After being denied, dismissed and otherwise turned back in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Appellate Division, and the New Jersey Supreme Court, retired lawyer and professional poker player Leo Donofrio is taking the ultimate gamble and bringing his eligibility-related action before the United States Supreme Court. Donofrio, however, alleges that he has already been dealt a poor hand.
THE CASE
In his action filed against New Jersey Secretary of State Nina Mitchell Wells, Donofrio contends that Wells has not fulfilled her duty as Secretary of State to independently verify the constitutional qualifications of the presidential candidates before placing them on the ballot in the Garden State. Specifically, Donofrio notes in the brief accompanying the Application for Emergency Stay filed with the U.S. Supreme Court, Wells was required by N.J.S.A. 19:13-22 to make a statement in which she certifies and signs off on the names of the candidates on the ballots. The statute, in relevant part with emphasis added:
The Secretary of State, not later than eighty-six days before any election whereat any candidates nominated in any direct petition or primary certificate of nomination or State convention certificate filed with him are to be voted for, shall make and certify, under his hand and seal of office, and forward to the clerks of the several counties of the State a statement of all such candidates for whom the voters within such county may be by law entitled to vote at such election.

>>>Obamas father was a Kenyan national and so, regardless of where Obama was born, he was at birth subject to the laws of both the United States and of Kenya and as such he is not a natural born citizen of the United States and cannot hold the office of president.<<<
This is interesting.

You’re Indian, here’s a good example. My lab partner at school is Indian. She wants to take a graduate research assistant job at the school. In order to get it she is going to have to fly all the way back to India to get her visa status changed. Every i must be dotted and every t must be crossed, and there is still an element of uncertainty involved.
Now why should a lowly graduate student have to jump through all of those hoops, yet the candidate for the most powerful job in the world does not? It is nonsensical and unfair that he should not have to prove definitively his citizenship status.
>>>Or was that as true as the official copy of his BC on his website?<<<

And in the same file folder as the COLBs on the same server.
Maybe not McCain. This legal challenge is a non-partisan suit. It includes John McCain.
But if he was known to be a fraud from the beginning wouldn't that override this whole election through protocol?
There is no doubt that in the Berg case, that they were fighting this on procedural grounds, rather than coughing up a document.
Now if we can see the actual micro fiche copy, I'll be happy. But right now, this looks like someone made a copy a newspaper and too a pen to it.
>>>Besides Gov Lindle a Republican told the state to seal it so she had to look.
How so? You think she went down to a file cabinet with a roll of duct tape?
>>>My opinion it is not about his American birth there is something else on the BC that would slighlty damage his credibility.... maybe it states relgion is Muslim, Maybe it lists Race as Caucasion, maybe Obama Senior is not his real father.
This filing isn’t about his birth certificate. If you read it, the filing shows he is not natural born.
Because anyone, with even half a brain, would have ended this quickly by producing the original birth certificate, instead of letting this go on and on.
Secondly, we believe in following the Constitution.....every last word of it!
Actually, Donofrio’s and Berg’s filings show that Obama is not natural born despite the fact of showing or not showing the B.C. Both their filings also show that the DNC and state ELECs never vetted Obama.
I think we can render the B.C. a moot issue. He is not eligible even if he whips out a B.C. now.
Who is Roger Calero?
That's all the reason anyone needs to be suspicious. We all have to provide certified copies of our birth certificates for many lesser things. Why has Obama and the DNC spent tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees to avoid showing us his birth certificate?
The GOP was too timid to publicly demand evidence. The Judiciary is too corrupt to uphold the Constitution. Congress has already fallen to Obama's fellow travelers. The last hope was a free and vigilant press to demand answers from ALL sides -- but the major media were already in the Socialist/Obamao tank long ago. The rule of law has been mortally wounded, if it is not already dead. Weep for it.
IMO, If he were a dual citizen at birth (UK & US), the FF would have disaproved. They were concerned about divided loyalties and foreign influence. Sadly, it would only fly among strict Constituionalists.
Berg’s and Donofrio’s filings show DNC as liable for running a non eligible candidate. Would they still exist as a party? Wouldn’t they be held accountable for this mess in some way?
But if Donofrio’s filing has any merit, he included McCain with his filing.
