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 *LIBTARDS* won’t be in *DENIAL* once the Supreme Court orders Obama’s *DEPORTATION* back to Kenya!
If BO can become President with a fake birth certificate.
Then Arnold S. could run next time.
“Hard to blame Jake when even so called conservatives like Medved are dismissing it out of hand as well, via the same ignorance.”
I really can’t believe these people actually get paid to report the news. Why bother to actually research the facts when the talking points from B. Hussein are readily available.
He doesn’t get anything right that’s why Obama loves him. He’s a perfect idiot to disseminate misinformation.
F*ck Jake and the rest of the traitorous MSM.
I agree Jake is a jerk and a useful idiot.
What are you talking about? During George Bush's eight years in office, they frequently used terms for the anti-bushies, like...uh...um....er...hang on...ahh...sheeeesh...
Can any conservative ever again trust a damn word these people utter besides the daily temperature and the game scores? I know I can't.
Nope. Nope. Nope.
Go read your Constitution. It ain't that easy. And for good reason.
Maybe you should do a little reading on this subject before making such an unknowledgeble statement:-)
Interesting hypothetical timeline there, and I would agree that the SC will probably handle it that way. It’s not their job to hear cases, or look at evidence, but to interpret the Constitution and the constitutionality of cases on appeal.
One thing that sticks, though, is why wouldn’t someone in NJ, such as the RNC, or some other entity, challenge the NJ SoS’ affirmation of Obama’s documents before the matter went back to the court?
Why couldn’t she be legally challenged by rules and regulations of the state of NJ to share her findings, expert examinations included, with the public?
Just asking.
I highly doubt it. The EC can't just arbitrarily disenfranchise an entire state from the Presidential election process.
If the NJ votes are dis-qualified, then a domino effect will ensue through all 50 states.
There are strict constitutional guidelines for how the process is handled, "...if the President elect should fail to qualify...".
Read Article I.
ZERO has stated that there are major portions of the Constitution that he disagrees with and believes are wrong!
ZERO is the Idiot that holds his crotch with both hands while Our National Anthem is played!!
ZERO wants to create a new and more perfect KENYA where Our United States now stands!!
ZERO has promised his cousin “ODINGA” that he will be The Secretary of Defense within the next year/s/!
There are stiff penalties for swearing a false oath of office.
Don't make it sound like the swearing-in ceremony will spell the end of the road for this issue. If Obama is sworn in without full disclosure on his part, and without the questions regarding his provenance and constitutional qualifications having been answered satisfactorily, there will be gridlock and national disunity like nothing seen since the Civil War era.
I don't know what Obama's endgame plan is, but it has to include laying this entire issue to rest. If it does not, then he and his advisors are complete fools, or they are hoping for insurrection.
Thanks, LucyT

What? "Raising hell" accomplished the establishment of the USA, my friend. A little (or a lot) of hell may be required to keep it from falling.
Your asinine, and uniformed comments aren't doing these busy patriots any good. Go back to sleep, if you can't confront evil.
"American Patriots. Protecting dum@asses and liberals, whether they like it or not."
Oh, now that the lunatic left is going to show at the SCOTUS to protest, suddenly it becomes news for the MSM.
Oh sorry, I misread it, it’s late I guess. How could I have been so mistaken to think the MSM would refer to the left as “fringe”.
“I notice they’re using the words ‘fringe’ and ‘eccentric’ to describe those of us who support the Constitution. After finally getting used to the phrase ‘vast right-wing conspiracy,’ I guess we’ve got a new name now: ‘The Anti-Obama Fringe.’”
The vast right-wing conspiracy = Monica + blue dress
I’m not a big fan of Leo’s case, and yes, I’ve read it twice. But I wish him well.
Is it true that Bobby Jindal would also be ineligible to be elected POTUS per Leo Donofrio’s allegations?
Jindal’s parents were non U.S. citizens.
