Forgive my ignorance, but is this the Keyes lawsuit? I have trouble keeping them straight anymore.

Who is the plaintiff in this case and why did the Supreme Court of California deny it? I’m confused with all these lawsuits. Also, is there a case number so I can look it up in the SC of CA? Thanks.

If I've said it once I've said it a hundred times: no matter how valid the complaint, the US Supreme Court is NOT going to provoke a destabilizing constitutional crisis over Obama's citizenship status. They just aren't. Face it.

[DJ MacWoW]

This is Keyes.

When I see “wikipedia” as a reference, I stop reading at that point.

It is better to try and maybe fail. If a person never tries, they’ll never succeed.

Lightfoot v. Bowen, docket number S168690. This is a “Petition for Extraordinary Writ of Mandamus for Stay”.

[fatima]

I agree.

[Deepest End]

This is a new case that Dr. Taitz filed (I believe directly with the CA Supreme Court).

I don't know a lot about the particulars of this case. I heard Dr. Orly discussing it the other day on PRN.

My understanding is that it was designed for the purpose of being denied at the CA SC level in order to rapidly be taken to SCOTUS.

I'll try to let you know more about the case as I find out.

I have attached a wikipedia article about Honorable Judge Kennedy.

Ohhhh I think most Freepers know all about Justice Anthony Kennedy, aka 'Judge Flip-Flop' because you never know which way he'll rule on ANY damn case.

While I remain hopeful, I preemptively extend my condolences.

Now I am confused. If I read you correctly you are saying following the Constitution (letter of the law) is only preferable when it doesn't destabilize a dumbed down population? Please explain more.

In my opinion, by not enforcing our laws only makes them seem irrelevant. Sorta like immigration laws. I think what you mean is the SCOTUS will not touch this just like Bush wouldn't enforce immigration laws because politics got in the way. In this case it would mean a street full of black rioters in every major city - BRING IT ON, if he is not a "natural born". The Constitution is more important than putting this half white man into the White House.

The wiki reference was only a brief bio on Justice Kennedy. It has nothing to do with the posting or the case.

You might try actually reading what the context of the wiki reference is first.

[DJ MacWoW]

Ok. Now I’m confused as I thought Taitz was one of Keyes lawyers, Too many cases to keep track of!

Amendment 20: Section 3. ...or if the President elect shall have failed to qualify, then the Vice President elect shall act as President until a President shall have qualified...

The framers of our U.S. Constitution knew that pure democracy was a risky experiment for our new constitutional republic to let the popular vote directly elect the President and Commander-in-Chief of the military. That is explained by them in the Federalist Papers. The framers were afraid that one day due to improper influences someone with divided loyalties or otherwise unqualified per the Constitutional mandates would be selected by the people. Thus the framers put the checking mechanism to the pure popular vote in there with the Electoral College and Congress to be sure only a Consitutional qualified person would ever be sworn in and serve as our President. That is one reason why they created the Electoral College.

This is not the Keyes case.

That is all a steer can do is try... but at least he has fun while he is trying!

As far as "us conservatives" just trying to get Senator Obama to abide by the constitution we are going to do more than "try." We will succeed! You see, to a Democrat and what appears to be politicians throughout Washington, DC the constitution means nothing to them and they are not going to call Obama on his shredding of the constitution. Lawsuit after lawsuit will be filed until Obama shows the world his birth certificate. Obama said that McCain, "just doesn't get it." Obama doesn't get it! He doesn't realize that the constitution matters to millions of Americans still. We will not rest until he does what he should have done from day one of this "controversy."

[bergmeid]

Thanks. I looked that case up and the docket doesn’t give much information. I had hoped to find a reason. I’m starting to believe that any judge in any court in this country can throw anything out and doesn’t owe anyone any explanation. Well that makes this rather easy then. We have a bunch of kangaroo courts. Constitution, my a$$. Sorry for the ranting, I’m just really ticked off.

[DJ MacWoW]

I see that. And talked about wandering in the garden of lawsuits in post 14.

[EternalVigilance]

This is not the Keyes case.

That's right. It is NOT the Keyes case.
