Thanks for the pings STARWISE!
It does not matter if Washington Supreme court hears the case or not or when it will hear it. What is important is the order for discovery. If such order is granted, Steve Pidgeon will have a court order to gain access to the vault copy of 0bama BC. And if the vault copy shows what we think it will show, the news will spread like wild fire and it will be all over for 0bama or whatever his name is.
I have always said public pressure and not the justice system is the best course of action to finish the political life of a crooked politician.
Um, the language is from the plaintiffs’ application. No judge has signed the form of order yet, so why is this such good news? No one to whom the request is addressed has any obligation to do anything until and unless a judge signs the form of order, and there is no indication from anything I have seen here that that is going to happen...
Synopsis for those of us that are video challenged please. Thanks
Maybe, or maybe it will goad him into implementing as much as he can, as fast the hugely Democrat Congress will let him, before his political capital leaks away.
It’s excellent .. very well done. You can’t see videos?
Hope that’s not true ... what you miss .. ;(
It explains the duties of the electors, cautions them
that country comes before party, that party pressure
is illegal, that the country has a right to know and
that part of their duty is seeing to the eligibility
of the candidate.
And apparently was ignored. Or the media has not reported any large numbers of "unfaithful electors", or electors who refused to vote until they got a copy of the BC.
Does anyone have a link to the unofficial electoral vote talley? Did anyone vote for Her Thighness or other moderately prominent 'Rat?
Found this:

2008 Election Certificate of Vote, Electoral College Electors, Minnesota Certificate, Secretary of State, US Constitution, Twelfth Amendment, Governor, Obama not eligible, Citizen Wells, Democratic Disaster, December 16, 2008, Al Franken, Norm Coleman controversy
December 16, 2008
“Ignorance is not bliss.”
“Knowledge is Power.”
Minnesota could soon be famous for another 2008 Election
controversy aside from the Al Franken, Norm Coleman
senate race controversy.
The Certificate of Voters must be signed and mailed to the US Senate.
If Minnesota uses the same Certificate that was used in 2004, they had better rethink sending it in without complying with the reference to the Twelfth Amendment to the US Constitution.
There are 2 places in the Twelfth Amendment that refer to presidential eligibility:
“as in the case of the death or other
constitutional disability of the President.”
“But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of
President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the
United States.”
Everyone involved in the presidential election has an obligation to uphold the US Constitution.
MN has taken it one step further and explicitly included it in their certificate.
One might ask how MN Electoral College Electors would know this.
The Citizen Wells blog along with organizations like Democratic Disaster and many other people have been notifying election officials in all 50 states regarding the serious eligibility issues surrounding Barack Obama and the duties of all responsible.
In addition there are many court cases in state courts as well as before the US Supreme Court. So, ignorance of the facts or duties will be no excuse.
Check the Certificate for signatures.
Those signing the 2008 Certificate without ensuring they are
complying with the Twelfth Amendment, are most certainly
guilty of “High Crimes and Misdemeanors” and certainly removal from office.
California Certificate of Voters is questionable
Do we have any takers?
Anyone want to call the Governor or Secretary of State’s office in Minnesota?
Recall initiatives, impeachment, removal from office?
Here’s Google’s news of the electoral college:
http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=electoral%20college&sa=N&tab=bn
My prediction is a 5-4 decision either for or against. For all the complaining about Justice Sanders’ heckling of the US AG, he is the one who will write a dissent if Pidgeon loses.
A positive response to this single issue is enough to clarity this whole matter. After all, what have we been demanding if not to see Obama’s Birth Certificate? One court order could accomplish this.
The Detroit Free Slave Press article has a little more news, Franco Harris, former NFL star, was among 21 Obama electors from PA. They also admit that the process is not finished until Congress "tallies the outcome of Monday's vote". How about that?
The NY Slimes is a rather snotty pre vote piece, so no news there either.
The San Jose Mercury Snooze piece was an editorial summarized as "The only place the Electoral College belongs today is in history books as a quaint reminder of olden days". Not mentioning that it would require a Constitutional Amendment to do that. Fancy that.
New York's Newsday, also slipped a bunch of "eliminate the EC" editorializing into the story, whose only "news" was that a NY legislator has introduced a Bill to eliminate the EC, and that 49 states have had such bills, with 4 states having passed them. Oh, and the electors also voted to give back their stipend, all of $15 each.
Oregon's News Review reports that one elector could not make it to the state capital, and that the state's Secretary of State was elected as a substitute.
The Houston Carbuncle reports that the electoral college vote is merely "ceremonial". But there was some Good News (for us Texicans at least) "Republicans still hold all statewide elected offices and control both chambers of the Legislature."
In Maryland, according to the Washington Compost, state law had to be "loosely interpreted" to all the electors to vote. (But they are Dems, they are used to loose interpretations of the law that allow them to do whatever they want). It seems the State House is closed for refurbishment, and state law requires them to meet there. They did not. Maybe someone can challenge those 10 votes on that basis. No longer than voting need take, they could do the ceremonial parts elsewhere, they could have all put on hard hats, trooped in, cast their ballots, and trooped out. But bending the law is easier than thinking about how to obey it, for 'Rats.
That's all I can stomach. I guess there was no real news in the electoral college votes. Of course they haven't been counted yet, and at least in some states they appear to be on secret ballots, so there still might be some news come January 6th.
Darn, the "tea leaves" aspect of 'rat electors, even just one, voting for someone other than The Anointed One, would have been "interesting".
I changed the search a bit to add "tally" and what should pop up, first even, but a story from AZCentral.com
In all 50 states and the District of Columbia, 538 electors Monday performed a constitutional process to legally elect Democrat Barack Obama the 44th president. With every state reporting, all the electors had cast ballots in accordance with the popular votes in their states. Obama's election is not complete until Congress tallies the outcome of the Electoral College vote at a joint session scheduled for Jan. 6
(The correct date is January 8th, Public Law 110-430 changed the date of the electoral vote in Congress in 2009 from January 6 to January 8. This date change is effective only for the 2008 presidential election.
So, either the fix is in, or the DemonRats are putting all their eggs in the Bama Basket, confident that there will be no DQ of The Messaih, The One We Have Been Waiting For, the Kenyan.
...
Think I'll search over at AP just to be sure.... Couldn't find any confirmation of that. But stories on the EC vote are few and far between, and usually puff pieces with no hard news or numbers.
The only reason I can think that a new BC or a replacement one isn’t slipped in, is that too many people have copies so that the people who are in position to change the existing information are afraid to put their neck on the line for a president that looks to be up to his eyeballs in scandals before he even takes office.

This link provides information on the 2008 Electoral College of every state and Certificates signed by each Governor. Lots of information. I noteiced that the Minnasota certificate signed by the Governor is not posted as yet. This site also lists the states where the Electors are not bound to vote for the winner of the popular vote, and those that are.
