Chief Justice John Roberts has sent a full-throated challenge of Barack Obama’s presidential eligibility to conference: Lightfoot v. Bowen (SCOTUS docket page). I.O. interviewed Lightfoot lead attorney, Orly Taitz at 2:20pm CT, today, minutes after she learned of this move.
Taitz believes, “This is Chief Justice Roberts telling the Congress… the other eight Justices, that there is a problem with this election.”
The Lightfoot case has legal standing, due to litigant, Libertarian Gail Lightfoot’s vice presidential candidacy in California. It also address two major issues of legal merit: 1. Obama’s failure to provide legally evidentiary documentation of citizenship and American birth and, 2. his United Kingdom citizenship at birth, passed to him by his Kenyan father when that nation was a British colony. (Other current challenges also submit that Obama’s apparent status as an Indonesian citizen, as a child, would have caused his American citizenship to be revoked.) This case is therefore considered the strongest yet, to be heard by the Supreme Court. Obama challenger, Philp Berg had previously been granted conference hearings, scheduled this Friday, 1/9 and on 1/16.
Roberts was submitted this case on 12/29, originally a petition for an injunction against the State of California’s Electoral College vote. His action comes one day before the Congress is to certify the Electoral College votes electing Barack Obama, 1/8. The conference called by Roberts is scheduled for 1/23. Orly Taitz is not deterred by the conference coming after the inauguration, which is to be held 1/20, “If they find out that he was not eligible, then they can actually rescind the election; the whole inauguration and certification were not valid.” The strongest time for legal and judicial rulings are generally after the fact.

It does say he has to be a NATURAL BORN citizen and it’s up to the govt. to vet him and make sure he is. If they don’t, it’s up to the people to do so.
You know, Tru, I have had people in my home from all over the world. A friend from an African county was executed in a coup a month after he visited.
I would be very proud to have a person of color, minority, or other person who qualified for the office elected. However, that does not appear to be the situation.
Unfortunately with the stigma his indiscretion will bring to the African community, it may be a long time before another minority person is elected....That IMO is the saddest outcome of this entire predicament.
Please I have enough dentist anxiety. Just the thought of this on line law school grad in my mouth is terrifying. I wonder if she got her DMD on line too?
He will be committing perjury when he takes the oath of office and swears to "preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States," if in fact he is not a natural born citizen. In that event, he will have broken his oath the instant he swears it.
The Supremes are supposed to uphold the constitution. They shouldn’t in good conscience swear him in without proof that he meets all of the requirements. It doesn’t matter. They won’t stop him. None of the justices wants to go down in history as the evil racist S.C. judge who stopped the first black president.
I only wish your father was on the SCOTUS now; better yet that he could clone himself and have all nine seats.
Great stuff, and excellent questions!!,p>
My question is why the hell isn’t talk radio on this stuff!
You are forgetting Thomas.....He’s already weathered the storm.
Jerssy this isn’t about race, please don’t portray is as such
The judge he gave the paper to said: If he were twenty years younger he’d nominate him for an appointment to a federal judge position.
Dad replied “If I were ten years younger, I’d take it.”
There should be a huge difference between and “evil racist” and a Justice that upholds a 200+ year old document that has served the country well through bad and good times.
Thanks for the Ping! This time line, may have a couple dates in error, but most definitely an excellent time line!
Folks who know nothing about the research done to get to the truth, should at least take the time to read this time line. This issue is NOT GOING AWAY after January 20th.
I will not refer to or consider Barack Hussien Obama aka Barry Soetoro as my President until I see him prove he meets the constitutional requirements to hold the office of President.
Hillary would run over Bubba if it served her and he would willingly lie under the bus if she told him to. She has way too much on him she can leak any ol' time for him to fight back.
The contest is which crime family is the most brutal and the slickest. The OCF(obama Crime family) or the CCF(Clinton Crime Family). They are both deadly forces that will do anything to maintain power and advance socialism.
Nothing or anyone gets in their way.
When the country gets to the point where there is no right or wrong anymore,only expedience, we have failed.
That type of manipulation techniques usually is reserved for toddlers, preteens or insecure, inadequate, immature youth.
Of course there should be a difference but it doesn’t matter. It’s all about the country bowing down to the messiah. He shouldn’t have been allowed to get as far as he did. He beat Hillary because his campaign played the race card. That is how he is going to get over. Republicans in power are too weak to stand up to the rats. That’s why were are in this mess.
