From Leo Donofrio's blog, just prior to this:

[UPDATE 12:23 PM The main stream media should stop saying SCOTUS refused to hear the case. It was distributed for conference on Nov. 19. They had the issue before them for for sixteen days. Yes, they didn't take it to the next level of full briefs and oral argument. But they certainly heard the case and read the issues. The media is failing to acknowledge that. The case and issues were considered. Getting the case to the full Court for such consideration was my goal. I trust the Supreme Court had good reason to deny the application. Despite many attempts to stop their full review, my case was placed on their desks and into their minds. Please remember that. It's important for history to record that.]

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, it’s 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 Nov. 21 I filed official Judicial misconduct charges with the NJ Supreme Court Advisory Committee on Judicial Conduct, and I updated SCOTUS about that by a letter which is part of SCOTUS Docket as of Nov. 22. The NJ Appellate Divison official case file is fraudulent.

On the chance that SCOTUS was looking at both my case and Cort’s case, I must stress that Cort’s 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 don’t know if it’s significant that Cort’s 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.

All eyes should now be closely watching US Supreme Court Docket No. 08A469, Wrotnowski v. Bysiewicz.

If Cort’s application is also denied then the fat lady can sing. Until then, the same exact issue is before SCOTUS as was in my case. Cort’s application before SCOTUS incorporates all of the arguments and law in mine, but we improved on the arguments in Cort’s quite a bit 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.

Cort’s case has a much cleaner lower court procedural history.

I’m not trying to play with people’s minds here. SCOTUS has not updated Cort’s docket and until they do there can be no closure. I was expecting, if they didn’t grant certiorari, that they would deny both cases at the same time so as to provide closure to the underlying issue. I hate to read tea leaves, but Cort’s application is still pending. That’s all we can really say with any certainty.

I would like to thank Leo Donofrio for his yeoman work, but whoever put up post # 19 on this thread has an obvious spelling problem with the word “Court.”

The more time goes on today knowing LDonofrio’s cause was denied without comment, the sicker I feel.

I think I’m going to have to write to the SCOTUS. This issue needs resolution, once and for all.

Pray for America.

If Cort’s application is also denied then the fat lady can sing. Until then, the same exact issue is before SCOTUS as was in my case.

But other cases, Keyes for example, go directly to the "not born in the US" question.

IMHO, that is the only question the court will entertain. Natural Born citizen is not defined in the Constitution, so one has to go to colonial/English statue and common law. There citizenship goes with both place of birth and *father's* citizenship. See for example Blackstone (who was read by most of the founding fathers and others of the time as THE authority on English Common Law).

Blackstone also mentions statue law qualifications. I think the only way Barry is going to be DQ'd is for him to have been born in Kenya (or elsewhere outside the US) , and only then because his US Citizen mother did not meet the residency requirements.

I don't know what it is, but B. Hussein is hiding something in his birth records.

Interesting reply in Donofrio's comments section:

There is STILL a way around this, folks. Let’s contact the McCain electors and tell them that they MUST vote for Hillary. She is undoubtedly a natural-born citizen, and Republicans can show that they are able to put politics aside and vote for Hillary Clinton on principle.

But we only have 7 days left. Please consider this option.
