here’s the post I’m sure many of you has already seen:

Regarding conservative media silence:
I believe staying off the topic, and utterly silent, until the EC votes on 15 Dec. is simply the smart strategy:
1. The blowback of a pre-EC disqualification would be uncertain, e.g. Electors re-directing their votes for Hillary or Biden (with unclear legality vs. DQ of the Electors themselves)
2. The MSM remains fixed into silence: no way to start the spin machine if the topic is not raised the first place (the counter-articles may already written and ready to be published when this finally breaks out into the open, as it surely will).
3. SCOTUS has no traction at the federal level until the Governors certify the EC results. The State-level appeals only play into the pre-EC DQ problem.
4. The real show will be the joint session of Congress on 6 Jan. and whether Cheney will open the EC letters or leave them sealed and cross the street for a SCOTUS ruling: he only needs two objections, one House and one Senate member.
5. The Constitution has a clear path for handling a DQ between 15 Dec. and 20 Jan., the process is much less clear if the DQ occurs before 15 Dec. (e.g. a stay on the entire election, imagine the damage to all parties, the stock market and the country).
Summary: My own belief is the smart money, including conservative media, are waiting for 15 Dec. to pass before starting a full court press. I also believe that SCOTUS will find the means to make the DNC be the primary actor, for instance by forcing a reasonable disclosure after 15 Dec. (not before the EC) but before 20 Jan., essentially making Pelosi, Reid and the DNC the fall guys in the media. The MSM will have a hard time over the holidays with any spin control leading up to the 6 Jan. vote for President-Elect. Checkmate.

Thanks, but what is a DQ, besides Dairy Queen?
