SCOTUS denies re-hearing of Hollister vs. Soetoro, Obama

devattel told us he viewed a private copy of the 1787 New York edition.. chapter 19, section 212..a natural born citizen is born to citizen parents.

We wait for the scans from the kind, generous researcher who purchased the Luke White edition.

We know this freeper..will post the scans..unlike our site pest jamese777.

Is this picture a view of the copy of White’s 1787 edition you said you received?

The scan I posted was sent to me as the "New York edition" by a library. When I questioned the library they admitted it was from the Dublin edition. After spending cash, one could understand my irritation when they told me it was a different edition and that they did not own nor carry the New York edition from 1787.

Like, maybe, the rule of law?
The law says that judges are required to recuse themselves from cases where they have a personal or financial conflict of interest.
Look at what’s going on here. A fake gets into office, appoints cronies to SCOTUS, and in return for receiving a paycheck for life from the taxpayers, they make sure that no cases against the fake ever even make it to trial. Stalin would be proud. This is how dictators ALWAYS take over. He installs his own personal judiciary that will always do exactly as he tells them to do.

This is third-world crap. We’ve become Zimbabwe. No wonder Obama won’t confront Ahmadinejad; he IS Ahmadinejad.

Just my two cents - I agree 100% that this is third world crap but I also feel that blame should be placed where it belongs, with congress.

Congress will do nothing as long as they have the supreme court justices to take the rap for them.The public perception is that is that the supreme court has failed to act, when, in my opinion it is congress that has failed to act. Congress likes this perception.

Aside from a legal investigation of wrong-doing and potential impeachment, I don’t know that the Constitution allows Congress to decide who can be President.

I know there are those who disagree with that, but having read the rules regarding the counting of the electoral votes, the rules are all about whether the state’s electoral process was duly followed. The only states where Congress could have contested the state’s electoral votes on eligibility grounds would be someplace like NJ where the SOS was required to verify eligibility before placing the candidate on the ballot. But within one day how was Congress supposed to decide what was actually a court case that the court refused to hear?

The only thing I could see Congress being able to do and still fit within the Constitution and law would be to file a lawsuit of their own in order to get a ruling from the courts, but even that would have problems because SCOTUS won’t issue advisory rulings. Somebody has to experience some kind of particularized harm in order for there to be a case.

See, when it comes down to interpreting the Constitution’s term “natural born citizen”, there really ISN’T anybody besides the courts who the Constitution allows to do that. So though Congress could have taken some steps before and can certainly take now, ultimately it would be unconstitutional for anybody besides the courts to actually decide the issue of eligibility when there is a question of law and not just fact.
