The justices of the U.S. Supreme Court will tomorrow discuss whether or not it should take up the case of Leo C. Donofrio, Applicant, v. Nina Mitchell Wells, New Jersey Secretary of State, a case that challenges the citizenship of President-elect Obama.
After the Justices meet -- and assuredly decline to hear the matter -- the anti-Obama activists supporting the case will hold a vigil near the steps of the highest Court in the land.
The theory -- which is without evidence -- is that Mr. Obama's birth certificate is faked, and that he was not born in Hawaii but rather Kenya, making him ineligible for the presidency. (Or, alternately, that the birth certificate proves only that Mr. Obama was born at some point, not that he was born in Hawaii.)
The Obama campaign says that's nonsense, that he was born in Hawaii, has a birth certificate, and is a natural born U.S. citizen. Period.
As Hawaii's Pacific Business News reported in October: "The director of Hawaii’s Department of Health confirmed on Friday what Barack Obama has been saying all along: the presidential candidate was born in Honolulu. 'There have been numerous requests for Sen. Barack Hussein Obama’s official birth certificate,' said Chiyome Fukino. 'State law prohibits the release of a certified birth certificate to persons who do not have a tangible interest in the vital record.' Citing her statutory authority to oversee and maintain Hawaii’s vital records, Fukino said she has 'personally seen and verified that the Hawaii State Department of Health has Sen. Obama’s original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures. No state official, including Gov. Linda Lingle, has ever instructed that this vital record be handled in a manner different from any other vital record in the possession of the State

The memo from Obama headquarters must have cleared since the MSM is finally covering it to try to dismiss it as the rantings of fools.
The propaganda wing has spoken!
Achtung, baby
All this could be settled if Hussein produced his birth certificate. Why does he refuse to do so?
There is a BC.
Well, I’ll say one thing. Instead of covering it up completely, the media are now all piling on with the press releases issued from the basement of the Office of the President Elect in Chicago.
I think that shows that they must be at least a little worried, and want to mobilize opinion against SCOTUS hearing the case.
I believe it only takes four votes to put it on the Supreme Court docket.
And as I’ve said before, I believe the consequences of NOT investigating Obama’s eligibility will be far more damaging than the riots that would be orchestrated (like Odinga’s in Kenya) if he is disqualified. Better to bit the bullet and do the right thing than to see the country descend into chaos, dictatorship, and civil war.
Because the obvious answer is correct.
“All this could be settled if Hussein produced his birth certificate. Why does he refuse to do so?”
He doesn’t have one, it does NOT exist...
He has defrauded this nation and its people.
To avoid riots, maybe the Supremes will decide that the affadavit of a government official is enough evidence, making the actual certificate unnecessary.
Ugh.
I like Berg’s chances better than Donofrio’s, frankly. But the more lawsuits, the better.
What will the MSM do if the SCOTUS takes the case? Will there be a collective power dump in every news room?
Well , I guess he did not bother to speak with Dr. Polarik!
Investigative journalism by any other name!
Buahahahahahah!
Propaganda has taken over the news completely.
Obama Coup on America is still in progress.
Ping!
“Will there be a collective power dump in every news room?”
If there is, I hope they remember Sheryl Crowe’s admonition to use one square of paper per sitting.
;-)

I think this is unfortunately, the most realistic prediction.
This will be buried in legalistic sleight of hand and obfuscation. In other words: lies in the face of a very CLEAR Constitutional requirement.
LOL! Talk about arrogance! He doesn’t even make the attempt to address the issues.
Well we do have this: while Obama screws up America over the next four years, almost certainly some sort of proof will emerge regarding Obama’s actual birth place. If it is found that Obama is not natural born, having been President doesn’t qualify him to be elected again. Furthermore, there wouldn’t be time to amend the Constitution.
So, let’s have the patience and in 2012, elect a Republican President, preferably Sarah Palin and Bobby Jindall as VP.
I doubt if this jerk even wrote the article. The talking points were probably faxed to him like the press releases clinton used to fax from the White House basement.
If the case is declined I suggest that the gathering hold a march to the Kenyan Embassy to demand they release all of their information pertaining to their native son. Can I say native son? PC?
