I don’t like the precedent stopping the election would create.

Type of litigation that gets one Rule 11 sanctions. NObama could have been born on Mars and it wouldn’t matter.

How can a member of the group that is a party to the contract NOT have standing?

"WWe the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

Surrick is nuts — and the Supreme’s too, if they refuse Popular Sovereignty in this matter.

Do they not understand whom “We the People” are?

Maybe they should re-read the Delcaration of Independence and be warned!

Twas the night before elections
And all through the town
Tempers were flaring
Emotions all up and down!

I, in my bathrobe
With a cat in my lap
Had cut off the TV
Tired of political crap.

When all of a sudden
There arose such a noise
I peered out of my window
Saw Obama and his boys

They had come for my wallet
They wanted my pay
To give to the others
Who had not worked a day!

He snatched up my money
And quick as a wink
Jumped back on his bandwagon
As I gagged from the stink

He then rallied his henchmen
Who were pulling his cart
I could tell they were out
To tear my country apart!

’ On Fannie, on Freddie,
On Biden and Ayers!
On Acorn, On Pelosi’
He screamed at the pairs!

They took off for his cause
And as he flew out of sight
I heard him laugh at the nation
Who wouldn’t stand up and fight!

So I leave you to think
On this one final note-
IF YOU DON’T WANT SOCIALISM
GET OUT AND VOTE!!!!

I’m in favor of delaying the election until every secretary of state can certify that election fraud has been wrung out of their voter rolls, or that sufficient steps have been taken to ensure an election free of vote fraud. They wanna riot over that? Let ‘em.

The courts have already ruled that Berg doesn’t have standing, but there is a move underway to get some candidates for the Electoral College to be listed as plaintiffs. Being a listed candidate for Elector might give one standing. (Hey, it’s worth a try, right?)

I have to say this.

The Constitution does not say you have to have a birth certificate.

It says,

,"No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."

It does not say how it must be proved.

If Obama is elected this would be argued forever though out his term(s).

The constitution is already toilet paper to the left in this country and grey toilet paper at that.

They see abortion in there! (I Shrug!)

Flame away while I hide under a wet blanket.

Actually, don't flame me I'm just laying down oppostions spin for the sake of debate.

The US Supreme Court has no such power.

God help the United States of America should they ever pretend to exercise it.

My considered opinion is that once the Supreme Court justices stop laughing at the sheer idiocy of this suggestion, they’ll say “No”.

Watch out for BO trolls
[Confession of an Obama operative]
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2117212/posts?page=49
Next, we infiltrate all the blogs and all the youtube videos and overwhelm the voting, the comments, etc.
People makes posts to the effect that the world has “gone mad” [snip]

I realize that Rush/Boortz/others don’t want us talking about this. Well, they didn’t want us questioning BO’s Christianity either. But it’s impacting the election:

Public ‘misconception’ is widespread in Kentucky about Barack Obama’s faith
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2115519/posts
“Despite heavy national media attention about Obama’s faith, more than half of likely Republican voters — 54 percent — and one of every four Democrats in the state do not know that the Democratic presidential nominee is a Christian, the poll found.”

23% of Texans convinced Obama is a Muslim
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=79496

Whether you disagree or not isn’t the point. This is an internet-driven issue. They aren’t asking because of major talk radio shows.

Conclusion: the internet can drive CERTIFIGATE too, despite Obama trolls, and despite the naysayers who buy the trolls’ spin.

The U.S. Supreme Court is being asked to help the nation avoid a constitutional crisis by halting Tuesday's election until Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama documents his eligibility to run for the top office in the nation.

This is either totally BS or Berg is totally incompetent. There is absolutely no way that the SCOTUS is going to hear an appeal or consider a stay. Why? Because with rare exceptions (and this is not one of them), no direct appeal lies from the Federal District Court to the Supreme Court. Berg must first take an appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit. I wouldn't be surprised if the court sanctions him for frivilous conduct.

This is stupid. We all need to just go vote and get rid of Obama at the polls. Afterward, we can continue to investigate his birth certificate. We are very close to winning this and third-party conspiracy nonsense will not work in our favor.

I don’t expect any court to side with Berg, especially at this point, but he’s keeping the issue alive and stirring the pot to generate doubt. I like it!

Elections are not a federal function.

Presidential elections are functions of the various states and are merely a process to select the constitutionally mandated electors forming the Electoral college.
