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.

BTTT
As much as I want to know Obama is (or isn’t) able to serve the office, allowing this suit to move forward sets a rather dangerous precedent.
Thanks for posting this Frantzie!
Ping.
FYI
I’m trying to see his blog but it is slow coming up. Maybe too much traffic. Kind of like the scene in the Mel Brooks movie (High Anxiety?) where so many court reporters hit the row of phone booths, so hard, that it all tips over?
Bumping to hear some of the legalese translated. It is definitely time to have “natural born” clearly defined, and to know whether Barack Obama fits the requirement. He probably does, but why wouldn’t he ever prove it with his documentation? Let’s find out.

I thought that happened in Airplane?
Yeah I think upholding The Constitution would set a dangerous precedent. The Framers risked death, ruin and worse. The were very serious about the requirements to become POTUS. We either have a Constitution or we have mob rule and anarchy.
Still, it is very interesting that, through all of the many lawsuits over Obama's eligibility to serve as POTUS, Obama has never bothered to publish his original birth certificate and put all of the rumors and allegations to rest.
If he’s ineligible, it’ll make the Watts riots look like midget boxing. Buy as much ammo as you can afford. If you’re not armed, better get going!
Sarcasm is no thx. See my response to goldstategop.
How so?
You are welcome. I read it and almost fell off my chair. I think Leo is probably stunned.
BTW - I do not know Leo. I heard him on the Internet radio shows. He is a real hero, patriot and he knows the Constitution. He is risking a lot to stand up for us and America.
See above.
Why is this a dangerous precedent?
Questions about Obama’s birth certificate and eligibility to run for POTUS were raised as early as last spring. The DNC HAD to be aware of this, and yet they did nothing. They didn’t WANT to check whether he was eligible to run or not.
If it turns out that he is not eligible, then the DNC will be almost as much to blame as Obama himself.
No, it’s not ideal to raise such an issue after someone has been elected. But whose fault is that?
“As much as I want to know Obama is (or isnt) able to serve the office, allowing this suit to move forward sets a rather dangerous precedent.”
Say what? Your tagline could apply to your comment on this thread, “Admin Moderator, “No. We dumped it because it was stupid.””
I think Leo was trying to say that the clerk for Souter turned down the case and not Souter. That is why Leo was so upset for several days. I think Leo will address that problem later.
