No. 08A407 Title: Leo C. Donofrio, Applicant v. Nina Mitchell Wells, New Jersey Secretary of State
Docketed: Lower Ct: Supreme Court of New Jersey Case Nos.: (AM-0153-08T2 at the New Jersey Appellate Division without a docket number)
~~~Date~~~ ~~~~~~~Proceedings and Orders~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nov 3 2008 Application (08A407) for stay pending the filing and disposition of a petition for a writ of certiorari, submitted to Justice Souter. Nov 6 2008 Application (08A407) denied by Justice Souter. Nov 14 2008 Application (08A407) refiled and submitted to Justice Thomas. Nov 19 2008 DISTRIBUTED for Conference of December 5, 2008.
Keyes went to Ca because he was a presidential candidate (American Independents Party? not sure) and so his standing was as another candidate, he had the right to challenge Ozero’s qualifications regarding constitutional minimum requirements.
I sent this reply to 33 by mistake meant to send it to you.
The good thing about this case in SCOTUS is that it doesn’t matter if he turns over the COLB or if he was born overseas.
Just the fact that he was born with dual citizenship, which Obama has acknowledged on the Fightthesmears website, is enough to disqualify as a Natural Born Citizen. With dual nationality he does not have Singular Loyalty to the US as the Founding Fathers intended.
And just how are you doing with that vision of 8 years of usurper in the White House???
Just who will be a part of this conference???
Yes. According to Leo Donofrio, he went through the NJ courts to insure he had standing. Berg should have done the same thing. Leo was very careful in his filing. He gave Berg and Keyes attorney Gary Kreep suggestions on how to improve their filings.
Keyes also has a few interesting twists. CA has case law precedents where ineligble candidates have been thrown off the ballot. Eldridge Cleaver was 34 years old and needed to be 35. I think Keyes also picked his VP because he is a CA resident. I heard they also got one elector to join their case in CA too. Keyes teams need to raise money. Leo told them a few things to fix to amend their filing and told them to go straight to CA Supreme Court to save them a step in CA Superior court.
All the other Justices. I think 4 in total have to agree.
From post # 10
A cert petition is voted on at a session of the Court called a conference. A conference is a private meeting of the nine Justices by themselves; the public is not permitted to attend, and neither are the Justices’ law clerks. If four Justices vote to grant the petition, then the case proceeds to the briefing stage; otherwise, the case ends. Except in death penalty cases and other cases in which the Court orders briefing from the respondent, the respondent may, but is not required to, file a response to the cert petition.
Thomas needs to convince 3 other Justices to satisfy the Rule of 4 to get a full hearing scheduled.
If, and when that happens there should be trememdous MSM coverage, which various Constitutional scholars and historians being interviewed.
If would be a truly historic hearing that has never been argued in front of SCOTUS before.
Yeah, the Constitution is just chock full of weird tinfoil oddities.
I am not sure if this is true but I heard Keyes was not on the ballot in all states and they rushed to get on CA’s ballot. I am wondering if Keyes had inside info and he was rushed on the ballot as insurance because a lot of people know O was born in Kenya.
Leo’s case does not hang on O’s birth certificate. even if O was born in HI - O has admitted on his web site that he was born as a UK citizen. This disqualifies him.
OK, good. Yes, I’d read about the CA precedents.
Wondering now what Team Obama is thinking about this. They don’t know any more than we do, I assume, or they’d have laid this to rest (by showing the docs) as well. They are counting on what Obama has told them, which is no doubt that he is kosher.
If any of the Team were worried that the rug might be pulled out from them, what would they be doing right now to circumvent that?
McCain did not need that congressional ruling they gave him. He was natural born. But would the Obamanauts feel that a ruling of Congress (declaring him eligible no matter what) after the election could trump his actual status?
BTTT.
The Supreme Court has the final say regarding the Constitution. The Senate cannot trump SCOTUS with a resolution or even a new law. The only way to trump SCOTUS is to pass an new Amendment to the Constitution.
Sorry, but your theory about obama BC-DC-Trig BC is cock-a-mamie.
Listen to one of of Leo’s audio interviews.
—according to his suit, obama has already disqualified himself from POTUS because he admits on his website to being a dual citizen of US & GB, listen to his explanation
—he said his case does not need the BC, but requests it as ancillary document
—calling the suit ‘bipartisan’ didn’t help get it to the SC, it won’t help win the case
—Berg got this ball rolling, give him some credit, I don’t think you’ve heard the last from him just yet
Now there is a reason to speculate why McCain didn’t pursue this BC, because there are guy’s like Leo who can see through the flimsy rationale that calls him a natural born citizen. Perhaps a MAD(mutual assured distruction) bargain with obama?
I don’t expect conservative radio to tough this until Dec. 1-5. They are attack dogs all day, but their master put the muzzle on this time. Gutless all of them.
Means nothing. This is entirely routine and should not be viewed as any sort of signal as to the merits. There are likely scores of other cases scheduled for conference on the same day.
I guess I just believe that newspaper entry published nearly five decades ago, long before anyone thought a black person would need to fake a birth announcement to run for President. It would have been far more likely that Sarah Palin faked being the mother of Bristol's first child, the moonbats actually got some of the lamer parts of the lamestream media to bite on that one.
My point is, those of you pinning your hopes on this sort of stuff are just fooling yourselves. We'll be glad to have your brains working on how to stop his initiatives once you get past this little project of yours.
“More tinfoil hat stuff”
Your comment is illogical.
“Now we need to get four justices to agree on the merits”
This is a joke. Right?
No standing, no authority, no evidence, unprecedented request NEVER BEFORE EVEN DISCUSSED, much less granted.
Just absurd.
Nothing is stopping any of you from writing a letter to each Justice at the SCOTUS. Write one letter and copy/paste names and address from list below. (....A Clerk I spoke with last week said that this was the BEST way to get their attention.)
Here’s their address:
United States Supreme Court
1 First Street NE Washington DC 20543
The Supreme Court Justices are as follows:
Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts
Supreme Court Justice John Stevens
Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia
Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy
Supreme Court Justice David Souter
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Ginsburg
Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer
Supreme Court Justice Samual Alito
Lawyers,
Is there any way that these cases can be combined?
Did you see this? Leo’s case in Conference with SCOTUS!
