I thought we should have a link to post any and all updates.
Our Forefather’s in their wisdom established our government in three parts to check and balance each other. They specifically stated the requirements for the office of the president. You have sworn to uphold the Constitution of the United States. Unfortunately they did not establish who would vet each candidate to determine eligibility.
Nor did they establish “standing” if such a case were ever to be presented.. Standing , a arbitrary term established for the smooth working of the judiciary system, is not a condition established by the Constitution
We’re gonna have to wait until Monday morning to find out.
A long conference could mean that the SCOTUS is taking this seriously.
I'll take it.
I think you hit the nail right on the head.
I'm not sure of the specifics, but in the case that involves Calero it's not about challenging a candidates qualifications, but it's about challenging the job performance and duties of a Secretary of State. I believe.
Hear! Hear!!
OK, the whole weekend to speculate or we hear about it through leaks...
Brilliant observation ... and it is one of the reason Justice Thomas is the finest Justice in our lifetime, perhaps in the History of the Court. It is also the sign of a man in full, which the affrimative action fraudObama couldn’t stand about Justice Thomas so obammy ridiculed him in the Saddleback interview.
Since he's not a citizen, he need not worry about carbon credits. ;-)
Then why don’t you post the odds you’ll give?
If I put down $10, do I get 100:1 odds of the Supremes taking on the case? And that means you think the odds of Obama getting kidnapped by aliens are the same? You’re nuts, and your word is no good.
They are just going to be VERY cautious that the "T"s are crossed and the "I"'s dotted in precisely the correct historical manner.
Interesting, but his documents are no more ‘sealed’ than any other HI ones, as peer the HI Dir. of Vital Records public letter, issued to verify that Gov. Lingle had not acted in any special way over Obammy’s documents.

That is just absurd. This country is a republic, not a democracy.
Cool....
Obama gets the whole weekend to ruminate and sweat-it-out with us.
Watch his twitch.
It’s free money. He thinks the odds of aliens kidnapping Obama are the same as the Supremes taking on this case. I figure that’s gotta be at least 10,000 to 1 odds. But he’ll back down once he realizes just how foolish he is.
My guess is that Barry Soetoro, aka Baraq Hussein 0bama, sat down over drinks with his radical buddies a long time ago, and as a professor of Constitutional Law figured out that they could “end run” the natural born clause in the Constitution, because no one is quite sure what it means. They knew that once the election were held, the SCOTUS would not reverse the results of an election, except with the most convincing evidence. One Hussein made his trip to see his dying granny [seal his BC], he was home free.
***That’s about hwat I’ve been saying all along.
I believe that he thinks it will just go away.
Apply some common sense, please. Electors are chosen on a purely partisan basis...Democratic ones would feel right at home in the pages of motherjones, dailykos, moveon, and so on. Do you really, honestly believe that such a person is going to cast a Electoral vote for John McCain?
Of course they wouldn’t. Obama’s ineligibility will simply move them to select the next best Democratic alternative. Clinton has burned too many bridges for an 11th hour reprieve. Hence, Biden.
I’ll give you odds, that’s fair. 10:1?
I’m also guessing that once he’s inaugurated, he’ll claim executive privilege for lots of things he doesn’t want out. This needs to be settled ASAP.
