Was Leo Donofrio's case fast tracked at SCOTUS today?!? Emergency review like Bush V. Gore?

Posted: Nov.20.2008 @ 9:20 pm | Lasted edited: Nov.20.2008 @ 9:31 pm US SUPREME COURT TAKES EXTRAORDINARY EXPEDITED ACTION IN FAST TRACKING NJ CITIZEN SUIT CHALLENGING '08 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

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.

Laws are passed all the times which re-define common terms for the purpose of a narrower or variant meaning within the body of a section or a subsection. See for example "child". In modern legislation it is usual to preface such a section of law with the definition of terms within it. The key phrase to look for is "for the purpose of".

Some random examples:

In older codes and law the variant meaning is inferred from context. Certainly qualifications for the supreme position in government would have more strict requirements, and correspondent restrictive definitions of terms than any other. And in this case such is the case from all historical context about that section of qualifications for the Presidency.

It's amazing how many people pour out their hearts on this petition. I've read many that have just found out that they've been duped by the media and had voted for Obama. I think it deserves a recount with all the facts being laid down as they are.
There was a previous poster of a church of African American totalling 43 in the congregration that are absolutely beside themselves with the thought that they voted for him. Unreal that the world does not know about this still to this day!

Why would our Framers have the SPECIFIC requirement of the President being a Natural Born Citizen? Just for grins?!

What other Constitutionally-defined office (or heck, any civilian job) that has as a SPECIFIC requirement to be a Natural Born Citizen? (crickets)

Answer those questions, honestly, and you'll understand why not JUST anybody can hold that unique office.

>>> Don’t worry about the troll

No worries, I've been a Freeper for more than 10 years now and I can smell 'em a mile away.

I just want to be sure that all questions are addressed in a LOGICAL manner -- "for the record," shall we say.

There are a lot of lerkers here at FR, uninformed and confused about what's going on. I'd rather not let stupidity go unanswered if possible -- people can sometimes let conjecture get confused with the facts, and then it perpetuates itself.

BTW, rather curious that Donofrio's name didn't appear until yesterday over at DU -- posts over there kept getting deleted by the moderators...

"All Obama has to do is produce a certificate showing he was born in this country.."

Not according to this information. It doesn't matter if he was born here or not according to the framers of the Constitution

No, only a natural born U.S. citizen can be president or vice-president. Now answer this question, honestly, and I'll leave you alone. What law lays out the procedure by which a candidate establishes his qualifications for president? What agency is tasked with checking the qualifications and how is it done?

I'll bite.

None. That's why the SCOTUS is involved today. Prior to this election, common sense largely prevailed. Common sense has left the building.

What agency is tasked with checking the qualifications and how is it done?

Department of State for each state in the union as deemed acceptable by the constituency of the state and overseen by the Office of the Secretary.

Bottom line ... the POTUS cannot serve two masters. Having dual citizenship precludes 'natural born' status. Renouncing foreign citizenship, or allowing foreign citizenship to lapse, does not instate a natural born status. It is that simple.

Posted at 17:02 - I refuse to spout what this man is stating since it would only be spreading falsities, but if I could reach through the computer I would. I know I stated earlier not to react, but I think I have been at this too long and just can't take it anymore. Good night all!

Non-Seq, just to be clear, your answer of "No, only a natural born U.S. citizen can be president or vice-president" was NOT an anwser to any of the questions I posed ... Your non-answer speaks volumes...

What law lays out the procedure by which a candidate establishes his qualifications for president? What agency is tasked with checking the qualifications and how is it done?

AH, good questions.

You know, I've heard countless stories of people calling, asking various agencies, "Who checks to see if a candidate is qualified to be President?"

If you call your Secretary of State, he/she may tell you, "the Federal Elections Commission."

Call the FEC, they'll probably tell you, "the candidates' party officials" (e.g., the DNC, RNC, etc). Nobody seems to know for sure, and if they do, they a pretty p!ss-poor job with their "due diligence!"

How did Róger Calero of the Socialist Workers Party, born in Nicaragua in 1969, run for for President in 2004 and 2008 in up to 15 states?
Did his party "establish his qualifications?"
Did the SOS in New York, California and other states verify that Calero could never serve as President?
Who indeed?

Donofrio asked this question before, and after, his lawsuit with the NJ SOS. The SOS's answer was a resounding, "we didn't check Obama's qualification."

Are we to trust the DNC (and the RNC) TRULY vetted their candidates, just like we trusted the SWP with Calero, a candidate who CLEARLY cannot be President?

I don't think I'm going to put that much faith in Howard Dean.

“but Obama won due to absentee ballots and early voting by 11% I believe the number was? How many of those ballots were legit?”

Exactly! Meaning, how many were not? And so on in state, after state, after state.

They passed a law that gave him natural born citizenship since his father was in the military

NO! It was a Senate resolution. It is not even close to being a law, and it means absolutely nothing.
