The U.S. Supreme Court will consider Friday whether to take up a lawsuit challenging President-elect Barack Obama's U.S. citizenship, a continuation of a New Jersey case embraced by some opponents of Obama's election. The meeting of justices will coincide with a vigil by the filer's supporters in Washington on the steps of the nation's highest court.

This proves nothing. Lots of grandparents take out birth announcements on their granchildren in their hometown papers.

Donofrio's new blogspot website appears to be shut down. What's up with that?

I think Bill Clinton lowered the standards so much for ethical conduct that Obama figured he could get away with it. Sooner or later our country was bound to have someone with so little respect for our constitution that they would try this. Only an extreme liberal would do this. He has gone to such lengths and expense to hide his past in so many areas. He ran for president and got millions of donors some of them not well off at all to give money to his campaign. If it comes out he is not eligible and is not sworn in, when the rest of the country finally "gets" it he will be a hated man in this country. I have said it before here right after the general election I think he will go from messiah to pariah.

If it doesn't go this way heaven help us.

“The Constitution is not just words to me!! It is the law we live by. Too much blood has been spilt over these “just words” as you say.

It is an insult to our fallen warriors be it 200 years ago or recently.”

That blood was spilled to create a free nation that each generation has been tasked to maintain and preserve, much like a beautiful garden. If we do not do the work necessary to preserve the garden it will become overgrown with vines and brambles ... our nation is subject to the same fate (we don’t seem to be doing well in that regard). No Constitution, no law, will preserve our nation, only people who believe in, and apply the principles they reflect.

I will tell you what is an insult, we have warriors, fighting for us, who are equal to any that have preceded them and at the same time, a majority of our leaders in Washington are inferior to any that have preceded them. THAT IS AN INSULT.

AMEN TO THAT!!

