On December 5, 2008, only ten days before the electoral college votes, the nine Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court will meet in private to review Obama's citizenship status.
Leo Donofrio's case, "Leo C. Donofrio, v. Nina Mitchell Wells, Secretary of State of the State of New Jersey, United States Supreme Court Docket No. 08A407," regarding Obama's citizenship has reached a new level. The case has been "distributed for conference."
This docketing today by the court should send ripples of fear through the Obama camp. Obama has been proceeding at lightening speed to put together a cabinet and take possession of the White House with the hope that he won't have to answer the question of whether or not he was "at birth" a "natural born citizen."
Every major news network, print and cable news like FOX, CNN and MSNBC, have ignored all the court cases challenging Obama's eligibility as sore losers or conspiracy theories. It might be in their best interest at this point to report this critically important meeting to take place on December 5, 2008, or lose what little credibility they have left.
If four of the nine Justices vote to hear the case in full review, oral argument may be ordered. The conference is scheduled for December 5, 2008, ten days before the meeting of the Electoral College…
The case originally sought, pre-election, to have the names of Barack Obama, John McCain, and Roger Calero removed from New Jersey ballots, and for a stay of the "national election" pending Supreme Court review of whether those candidates were eligible under the Constitution as natural born Citizens, as is required by Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution of the United States.
Leo Donofrio brought his case from a lower New Jersey court to the NJ Supreme Court -- was denied -- and then he filed an emergency stay application in the United States Supreme Court on Nov. 3, 2008, before the Honorable Associate Justice David Souter. Justice Souter denied the emergency stay application on Nov. 6.
Leo Donofrio renewed the application, as per Supreme Court Rule 22.4, to the Honorable Associate Justice Clarence Thomas by way of Express mail on Nov. 14. The application arrived at the Supreme Court on Nov. 17 and was submitted directly to Justice Thomas.
On Nov. 19, the case was docketed for full conference of all nine Justices and scheduled for December 5, 2008. It is not known at this time the exact details of how the case came to be "DISTRIBUTED for Conference".
Background on "The Justices Conference" is discussed as follows by the Supreme Court Historical Society:
"No outsider enters the room during conference. The junior Associate Justice acts as "doorkeeper," sending for reference material, for instance, and receiving it at the door...
Five minutes before conference time, 9:30 or 10 a.m., the Justices are summoned. They exchange ritual handshakes and settle down at the long table. The Chief sits at the east end; the other Justices sit at places they have chosen in order of their seniority…
The Chief Justice opens the discussion, summarizing each case. The senior Associate Justice speaks next, and comment passes down the line. To be accepted for review, a case needs only four votes, fewer than the majority required for a decision on the case itself. Counsel for the litigants are directed to submit their printed briefs so that each Justice has a set several weeks before argument.
They wanted Roe v. Wade really, really badly, so they miscalculated on that one.
Recently, Ruth Bader Ginsberg actually said that she now regrets the decision. Not, of course, that she doesn’t completely support the abortion “right” or will ever vote against it, but that she now thinks a more gradualist approach would have been more effective for the Culture of Death in the long run.
So you guys are fully prepared for President Biden?
Regardless of the outcome, if the supremes rule on this, it would be one of the most fascinating cases in supreme court history. I could only imagine if they ruled he was ineligible, the carnage on the streets would be enormous!
That alone is worth the price of admission.
Calif. Supreme Court reviews Gay Marriage Proposition 8 . . . So WHY NOT THIS by SCOTUS ?
Not a Big Deal . . I Had to show MY birth Certificate to get my last Job.
>> "what the heck?" <<
Just blew in from the tin foil hat forum?
Chill. The handshakes are just a formality.
Who would further investigate this matter and remove the Messiah from office once he gets in? His own corrupt Attorney General? The loyal US Attorneys he will put everywhere, just like clinton? The leftist judges he appoints? A newly leftist SCOTUS? A Democrat congress? A complicit media?
It would take a civil war to get him removed from office. And if he keeps behaving the way he has done so far, there may well be one, unfortunately.
Never going to happen. Obama could send them a birth certificate written in crayon and they would accept it. His Kenyan grandmother could show up with a film of his birth and pan out the window to show Lions and elephants in the distance and it will not matter!! They know it would cause the country to explode. Plus, Obama isn’t stupid he has a nice fake ready to go and the SCOTUS will rubberstamp it.
And what, exactly, is unconstitutional about that law? The Constitution clearly gives Congress the authority to pass naturalization laws in Section, Article 8.
He didn’t run for President and that’s not what the Constitution says.
Its about being naturally born in the USA.
Now post the text as it read in 1961.
It HAS to break into the MSM.
“Counsel for the litigants are directed to submit their printed briefs so that each Justice has a set SEVERAL WEEKS BEFORE argument.”
“Several weeks”??? The Electors vote in 9 days from their conference date, and Jan. 20th is just a little over 6 weeks away. The longer they wait the worse it could be.
Its actually humorous. US journalism is deader than last weeks doormouse.
We fill the gap!
With any luck, a heavily spun version will be in the MSM tommorrow.
If they can't vote for Obama I don't think they'll be voting for McCain. You think they'll install Hillary?
Milk shakes....?
“...explain that he wasn’t really born in Hawaii, but descended straight from heaven.”
