I am awaiting clarification from the Clerk's office at the United States Supreme Court as to whether my stay application has now been accepted in lieu of a more formal full petition for certiorari (and/or mandamus or prohibition). Such a transformation is a rare and significant emergency procedure. It was used in Bush v. Gore, a case I have relied on in my brief.

We do know the case has certainly been "DISTRIBUTED for Conference", a process usually reserved for full petitions of certiorari. Stays are usually dealt with in a different manner. As to a stay application, a single Justice may; a) deny the stay; b) grant the stay; c) refer the stay to the full Court.

“A “president elect” isn’t a “government official”.”

And Zero is not Pres Elect till the EC votes.

He said a good lawyer has layers of claims to insure he does not get knocked out.

That's what I though he was doing...with McCain in his lawsuit. A higher bar though. Argue all the angles.

Lordy, they must be! It was remarkable. My computer started to crash, faltered a bit, the anti-virus software started running, then it crashed again completely. It worked for probably 5 full minutes with a black screen, cursor only showing, then finally rebooted. Very strange, but the “strangest” thing was that the anti-virus software was triggered. Strange Days are, indeed, upon us.

LD acutally purports that John McCain is not a natural born citizen, due to Panama not being stictly an element of the nation of the USA. So, I repeat to any and all:

What does the Constitution require, if both Obama and McCain are disqualified?

What does the SCOTUS have jurisdiction in requiring?

It’s not just you! With posts disappearing and pages going poof the Pentagon is also seeing problems. Just posted on Fox News:

Pentagon Hit by Unprecedented Cyber Attack
As a result of the cyber attack, the Defense Department has banned the use of external hardware devices throughout a vast network of military computers.

You can read that on Fox News

I posted a thread on the Intrade forum that covers this material, and it’s the widest read thread on that forum. I’m hoping Intrade will open a contract on this issue.

Will the controversy about Obama’s Birth Certificate affect the Intrade Price?

Others said Dems keep their electors and it would go to Hillary.

Dems keep their electors? But she was not on the ballot, so I'm confused. I know she and her supporters were loath to give up their votes at the convention. But those were primary votes.

[Proud2BeRight]

That’s strange. I got an unknown screen popped up on me a few minutes ago and said it was running a virus scan (not my brand). I quickly unplugged the computer to stop it and am now running mine. I think “they” might be nervous about this subject.

BP2 I'm sure LD said on what I THINK was the Monday night Plainsradio show (boy I'm coming in here late and tired) that the 1790 statue was effectually changed in part due to a 1795 statue that dropped the word “natural” from the phrase “natural citizen” to further his point(s)....
now I'm going to have to go back and suggest you do so unless someone's done so further on this thread- I'm just trying to flag immediately upon seeing your post

So Obama has to be at least 200 years old or he is inelgible because his father was a British citizen.

This is claim #1. It is rock solid. The Framers were deathly afraid a English “agent” could become President or any foreigner.

It would be such poetic justice if Obama were to be disqualified, since his modus operandi in the past was to have his opponents disqualified and thrown off ballots due to technicalities.

BLOGGERS: Real Clear Politics refuses to allow Reader Articles concerning Barack Obama’s citizenship. My latest post reports a scheduled Supreme Court conference on this very issue. My post was removed from RCP today. In fact, every post, by most bloggers, covering Barack Obama’s citizenship has been scrubbed from RCP. Most of us think what the Supreme Court does is news worthy. Not the case at RCP. The question is: why does RCP not deem actions by the U.S. Supreme Court important for readers to know about? PLEASE, if you have not posted about this already, grab this and cross-post at your blog. Let’s get the information out and send some letters to the Supreme Court. ***** Justice Clarence Thomas has placed a discussion of Barack Obama’s citizenship on the December 5th docket for conference, meaning a discussion of the merit of this particular case. A commenter at America’s Right, who has been the leading source of excellent information on the various lawsuits, is requesting that we write directly to the Supreme Court:


Really? They are scrubbing news? Is anyone shocked? Just thought I should post this since they asked that we do.

[STARWISE]

Thank you for posting! I didn't have a chance to go to his website today.

Praise the Lord .. that maybe there's a chance that this issue will be heard and adjudicated, once and for all.

### **Mods .. could this please be put in Breaking?

It's now been officially docketed at the Supreme Court.

For those who've not had a chance to hear his passion, his devotion to protecting us by pursuing this case so diligently to guard our precious Constitution, listen to him.

You will realize just what is at stake, and how grateful we should be to our Founding Fathers and the precise perfection of integrity they wove into their words for the laws that govern this Republic, our treasure, our precious America.

He will inspire you.

I was reawakened to just how much of an obligation we all have as citizens to patrol our government officials and defend the Constitution and our laws, and how much we have the right to and need to stand up and take action when it's necessary.

God bless America ... pray that this righteous patriot's cause is heard and given a fair hearing.

I think this is why Dean high tailed out of the DNC Chair spot just days after the election.

Your post is pure BS.

Insanely ignorantly pure BS.

A “president elect” isn’t a “government official”.
***Good point — it settles a lot of legalese nonsense rather quickly.

I think it it would then be up to each state whether or not to disqualify the entire electoral slates in favor of the third-place electoral slate, or to just let them vote for whoever anyway.

If both the big party slates are disqualified nationally, the third-place slates would be certified and Nader would run away with it.

Ralph Nader - 437
Barr - 77
Ron Paul - 12
Chuck Baldwin - 5
(NO VOTE Oklahoma - 7)

But I think it would be up to the states, and many would keep the original electors and many of those may stick with Obama or McCain anyway. It could be a free-for-all where Obama, McCain, Biden, Hillary, Palin, Paul, Nader and Barr all get electoral votes.

Maybe?:

Nader - 104
Obama - 120
Biden - 80
Palin - 90
Hillary - 80
McCain - 28
Barr - 30
Paul - 6

The House would have to choose between the top three *qualified* of those, with one vote per state...

[thesetruths]

It would be such poetic justice if Obama were to be disqualified, since his modus operandi in the past was to have his opponents disqualified and thrown off ballots due to technicalities.

dittoes!