Once again, don't get your hopes up, it's not going to happen, Obama will get away with any damn thing he wants. First, he's black and the RACE CARD will be played, the threat of a civil war will be just more than a threat if obama has to live up to the law. The meeting with SLICK WILLY wasn't for nothing. B.O. is there for a porposs, the PIDE PIPER has put into place the right people for the right jobs. Hilary will no longer have to hide her ties to terrorists groups and no way of knowing just how much they are giving her this time. Emanual who sat on the board at Fanny Mae when he wasn't home watching COWS JUMPING OVER HIS HOUSE should be in jail with, Barney Frank the Child Molester, chris dodd,waters,chuck schumer,polosi,reid and a
few other low life.
If anyone in this country really paid attention to those that were in the Clinton MAFIA group there would be an outrage at the obama picks. We are being STABBED om the back every time some speaks out and says, Hitlary a good pick, those are COMMUNIST words, words of TRADERS.
Bill Richardson has the right job, he's done this before, he has filled in the key spots where someone was needed to cover up the Clinton mafia corruption. Richardson should have been put before a FIRING SQUAD along with Madam notsobright who sign a old Russian treaty to prevent us from have a missile defense, a woman or should i say animal,
along with the other rats wanted this country at war,wanted to see many Americans die. Pres.Bush did bump heads with Russia and we now have a missile defense. The media would have loved to see a war in this country, IT SELLS PAPERS.
Bob Rubin is there and he is a mastermind of deception with figures. obama will bring this country to its knees with the
right people in office.
OIL, OIL, OIL REMEMBER EVERYONE, OIL, THEY THREW THOSE WORDS AROUND OVER AND OVER AGAIN, TILL THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DANCED TO THE BEAT OF THE DRUMP, BUSH AND OIL, BUSH AND OIL,CHANEY AND OIL, REMEMBER. ONE THING THE CLINTONS KNOW HOW TO DO IS PLAY GAMES WITH YOUR HEADS, MIND GAMES, CRY CONSPIRACY TO COVER UP A CRIME, ACUSE YOUR OPONENT OF THE VERY THING YOU ARD DOING AND IF YOU REPEATED IT ENOUGH TIMES PEOPLE WILL BELIEVE IT. THE FACTS ARE CLINTON AND THE OIL COMPANIES, FOREIGN OIL, RICHARDSON TRAVED THE WORLD TO BRING ABOUT HIGH OIL PRICES. WHAT YOU SAW AT THE PUMP AND YOUR HEATING OIL WAS ALL WELL PLANNED AHEAD OF TIME, IT WOULD HAVE CAME ABOUT SOONER BUT BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THE PRICE OF ARABIA ABSOLUTLY REFUSED TO CUT BACK ON OIL PRODUCTION, THE ONLY COUNTRY THAT DIDN'T GO ALONG WITH THE DEALS RICHARDSON WAS OFFERING.
MAKE EVERY DEMORAT SHOW THE MONEY THEY WERE MAKING ON THE OIL MARKET. HITLARY AND OBAMA, THEIR CAMPAIGN MONEY, WERE DID THE DEMORATS GET ALL THE MONEY FROM? When Hitlary needed money and didn't want to dig into her on personal dirty money the oil market would go on a roller coaster ride. Campaign is over and the market is down THEY RODE THE MARKET UP AND THEY RODE THE MARKET DOWN.
WHAT ABOUT THE MONEY FROM SODDOM, RICHARDSON AND NOTSOBRTGHT WERE THERE MAKING THE DEALS FOR BILLIONS OF DOLLARS, BROKERS WERE SELLING OIL OPTIONS BECAUSE CLINTON WAS GOING TO BOMB IRAQ, REMEMBER, IT DIDN'T HAPPEN AFTER THER DEALS WERE MADE AND CLINTON, BLAIR, NATO BLASTED THE HELL OUT OF INNOCENT SERBIAN PEOPLE AND THEIR COUNTRY. NOW
WHAT ABOUT THOSE CLINTON INVESTERS THAT ARE LOOSING BIG BUCKS BECAUSE HE DIDN'T BOMB IRAQ, THE CLINTONS AND HIS PARTY ARE BECOMING VERY WEALTHY AND NOBODY WILL BELIEVE ANYTHING BUT BUSH AND THE OIL COMPANIES. SO NOW SOMETHING HAD TO BE DONE, CLINTON ORDERED THE SERBIAN OIL REFINERIES TO BOMBED AND THAT WAS ENOUGH TO GET THEIR MONEY BACK, A PUMP UP FOR THE INVESTERS IF YOU WERE AN INSIDER. ANOTHER SCUM BAG BIDEN, DID ANYONE EVER PAY ATTENTION TO WHY BIDEN WENT TO IRAQ? THE COVER UP OF THE MONEY TRAIL, BIDEN'S TRIP
AT THAT TIME SHOULD HAVE BEEN CALL AND ACT OF TREASON AND NOT ALLOW BACK INTO THIS COUNTRY WITHOUT LEG IRONS,CUFFS AND THE FBI AT HIS SIDE AS THE MARCHED HIM OFF TO JAIL.
CLINTON MADE HIS PROMISE COME TRUE AND ALL HIS SUPPORTERS GOT VERY WEALTHY ON THE MARKET LATELY, CAMPAIGN MONEY WAS NO ISSUE AND NOT ONE AMERICAN SPOKES PERSON HAS CALLED FOR THE INVESTIGATION OF THE OIL MONEY BEING MADE. JET MANY OF THESE WEALTHY PEOPLE WANT BAIL OUTS. THE MONEY THEY MADE ON THE OIL MARKET COULD AND WOULD BAIL OUT EVERY COMPANY IN TROUBLE IF THE REALLY ARE IN TROUBLE. REMEMBER ON THING THEY WANT TO BANKRUPT THIS COUNTRY, THE WNAT THE EUROS AND WITH LOW LIVE BOB RUBIN AT THEIR SIDES HE IS WELL EXPERIENCED IN DEALING WITH THE BUBBLES OF FINANCIAL CORUPTION. BRINGING DOWN THIS COUNTRY IS TREASON, BOB RUBIN, EMANUAL,BOTH CLINTON,FRANK RICHARDSON AND ALBRIGHT THEY DON'T NEED A GUN OR A BOMB, JUST SAY THE WORD AND IT SHAL BE DONE. RUBIN LIKE GREENPAN ONLY NEED, A PEN.
Why did Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson go to New Mexico to make sure Bill Richardson became governor of the state,not elected governor but put into the spot of governor. Jackson grew up on election fraud and became very wealthy over election fraud, Italian imported silk suits, private jet,
lemosine, wine women and drugs flying above our heads in his better days. They went there and got the job done, low live, treasonous Richardson became governor and why, REMEMBER Los ALAMOS i don't thing i have to say more. Once again Richardson is in a key spot to harm this country.
Every American should be writing and calling for the REMOVAL of Richardson, Richardson is not change it is the same old, same old lies,cover up of corruption.
I honestly think that many people are scared to death that their family and friends will be killed if the go after those that are being place in this not administration but mafia group that will be running the country.
What would China or any other country do if Albright,Richardson,Rubin,Enanual,Frank and others that lived their, these people would have been put to death long ago, more than likely tortured before death.
obama and other liberal communist want set the terrorist free, give them a liberal communist lawyer and judge and set them free and give them jobs in our White House or turn them over to Richardson, I'm sure Richardson will put them to good use.
Does anyone know why Charlie Rangle in not behind bars jet and why is he still sitting in Congress. If not removed than Polosi and Reid must resign, that's what the constitution calls for. Charlie Rangle a man that has nothing but hatred for this country and the American people.

