The United States Supreme Court, guarantor of our Constitution, gave Barack Obama until December 1st to respond to allegations that he has not provided certification of his eligibility to run for President by being a natural born citizen. That date came and went with no response from Obama. Not, mind you, merely a lack of sufficient evidence but no response at all. Source.
As a consequence, the court has no choice but to issue a bench warrant for his arrest, charging him with contempt of court. Further, because he refused to provide the Constitutional proofs, the Court can- and must- rule him ineligable and declare all General Election and Primary votes for him to be invalid.
Vote counting at the Democratic Convention was suspended, and Obama was nominated for President by acclimation, according to a motion by New York Senator Hillary Clinton. As such, the court must rule that, since Obama was ineligible, the Democratic party failed to nominate a valid candidate for the Office of President of the United States.
Since no valid objection can be raised against the Vice-Presidential cantidacy of Senator Joe Biden of Deleware, votes for him should be declared valid.
Therefore, electors pledged to Joseph Biden for Vice-President, in 29 states totaling 365 Electoral votes were elected and shall be sent to Washington on December 15th-presumably- to elect him Vice-President of the United States.
In the same manner, the Court should certify that-as the highest vote garnered among all eligible candidates- electors pledged to Senator John McCain of Arizona, for the Presidency of the United States, were elected in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
As such, all 538 electors are to be sent to Washington DC where, on December 15th, they will presumably make John McCain our first unanimously elected President, by a vote of 538-0 over all legal opponents.
Although I did not support Senator McCain, we at A Newt One feel it our duty to invite all Americans- including democrats- to unite with us behind presumed President-elect McCain.

Like the democrats supported President Bush? You all can KMLWA (kiss my lilly white behind).
Who was the first president?
There is a considerable body of evidence that is is, in fact, pink.
And rather unfortunately hairy.
Which breaks America's heart.
“2) born before 1789” should be “1) born before 1789”
And they must also have resided in the U.S. for fourteen years.
Never
Who was next?
First, the matter before the Supreme Court is a petition for a writ of certiori. Parties named are invited but not compelled to respond by today. If they choose not to, they are not held in contempt. No bench warrant. The Court will consider whether to grant the petition. Even if the Court grants the petition, it is not going to receive any evidence (like a birth certificate) that has not already been admitted into evidence at the trial court level.. The Court, if it grants the petition, will only hear arguments on the law of whether the petitioner has standing to bring the case.
The electors do not come to Washingtion to cast their ballots. Electors meet in their respective state capitals.
Electors are free to cast their votes in any manner they so choose, provided that one of the names (president or vice-president) is not from the same state as the elector.
In the event the Democrat-controlled Congress is unable to qualify Obama, the person chosen as vice-president (Biden) will serve as acting-president beginning January 20th. There will be no new election until 2012. The Supreme Court has no jurisdiction in this matter.
I am amazed at how some Freepers are eager to throw out the Constitution and grant to the nine-member Supreme Court (all of whom are appointed for life) the power to determine the outcome of an election.
I have just sent this email to a personal friend who is a state representative here:
Dear *****,
This whole Obama VALID birth certificate flap has many folks here worried that the vetting of NATIONAL CANDIDATES by the political parties is NOT sufficiently rigid — or even exists at all.
Since Obama has REFUSED to present a valid, vault copy of said document, can you tell me if Georgia has a statutory requirement for such vetting by the state? Prohibiting Georgia’s electors from voting for a candidate failing to provide all necessary certified/legal documentation/information would be the goal. If enough states did so, it would keep future unqualified candidates from taking office and creating a dangerous Constitutional crisis.
If Georgia does not have such a statute, would you be willing to offer such legislation in the upcoming session?
I’d be happy to do the research into what OTHER states have done or are doing and/or help draft said legislation.
Thanks and have a MERRY CHRISTMAS and great ‘09.
Dick
he should be given the same respect given president bush for the last eight years.
This has to rank as one of the most ridiculous things ever allowed on FR.
Yep.
As I and others have noted on other threads related to this subject, it WILL casue a Constitutional Crisis.
But then the whole Obamessiah “place of birth” thing is ALREADY a Constitutional Crisis in MY opinion.
Why doesn’t he just fork over the birth certificate?
>>Look, sparky, I’m very antiObama, but if we played this kinda game, I would expect the left to literally revolt.<<
Please, please! Make my day!
I do not believe that the Supreme Court is going to do anything in this matter.
Since there is a certificate of live birth and a notice published in the Honolulu newspaper within a week of his birth, it seems unlikely that Ann Dunnam, his mother, would fly that young an infant from Kenya to Hawaii, a trip that would have taken many hours. I suspect that the birth certificate may reveal that Barack Obama, Sr., was not his father. What if Obama's true birth father was Frank Marshall Davis, a black civil rights activist in Hawaii who was a friend of Obama's grandfather and who was known to be promiscuous? An issue of illegitimacy, rather than the possibility that Obama's mother would fly a newborn baby halfway around the world on a student's budget, may be the reason for the reluctance to release the birth certificate. While such things as legitimate birth matter less to the general public than would have been the case 30 or 60 years ago, evidence that Obama has been dishonest about his past would be hard for his followers to accept.
That is NOT the case under the Constitution. The 20th Amendment says nothing of the sort. It says he will ACT as president until a president is qualified. Biden was NOT on the presidential ballot, he was on the VP ballot. If Obama is didqualified, Biden has NO claim to the presidency. If Obama DIES, then Biden will be president.
In a worst case scenario, I thought it would be Pelosi and Biden.
The wolves are salivating at the door.
The illegitimate child angle is interesting, but I’m not buying it. As you said, society has fallen to the point where this would only have minimal impact. As far as starting his administration out with a lie, we’ve been listening to him lie right to the face of his supporters throughout the campaign. Their eyes gloss over, and that mesmerized smile crosses their lips, and they buy it. They are called Obamabots for a reason. I don’t think Obama is protecting his relationship with them. Something is rotten on that certificate, but I don’t think his parentage is it — my two cents anyway.
