Not suprising. The Supremes have been skittish on anything politcal since 2000.
For decades in obscenity cases, a four-Justice minority would file sometimes lengthy dissents, ending with the correct point that they could have forced the Court to hear the case.
***Something about that just strikes me as ridiculously crass. I’ll bet no one knows why they didn’t just force the court to hear it. They felt strongly but not strongly enough, just like today. They sometimes act more like politicians than supreme court justices, and our constitutional republic suffers because of it.
“Most people simply do not care. If they did, they would not have voted for the guy, or at least demanded that the news media do their job. They didn’t, and I don’t remember a huge outcry among the broader population about it.”
This isn’t really the big problem with the birth certificate issue. Rather, it’s just the complete unreasonableness of Obama’s mother, nine months pregnant, traveling to *Kenya* to give birth. In 1961! Air travel back then sure was cheap, nice and comfortable - not to mention affordable. Hell, Obama sr. couldn’t afford paying his family’s living expenses (well, he chose not to to advance his career, but...) - but he could finance around-the-globe-trips?
Oh, and I’m sure old man (”Big Man”) Obama would have been thrilled to bring back his wife to Kenya - so that she could meet his *other bigamous wife*.
There just is no logical reason why Obama should have been born in Kenya.
What is logical is of course liberals loving every moment of conservatives wasting effort and time on a wild goose chase. Makes it easier to write off the opposition to all the crap coming down the pike (Amnesty, The New Deal 2.0, Socialized medicine, Auto industry socialization, banking industry socialization, if you need to be reminded...) as paranoid delusions.
Not to mention that it diverts attention from the tiny little fact that Obama’s entire official life’s story is a big fat lie.
Sorry for the rant, but I felt I had to chip in on this debate.
Sorry to say, his explanation for the denial is somewhat delusional.
And let me add that one of the main reasons I do not think his case was the best one for the Court to consider is that the issues were blurred by his allegations that not one, but THREE candidates were ineligible.
If the Court is going to ever confront this controversy, it undoubtedly will choose to do it on a case that properly crystalizes the issues. This one wasnt that case.
The case had nothing to do with Obama’s birthplace. It was about changing how a person is determined to be a natural born citizen. This was never going to work.
Hummm,just catching up.So Keyes suit is different.
Here we have a Poseur who is not eligible to serve and we cannot oblige ourselves to serve him. It is not possible. Biden yes. Hillary yes. Ralph Nader yes. As unpalatable choices they may be, they would be legitimate.
Obama is not and anything he signs or agrees to will be unconstitutional. When he is found out in the ensuing years, we will have to fix the mess by litigation which will make the original problem worse. In still others we will be forced to fix them by fiat for expediency.
The funny thing is we cannot argue policy difference with someone who not eligible. He be challenged so that we can fight a legitimate President such as Biden or Hillary.
Obama worries liberals
Barack Obama's Cabinet moves and policy choices are drawing fire from the left. » 'Cause for concern'
Um, hello? Reality?
You need to read up on the laws because you are INCORRECT.
According to the law at the time, his mother was not old enough to transfer automatic citizenship to her child if he was born out of the country.
What Leo has to say this morning:
‘My application was denied. The Honorable Court chose not to state why.
Wrotnowksi v. Connecticut Secretary of State is still pending as an emergency application resubmitted to the Honorable Associate Justice Antonin Scalia as of last Tuesday. I worked extensively on that application and it includes a more solid brief and a less treacherous lower Court procedural history.
After six days, its interesting that Scalia neither denied it nor referred it to the full Court.
My case may have suffered from the NJ Appellate Division Judge having incorrectly characterized my original suit as a motion for leave to appeal rather than the direct appeal that it actually was. On Dec 21 I filed official Judicial misconduct charges with the NJ Supreme Court and I updated SCOTUS on that by a letter which is part of SCOTUS Docket as of Dec. 22.
On the chance that SCOTUS was looking at both my case and Corts case, I will say that Corts case does not have the same procedural hang up that mine does. It may be that without a decision on the Judicial misconduct allegation correcting the NJ Appellate Division case file, SCOTUS might have been in the position of not being able to hear my case as it would appear that my case was not before them on the proper procedural grounds.
I did file a direct appeal under the proper NJ Court rules, but the lower Court judge refused to acknowledge that and if his fraudulent docketing was used by SCOTUS they would have a solid procedural basis to throw mine out.
I dont know if its significant that Corts case was not denied at the same time as mine. -His case argues the same exact theory - that Obama is not a natural born citizen because he was a British citizen at birth - as I did.
All eyes should now be closely watching US Supreme Court Docket No. 08A469, Wrotnowski v. Bysiewicz.
If Corts application is also denied then the fat lady can sing. Until then, the same exact issue is before SCOTUS as was in my case. Corts application before SCOTUS incorprates all of the arguments and law in mine, but we improved on mine quite a bit in Corts as we had more time to prepare it.
I was in a rush to get mine to SCOTUS before election day, which I did do on Nov. 3. But Corts case has a much cleaner lower court procedural history.
Im not trying to play with peoples minds here. SCOTUS has not updated Corts Docket and until they do so there can be no closure.’
Actually he did a sneaky thing. He was a cosponsor of the resolution. He had this line inserted which was totally out of place within the context of the resolution since it was talking about John McCains specific circumstances
Whereas previous presidential candidates were born outside of the United States of America and were understood to be eligible to be President;"
This line wasn't needed if you read the rest of the resolution
are you a scotus expert?
Unfortunately it did not matter who the Dem was or who the Rep was, the Dem was getting electing. The MSM has blamed everything on Bush and the Reps for so long that people were not going to have a Rep get in office this time.