The Obama campaign has maintained that he was born in Hawaii, has an authentic birth certificate, and is a "natural-born" U.S. citizen. Hawaiian officials agree.

Wrong. No Hawaiian official has ever said Obama was born in Hawaii or he was a natural born citizen. They merely say he has a BC on file and it is possible under Hawaiian laws that the BC will indicated he was born in Kenya and the birth was registered in Hawaii.

[TruthWillWin]

And that newspaper birth announcement does not say what where he was born. No hospital or place of birth mentioned leaving the possibility that he was born in Kenya.

[DJ MacWoW]

So you signed up simply to post Wiki propaganda? In one of the birth announcements, neither parents or grandparents lived at the address given. Odd, yes? You can have any announcement put in any paper if you’re willing to pay for it. It isn’t official and means nothing.

[penelopesire]

The Trib always uses the same Pro Obama guy from the University of California to debunk every BC lawsuit. Eugene Volokh. He is from Russia (lol) and writes for the Huffington Post.

Go figure....(eye roll)

The Obama campaign has maintained that he was born in Hawaii, has an authentic birth certificate, and is a "natural-born" U.S. citizen. Hawaiian officials agree.

I keep seeing the “Hawaiian officials agree” but don’t read that in the Hawaiian officials’ statements that I have read. What are they quoting that from?

[HamiltonJay]

Well the question becomes as far as I can tell, what proof does the plaintiff have that Fauxbama is not a citizen? Is not the burden of proof on the Plaintiff? Does this guy have any solid evidence or just rumor and second hand verbal allegations?

[Mogollon]

SCOTUS has claimed that a right to an abortion is in th constitution and constantly refuses to repeal it due to stare decisus. So...I think they will probably sweep this under the rug.

I do believe this will come back to bite them in the near future though.

[couchpotatoxxx12]

Well, although it probably doesn’t apply to a case like this, it’s “innocent until proven guilty”. I’d imagine the burden of proof would be on the people making the accusations.

[Marathoner]

I am also very very angry with our so called conservative voices, Rush, Laura et al. They are not brave enough to come out and talk about this. THEY ARE COWARDS!!! How dare they sit in judgement of others who keep silent when they do exactly the same.

YES!! And unless I missed it, you can add TGO (Levin) to that list. I'm especially disappointed in him. Again, if he's dealt with it and I missed it, I apoligize.

[Mr. Lucky]

So, you figure his mother traveled back in time to plant a birth announcement in an Hawaii newspaper?

[fanfan]

Dugg!

[TruthWillWin]

It is not only possible but very common for grandparents to notify newspapers of births. Also if you look at the date of the newspapers the birth announcements (yes, it was in two papers) appeared 4 and 9 days after the birth. How many days does it take to fly from Kenya to Hawaii.

Neither birth announcement listed the hospital or place of birth. It is also common for hospitals to notify newspapers of births, and if so almost always the hospital where the birth took place is included in the announcement.
