Obama Court Cases Await Dates In December
The Bulletin ^ | 11/26/08 | John Connolly

Posted on 11/26/2008 9:31:20 AM PST by pissant

Two of the court cases surrounding president elect Barack Obama's birth certificate controversy are expecting important decisions from the Supreme Court in early December.

Philip J. Berg, the Pennsylvania lawyer who filed a lawsuit against Mr. Obama in August, filed a writ requesting that the U.S. Supreme Court hear an appeal on his case, which was dismissed in early November. According to the writ, Mr. Obama has until Dec. 1 to respond to the petition for appeal. If the court grants the petition, the case will be scheduled for the filing of briefs and for oral argument.

In New Jersey, Leo Donofrio filed suit against New Jersey Secretary of State Nina Wells, asserting she had not maintained the integrity of the electoral process. His case was rejected at the state level, and he presented it to Supreme Court Justice David Souter. When Justice Souter rejected the case, Mr. Donofrio presented it to Justice Clarence Thomas, who docketed it for conference on Dec. 5. In that conference, if four of the nine Supreme Court justices decide to accept the case, then hearings will be scheduled for the case.

The controversy exists over questions of Mr. Obama's eligibility to serve as president of the U.S. Mr. Obama has been unwilling to release his original long form birth certificate, fueling speculation that he has something to hide. Multiple lawsuits have been filed over the matter, some of which have been dismissed for lack of standing.

SCOTUS Docket

There is a WSJ article dismissing and dissing Berg's case and barely mentioning Donofrio's with any facts.Many need to write to the WSJ as it is NEWS and it is blacked out by the MSM.

Does anyone know the status of Dr. Alan Keyes’ lawsuit (to prevent CA from casting their 55 electoral votes)? That one sounded the most promising to me....

How can we control illegal immigration if we have an illegal immigrant in the White House?

We The People will need to protect the Constitution by force of arms because our elected leaders and appointed judges aren’t doing it for us.

It is a worst case scenario, but if you are right that the Court will decide according to public opinion rather than on the merits, it will join the MSM, and the legislature as institutions which are not acting in our best interests.

Unfortunately Philip Berg won’t be taken seriously by any court. He is notorious in Pennsylvania for his multiple malpractice reprimands by the District Courts in PA.

Leo Donofrio's suit for an emergency stay is on the SC docket. So I'd say he was taken seriously by Justice Thomas. It is different than Berg's case and is quite interesting. We will see.

I think the day is coming when we will be thankful McCain lost, for the bailouts, for the RINO's, for activist judges, etc. Not because we agree with these events, but because these events are hastening the return of power to the people.

Not a party. A people. And this will even include current Obama-bots, who will be rudely awakened.

The tipping point is coming. Be ready.

One unique (AFAIK) aspect of Donofrio's effort is that it does not rest on whether or not Obama was born in Hawaii. It is predicated on the question of the meaning of NATURAL BORN CITIZEN, which has never been tested, and which is affected by Obama's father's citizenship status.

Yes....and it brings in the aspect of placing candidates on an election ballot who are KNOWN to be ineligible for President (the Nicauragan born candidate).

The dual citizenship/loyalty/allegiance issue is quite interesting. It brings into question the intent of the Founders of “natural born citizen” in Article II.

I am not 100% sure, but I don’t think we’ve ever had a Presidentuial candidate who had a parent who was not a legal American citizen before now.

Sharp-eyed Lexie made this observation.  Obama's signatures are different on his counterfeit Selective Service Registration and his Statement of Candidacy.  Imagine that?


Selective Service Registration

Candidacy Form

Alright boys and girls -- check any document you see with Obama's signature on it and send me a link to the form using FReepMail.  You can send the page link or the document image link.  Please be sure to identify the document.

If the Selective Service Registration form contains a forged signature, then Obama is in violation of the Selective Service Act.  Penalties for Failure to Register for the Draft:

1. Men who do not register could be prosecuted and, if convicted, fined up to $250,000 and/or serve up to five years in prison.  In addition, men who fail to register with Selective Service before turning age 26, even if not prosecuted, will become ineligible for:

2. Student Financial Aid -- including Pell Grants, College Work Study, Guaranteed Student/Plus Loans, and National Direct Student Loans.

3. U.S. Citizenship -- if the man first arrived in the U.S. before his 26th birthday.

4. Federal Job Training -- The Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) offers programs that can train young men for jobs in auto mechanics and other skills. This program is only open to those men who register with Selective Service.

5. Federal Jobs -- men born after December 31, 1959 must be registered to be eligible for jobs in the Executive Branch* of the Federal government and the U.S. Postal Service.

In addition, several states have added additional penalties for those who fail to register.

*  Last time I checked, the President is a member of the Executive Branch, and Obama was definitely born after 12/31/1959.

Then again, what if the Candidacy Form contains the forgery -- what would that mean?

OBAMA WATCH CENTRAL
WorldNetDaily Exclusive

Orders from new president to spark lawsuit every time

Lawyer lining up plaintiff groups until citizenship dispute addressed

Posted: November 25, 2008
9:18 pm Eastern

By Bob Unruh

A lawyer who is playing a key role in a California lawsuit urging officials
to prevent the state’s 55 Electoral College votes from being recorded for
Barack Obama until questions about his citizenship are resolved says he’s
organizing plans to challenge, even after the inauguration, every order,
every proposal, every piece of paperwork generated by Obama.

“We will file lawsuits on his actions, every time. As long as we have money
, we will keep filing lawsuits until we get a decision as to his citizenship
status,” Gary Kreep, chief of the United States Justice Foundation, told WND
today.

“We’re already talking to groups who are willing to be plaintiffs,” he said.....More at Worldnet

While I’m not saying that I agree or disagree with the forgery arguement - I will state that my signature changed dramatically from when I was in my teens/early twenties and now.

Then it was legible and had lots of curls and big loops - now it is pretty much illegible and I’ve had lawyers/banks try to tell me that it has to be legible and to resign - to which I retort my printed name is next to it and you asked for my signature - this is my signature live with it.

Just saying peoples sigs change over time sometimes dramatically.

“The President Elect is fabulously fit.”

There’s “fit”, and then there’s “good genes.” The first does not imply the second.

His mother died from cancer at age 57.

And he smokes.

We’ll see.

Any chance we can convince him to be a 3 pack+ a day man?

The tobacco lobbyists must be feeling very tempted to send free presidential cases of whatever he is smoking.

We have a new brand? Obarlboros!

They stink like all hail.
